    I love the Platinum level. Nice bathrooms, less people, in-seat wait service, premium beer and alcohol selections. But most importantly a great view of the Mavs or Stars game as well as concerts.

    Arena resembles an old train station. Eat at nearby Victory Tavern. Lots to do in the AT&T Plaza before the game. If you need help deciding which Seats to purchase for your next Stars game, check out Read more

    Of all the event places I have been, this has got to be the easiest place to get in and out of. I didn’t have to go around the block just to figure out where I was going. It was all well marked.

    Very clean and modern for a sports stadium. The concourses are wide and the seats are comfy, you won't feel like a sardine watching the game. Check out the Dr. Pepper Fan Zone, with DP-infused food!

    Plenty of parking close to the arena. There's a bar/restaurant on the first level that let's you go outside and return without scanning your ticket. Nice to have a beer and a smoke at the same time.

    I'll come here to watch hockey but sometimes I get distracted and end up just using the very nice restrooms- there's lots of them. Then there's day when I get here and the pace is locked up.

    At Stars games, the US & Canadian national anthems are performed by the beautiful and talented Celena Rae. Stars fans have a tradition during the singing of the US anthem that no other team can have.

    Orange parking is worth the price. It is easier to park. When you exit the lot, the police officers stop the oncoming traffic and pedestrians to allow you to exit quickly.

    The Lost and Found is open 24 hours a day. Call them and you can pick it up on the West side entrance near the fan shop, at the employees entrance.

    Best hockey seats are not where you'd think. Try the North goal. Watch the Stars attack directly at you 2 of 3 periods. Cheaper tickets too.

    Skip ticketmaster and buy your tickets at the AAC box office. You'll save lots on the convenience fees and often get better ticket options.

    This is a sick spot to skate. Once in a while you can catch a good contest called D-Town throwdown to see the heavy hitters jump down the stairs.

    Good venue... But of course beer & food are way over priced. Also, if you're a smoker, you can only take your drink with you outside on the platinum level. Otherwise, you have to go out the front.
