In its final days, the place had returned to its rowdy roots. This type of atmosphere, it's just like when I played here.
Reunion deserves to be honored with a winning team.
Twenty-one years after being billed as one of the NBA's more fantastic facilities, Reunion has outlived its usefulness to the city's NBA and NHL teams. This fall, the Mavericks and the Dallas Stars will move about three miles away to the new American Airlines Center. Reunion will remain alongside Interstate 35 in the shadow of the ball-topped Reunion Tower attached to a hotel across the street. The building still will be home to the Dallas Sidekicks indoor soccer club and other events. It is now the third-oldest facility in the NBA, behind only New York's Madison Square Garden and the Compaq Center in Houston.
