History
Reunion Arena was completed in 1980 at a cost of
$27 million.
[1] It was named for the early mid-nineteenth century commune,
La Reunion. In late 2005, the arena and the
Dallas Convention Center were used as the primary Dallas shelters for evacuees of
Hurricane Katrina.
About
The arena also continues to host numerous concerts and other events. The arena features 30,000 ft² (2,790 m²) of arena floor space and has great sightlines, making it ideal for a number of events and games, including many high school graduations.
Home teams
The arena was home to the
MISL Dallas Sidekicks, but the club has been inactive since the Fall of 2004 season. The arena was the home of the
Dallas Mavericks from 1980 to 2001 and the
Dallas Stars from 1993 to 2001. Both teams moved to the
