Dallas City Manager Kim Tolbert on Wednesday said the hometown for the Stars for the last 33 seasons is “fully committed” to the team.

“The city of Dallas has worked in good faith for over a year to secure the AAC as the long-term home for the Dallas Stars beyond the current lease expiration in 2031,” Tolbert said.

Tolbert’s statement comes amid reports that Dallas Stars ownership is actively involved in discussions with other North Texas cities, including Frisco, Plano, The Colony, Arlington and Fort Worth, about a possible new arena location which could include an entertainment district.

Stars CEO Brad Alberts told our partners at The Dallas Morning News earlier this month that no decision has been made.

“There’s no favorites at this point. We’re all just doing our work,” Alberts told The News.

Alberts did not immediately respond to a request for a statement or interview from NBC5 on Wednesday.

The Stars said they are looking for at least 75 acres of land to build a new arena, and if the team decides to move from Dallas, they would need to select a location in the next 6 to 8 months, in order for the arena to be ready for the 2031-32 season.

Dallas city council member Chad West, who chairs the council’s Ad Hoc Committee on Professional Sports Recruitment and Retention, said the Stars belong in Dallas.

“Frankly, it’s up to Dallas to come to the table and make sure we keep our hometown team here,” West said. “I think it would be a miss to assume that we can’t find what the Stars need somewhere within the city of Dallas.”

A city of Plano spokesperson told NBC5 that it wouldn’t publicly comment on economic development projects until they are brought to its city council for formal adoption.

Arlington Mayor Jim Ross was more direct in his desire to bring the Stars down I-30 and into Tarrant County.

“We’re going to be a gracious competitor for the Stars’ attention,” Ross said. “We certainly have a very big interest in becoming one of those options for them.”

“I would argue that nobody is better in the country at doing this in Arlington, Texas, and we know how to get this thing done.”

Arlington brought the Cowboys to town in 2009 from Irving and has been home to the Texas Rangers since big league baseball landed in North Texas in 1972.
