Voters in the Dallas area have rejected a proposal to fund a new arena for the NHL's Dallas Stars through new taxes, according to Associated Press reports on November 4, 2026.
The ballot measure, which would have authorized tax increases to help finance a replacement for the American Airlines Center, was defeated in a local referendum. The Stars have played at the American Airlines Center since 2001.
Details on the vote margin and specific tax proposals were not immediately available. The team's ownership had argued a new venue was necessary to remain competitive, while opponents cited the public cost.
