Description: REUNION ARENA Reunion Arena, located in downtown Dallas, Texas, was a multi-purpose venue that served as the home of the Dallas Mavericks (NBA) from their inception in 1980 until 2001 and the Dallas Stars (NHL) from their relocation to Dallas in 1993 until 2001. Opened in 1980, the arena was named for the nearby historic Reunion District and was a modern facility for its time, boasting a seating capacity of over 17,000 for basketball and hockey. Its circular design and cutting-edge retractable seating allowed it to host a wide variety of events, from sports to concerts to conventions.For the Mavericks, Reunion Arena witnessed the rise of stars such as Mark Aguirre, Rolando Blackman, and Derek Harper in the 1980s, as the team became a playoff contender. The arena also hosted the Mavericks’ deep playoff runs in the mid-1980s, including the dramatic seven-game series against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1988 Western Conference Finals. The venue’s intimate setting and raucous crowds made it one of the most challenging places for opponents to play.The Dallas Stars brought NHL hockey to Reunion Arena in 1993, quickly gaining a strong fan base. Under the leadership of stars like Mike Modano, Ed Belfour, and Brett Hull, the Stars achieved their greatest success while playing at Reunion Arena, culminating in their 1999 Stanley Cup Championship. The arena was a key component in introducing professional hockey to Texas and solidifying the Stars’ presence in the region.Reunion Arena also hosted notable non-sporting events, including concerts by major artists such as Prince, U2, and Madonna, as well as the 1984 Republican National Convention. However, by the late 1990s, the aging facility was overshadowed by the construction of larger, more modern venues. Both the Mavericks and Stars moved to the American Airlines Center in 2001, marking the end of Reunion Arena's tenure as a major sports venue. The arena was demolished in 2009, but it remains a cherished part of Dallas sports history, remembered fondly by fans of the Mavericks, Stars, and the countless events it hosted.Unused 4" x 6" continental size chrome postcard.
