This game was on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, at 7:30 PM. My wife and I picked the Mavericks versus Kings game over the Texas Rangers' opening day. This was Dirk Nowitzky's 21st season and he had recently passed Wilt Chamberlain for 5th all time high scorer. I'm glad we decided to watch the Mavericks since the Rangers lost by over ten runs to the Cubs. The game was almost completely sold out when we bought tickets at the Box Office (about 6 hours before game time on game day). We bought two tickets in different sections for $68 total ($34 each). I was thinking we could sit together anyway and I turned out to be correct. We killed the six hours at a nearby bar called the Happiest Hour which had terrible service and ignored my appeals to change the television to the March Madness game I wanted to watch. The arena is very clean and there isn't a bad view anywhere. Dirk only played briefly during the first quarter but was able to score a few times. He seemed hurt and stretched a lot while on the bench. Luka Doncic scored at will and is definitely a rising star. The Mavericks were already out of playoff contention, but they played hard. They lost to the Kings, 125-121, but it was a fun game to watch. This arena is in a good section of Dallas and the traffic after the game wasn't too bad. Overall, not a bad place to watch an NBA game. read more

See all

Still are pretty much a failure of an organization these days. Mark Cuban I didn't really think would sell the team but it was a deal I am sure that he received. Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis is still there but probably for not much longer. Months later than expected, Nico the GM did get fired and I am sure most Dallas fans still want to beat his ass for trading Luka. read more

Dallas Mavericks - Shawn Marion and J. Kidd when they finally got the title - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Dallas, Texas

When it comes to reviews, I'm a bit of a Maverick. But when it comes to Basketball, I don't have any love for the Dallas team, and I'm a novice when it comes to knowing any of their players, past or present, except for Dirk No-wins-ski. DM are not, then, Depeche Mode. They're a pretty good basketball team with plenty of support from certain factions of the Dallas-Fort Worth population, but definitely not one of the most supported, nor the most successful basketball teams around. And the Houston Rockets always seem to outshine them a little bit in terms of local rivalries. Not to mention the high-flying Spurs, who dominate Texas regularly if we're honest. Being the third best basketball team in Texas cannot sit very well with the local people who are big into their football team more than anything. Thanks babe. read more

Dallas Mavericks - Highway to the danger zone? - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Feeling pretty conflicted here as a long time fan of your team. You are an underdog team, and always have been. You got to the finals with one of your better players, and then this season you dropped him mid-season, cause some higher up didn't want to negotiate a continued contract with him. That stung. Could have at least let him play til the team got edged out in the playoffs this Spring. I don't think I need to be spending any more money on tickets to your games. Y'all stink, and it's just gonna get worse now. Have fun never getting another championship, Dallas! You do you. I hope you realize that 2011 was a long time ago! read more

I did not think it could get worse then how the Dallas Cowboys manage the team and roster. Mav's you take the cookie! Of all the NBA teams you had a superstar and traded him for nearly nothing in return. Yes you got an broken down allstar and future first-round pick but you had a player worth 4 firsts and another superstar at least within an age of longevity. To the fans that still attending the games you have expendable income as the product just like the cowboy's is hot trash. The owners should be fired, including Cuban. Nico could not manage a JV highschool team. Embarrassing and over the next decade plus Mavs will irrelevant. Lucky for the owners they own a team in a market where the fans are die hard and as they attend cowboys games they will continue to spend $ watching this garbage! read more

When: Tuesday, March 21st at 7:30pm What: Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors game Where: Section 124, Row L, Seats 1-5 Price: approximately $250ish each? Who: the roommate and three friends A last minute trip brought the roommate and I to American Airlines Center. He bought tickets to the Mavs game less than a week prior. Though we're Warriors fans, it was fun watching them play the Mavs in their own arena. And to watch the Curry brothers play each other. I'm sure Dallas fans didn't like the result of the game, but obviously, I was happy. Thanks Dallas Mavericks for being my second away game ever! read more

Dallas Mavericks - View from Section 124, Row L, Seat 2 - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I mean.... They paid off Glassdoor a few years ago to take down an honest employee evaluation. The players make millions while the front office staff makes pennies on the dollar and those employees also have senior executives taking credit for their work... the old gentleman overseeing HR made all females sign agreements to not even say hi or communicate in any way with the players. On game days you work 8:30 am-end of game. Only corporate sponsorship and higher ups had "blue badges" and sales team was treated like absolute garbage. It was like a call center. You make a sale and obnoxious sounds and tvs go off making the entire front office hate you. Absolutely terrible place. They thought a $10k pay raise to $40k/yr was so generous for the sales team when every other department made leaps and bounds more. When the sexual harassment scandal came out the only phone number was the sales team. We were berated, screamed at and insulted until they FINALLY told us to stop answering calls while no other department had to deal with any of it. Cynt was a God Send for that team but they continued to make promises to Star employees they wouldn't keep just to try and keep them. read more

