The city council voted to approve multi-million dollar deal to move the WNBA's Dallas Wings from Arlington to Dallas.
Wednesday, the city council voted to approve a multi-million dollar deal to move the team from Arlington to Dallas.
“For the last two years, we’ve been working with the Dallas Wings. It’s now on the record that it’s the Dallas Wings, our incredible WNBA team, and I have to say, our incredible partner,” said Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson during Wednesday’s council meeting.“It takes us to another place,” said Wings President and CEO Greg Bibb.
“When we started to think about how do we serve our fans, how do we meet the demand for our product, there’s a reality to College Park Center. There are 6,251 seats. If we want to continue to grow, we need more seats. We need a bigger building. We need facilities for our athletes to train at the level that they need to train,” he said.“What a perfect time for the Wings and the City of Dallas to make this historic announcement," said Bibb.
For city leaders, the announcement marks a win in a years-long campaign to recruit professional sports teams back to a city that others have left.
