Stars align in Plano: $3 billion NHL arena, entertainment district planned for Willow Bend

The Dallas Stars will soon call Plano home.

The gist: The National Hockey League team plans to move from Dallas to a new arena at The Shops at Willow Bend. Plano City Council approved a nonbinding letter of intent from Dallas Sports & Entertainment LP, the Stars’ parent company, on June 8, clearing the way for the move.

The arena will host the Stars home games, practices and camps, along with “other indoor sports, entertainment, cultural and civic events,” according to the letter. Also planned is a surrounding “mixed-use entertainment district,” developed by current property owners Centennial.

Why it matters: The $3 billion development will attempt to create a power play for the mall that some say has been skating on thin ice.

“If you look at Willow Bend Mall now, it’s basically dead,” council member Rick Horne said. “Now we have this opportunity to bring a top notch sports entity here, and it will continue to make the city vibrant.”