As season ticket holders, we've always enjoyed the games. Always more fun when fans get little MAVS souvenir waiting on their seats.but tonight, our section 321 got ransacked by employees and non-season ticket holders. read more

I am a Mavs Fan For Life (MFFL). Its always a good time when in the AAC. The previous reviews are right - there really aren't any bad seats in this venue. You can sit in the 100's and have an amazing view or you can sit up in the nose bleeds and see the entire court. I applaud them for their parking situation they have anything from open lots to garages that you can place your car. They also have a Jack Daniels full bar inside so if you want something other than the wine and beer that they serve at the concessions. For all of the good food - that will be located on the lower level. They have Philly cheese steaks which really aren't like..the BEST thing ever but they are better than a $9 hot-dog. So pick your poison. They open the doors at least an hour before tip-off so you can stroll around if you choose. We love the Mavericks and try to attend as many home games as possible to show them our support! Xo. read more

Yowser. Has it REALLY been 32 years since Donald Carter brought NBA basketball to Big 'D'. Holy crap I'm getting old! I have to admit that being a long time Maverick's fan since being a boy growing up in Richardson - it has NOT been easy; - early growing pains of an expansion Team, - the Kiki Vandeweghe 'snub' of 1980 (I still freaking hate that guy), - Roy Tarpley's repeated abuse of drugs and of the Mav's 'disciplinary program', - the 'Dark Ages' of the '90's (no playoff appearances) vs. the 'quick success' of The Stars (hockey) - in comparison, - trading Steve Nash in 2004, - losing to the Miami Heat in 2006 NBA Finals (after leading 2-0) I thought we were THERE in 1998 winning the Western Conference Finals in 1988 (Mark Aguirre, Brad Davis, Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper, Sam Perkins and Detlef Schrempf). Now, in 2011, the Mavericks have finally won the big one - AND while Donald Carter was still around to see it. It was great to also get a ring for J Kid and Dirk Diggler, led by 27 points by J. Terry. To top it off, Mark Cuban did it with class. Totally. Freaking. Awesome! read more

I always likened my Mavs to a girl that breaks your heart, but you always go back to her. Then in 2011, she grew up, got wiser, dug deep for heart that was always there, and with some sweet German engineering finally got you that ring. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AND NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM US. read more

Dallas Mavericks - Nike dirk ad - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Best. Team. Ever. Haters be gone! Everyone said the Mavs would never win the big one with Dirk and Mark Cuban involved in the franchise, and they can now eat their words nice and rare with a side of french-fried guilt. I've been a fan since I was 11 years old and living in upstate New York. My dad told me about this tall white guy who could shoot 3's and was making waves in the NBA. It didn't take long for my mood to start being dictated whether the Mavs won or lost and I saved every newspaper box score in a scrapbook. I've stuck with them throughout the roller-coaster ride. I've stayed strong even when I lived in LA, surrounded by taunting Laker fans (I even painted myself and brought a sign to a Clippers game once). I've experienced the worst things a sports fan can experience in 2006, 2007 and other years. But the ultimate relief came this year, and I cherish the fact I was able to sit in the sixth row for the Western Conference Finals opener and was able to bask in the glory with thousands of other fans at the AAC in the championship-clinching Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Add the fact I've high-fived Dirk twice (once in L.A., once in Dallas), and it's safe to say my sports fan life is complete. MFFL!!! read more

Coming from a die hard Houston Rockets fan it was hard to cheer for a hated rival, but at the end of the day it was the lesser of the 2 evils. Since the day Lebron made his decision, I became a Lebron hater. So when it was the western conference finals, I totally was cheering for Durant and the thunder to win so I could cheer for my fellow longhorn, but after the mavs pulled those crazy comebacks against them I was starting to be a fan. Then when it was the mavs vs the lamebrons, it was no thinking about it, gotta rep TEXAS, first. After the finals, I got mad props for Dirk, and even CUBAN, calmed down. Congrats. You guys deserved it. read more

Dallas Mavericks is truly my favorite team and win or lose it is always a great experience. The Mavericks are a great NBA team and I try to go to a few games in a season since there is so many. You could sit anywhere at the American Airlines Center and have a great view. The concession food stands have great options. I was surprised to see they even had a vegan option called Avo which had all dishes made from avocado. I never had problem getting into the game and never had to wait a long time outside to get in. The staff there is great. There is always great entertainment. If you are looking for anything to do, check out the Mavericks when they are playing. read more

The Mavs put on a great show, both on the court and when play isn't going on. Sadly my budget only allows for upper deck seats now...but that's ok. Look forward to my next Mavs game. read more

Love the venue, Love the team. Dirk is man. Tickets go from $10 bucks to too expensive for me even to consider. Get the unlimited soda with the keepsake cup for $9. read more

