In recent years, Mark Cuban’s vision for a new arena has included a 20-story Madison Square Garden-like structure with window views of Dallas and fans arriving in autonomous cars.
Now his plans are substantially larger in scope, grandeur and — he believes — economic windfall for Dallas and Texas. And himself, naturally.
“My goal, and we’d partner with Las Vegas Sands, is when we build a new arena it’ll be in the middle of a resort and casino,” Cuban told The Dallas Morning News. “That’s the mission.”
Mavericks governor Cuban is not alone among Texas professional sports team owners who think the convergence of athletics and legalized gambling is overdue in the Lone Star State.
