The Dallas City Council is expected to consider a 15-year deal on April 24, 2024, that could see the WNBA’s Dallas Wings relocate from UT- Arlington’s College Park Center to downtown Dallas’ convention center arena.

The resolution up for consideration Wednesday concerns a resident use and incentive agreement for the Dallas Memorial Auditorium, part of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center downtown. The auditorium's renovation is part of a larger development plan for the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

“A professional sports team has expressed desire to relocate to the City as its resident home base,” the draft resolution reads. “The city recognizes the potential detrimental effects the relocation may cause the professional sports team… and the city recognizes the long-term economic and collateral benefits to be gained by activating the use of the Arena through the relocation of a professional sports team to the city.”

The Wings aren’t named in the resolution shared in Dallas City Council agenda documents, but Dallas Wings’ CEO Greg Bibb confirmed in a statement that they’ve been in talks with Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and other city officials about the planned renovations to the auditorium.
