I first visited the American Airlines Center (AAC) when I attended my first Dallas Mavericks game back in 2009. Over the years I have been to almost 100 games and have had more than enough time to study and appreciate the building that brings so many fans joy. It is located in Victory Park in Dallas, Texas, and is home to not only the Mavericks but the NHL’s Dallas Stars, as well as functioning as a hub for many concert experiences.

The arena has three levels of seats, the lower bowl, platinum, and the upper bowl. These seats seem like a lot when you see the arena empty, but the AAC manages to sell out almost every event it hosts, even being comprised of almost an astounding 19,000 seats. There are entrances on every side of the building, making it easy to manage your way around the arena and not get lost. This building has meant more to me than I even realize usually, however, I am thankful that it has been a constant in my life and now I am able to share my experiences and knowledge about it to others.
