Stars acquire the MAC and move into multi-sports facility management

FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Stars announced today that the organization has completed the purchase of The MAC (Multipurpose Athletic Complex) in Lewisville, Texas as part of its long-range plan to bring the team's management expertise in youth hockey and facilities operations to other youth sports in the state. As part of this purchase, the Stars will continue to manage the volleyball club currently playing out the facility, Texas Advantage Volleyball.

The MAC is a 38,000-square-foot, air-conditioned multi-sports activity center with eight USA Volleyball regulation courts, four NBA regulation hardwood basketball courts, a full concession stand and food court area. The building is located off Business Highway 121 in Lewisville, Texas, one mile west of I-35E. The Dallas Stars will continue to operate volleyball and basketball leagues, practices and tournaments out of The MAC as it expands the organization's youth sports footprint in DFW.

"Our experience in operating our Children's Health StarCenter facilities for 30 years while managing hundreds of teams and thousands of players on an annual basis has proven our ability to run elite youth sports development programs," stated President and CEO Brad Alberts. "We are confident that applying the same best practices in managing our world-class facilities and training systems will benefit kids in all sports as we expand our overall footprint."
