The fan-friendly American Airlines Center is home to both the ever-popular Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association and Dallas Stars, long time contenders in the National Hockey League.
We went there for a Dallas Mavs game for my kid's birthday. One thing we thought was pretty neat was they announced his birthday before the game started and put it up on the scoreboard. My 1 year old couldn't have cared less, but I think it would be exciting for older kids.
