Voters in the Dallas area have rejected a proposed tax increase intended to fund a new arena for the NHL's Dallas Stars, according to Associated Press reports. The measure, which would have provided public financing for a replacement venue, was defeated in a referendum held in early November 2026. The Stars currently play at American Airlines Center, which opened in 2001. The team's ownership had sought a new facility to maintain competitiveness. The vote outcome means the franchise will continue operating in its current arena for the foreseeable future.