Dallas Mavericks - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I attend Dallas Mavericks games at least two or three times a season. Always a good time. They have a lot of food options, plenty of access to drinks, and the Hangar is always stocked with plenty of fan gear. I love that the facility is clean from the stands, to the halls, to the restrooms. They always keep the facility presentable. Seating is affordable and you can usually always find a good deal online for an even lower price than regular ticket value. They always give out free goodies and sometimes they have theme nights where they give out shirts, hats, bobble head dolls, etc. Get there early to take advantage of even more giveaways from sponsors and to enjoy the full Dallas Mavericks experience at the American Airlines Center. #MFFL read more

I saw the first comment complaining about California fans dissing the Mavs... and I somewhat agree, but then a lot of fans are guilty of that behavior. For my part I've been a Warriors fan since Chris Mullin, and a little bit before that. I have not swayed from that stance ever... but if I was tempted to do so, I'd have to go with the Mavs. You have a team that is really going places, and Luka Doncic just needs to have a few more players around him - although I feel all of the present players are stars. I really like this team, and I have always loved Jason Kidd... you guys are so close. I think it's inevitable, at least I hope so. I don't want to lose, but if we do, I want you guys to win. And I know you will. read more

Isn't if funny how all the bay area fans love to talk shit when they reached the playoffs in 2007? Golden State have been perennial bottom dwellers except for ONE successful season in a span of 17 years. So I guess that's reason to celebrate. Well, the Mavs have had 11 straight seasons of 50+ wins if you count this year. We haven't had problems WINNING. And how sad is it that you have to rate another team just so fans start talking noise because of one series? Sigh, Cali folks.. Are we rating the team or the fans? If we're talking fans why is our house consistently packed where you struggle to give your tickets away? Enough said. The Mavs might have not won a championship in their short existence, but we have an owner that's willing to spend and take risks in order to get to the next level. Have we gotten there yet? Nope, but we're close and Cuban's not going to quit until we get to the Promise Land. Once we're there, we'll never look back. Run and tell that, homeboy. read more

Had a really fun time watching the Mavericks play the Bulls. I hadn't been to a game in years. The seats were reasonably comfortable and the staff was very friendly. The center scoreboard/TV was amazingly clear and the dancers, drummers and other entertainers were fun to watch. Very family friendly experience. read more

Dallas Mavericks - B'ball - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I love my Mavs, but until they trade off Devin Harris, they only deserve 3 stars. They lost to Miami 2 years ago because of him, and lost to GS in round 1 last year because of him. He is a ballhogging, crap PG and needs to learn that he needs to create plays that involve other players on the team aside from himself. Edited and up to 5 stars! Devin Harris is gone, NBA Championship with Jason Kidd, here we come! read more

I've been a huge fan of the Mavericks since the Finley, Nash, Nowitzki days (I dominated NBA Street back in the early Aughts using that epic 3 man team). As a Boston Celtics fan, I detest the Lakers, and I've always considered the Mavericks my west coast team...the team most likely to knock off my hated Lakers. There were a few rough years there right after Nash left, where they didn't perform at the level I was used to, but duuuuudes, am I lovin' the Mavericks right now!!! Game three last night was epic. These guys are playing their hearts out and are one game away from sweeping the defending champs. I love it. Dirk has, what, like 13 consecutive games with 20+ points in the playoffs? Easily one of my favorite players in the league. I love a big guy who can shoot. Gasol has no clue how to defend him. Jason Terry has to be one of the best players coming off the bench right now. Watching the Celtics lose to the Heat the last two games, I'm asking myself why on earth they traded Nate Robinson, another great sixth man. Then there's Jason Kidd...he's always amazing to watch. What a playmaker. The speed on some of those passes last night was insane. He's always reminded me of Isaiah Thomas a little bit, one of my childhood heroes of the game. Thank goodness they've built another amazing team. I can't end the review without mentioning Mark Cuban, who is certainly my favorite owner in the league. Sure, he stirs the pot, but I love that he's willing to say what needs said to get results. And if you've got the money to pay the fines, why not? I loved when he worked a Dairy Queen for a day after remarks from one of the officials...haha. Excellent rebuttal, Mark, excellent. read more

What's with all the pathetic California residents writing bad "reviews" in an attempt to insult the Mavs? What a sad life you must lead. Truth be told, Laker fans are the quickest to turn on their own when you suffer a loss. I can't tell you how many times my Laker friends demand player trades when someone has an off night. Sad indeed. Back to the Dallas Mavericks. The Experience: Mavs games are fun and exciting. It's good entertainment for a wide demographic of people. Families can feel safe taking their kids to the games. Singles can enjoy the scene of hanging out at the Old #7 club after a game. Sure, some games are better than others depending on the opponent, but overall I've always had fun watching the Mavs play. The Team: The Mavs are probably the best NBA team to have never won a championship. Their day is coming. The faithful Mavs fans will continue to be patient and continue our support. Dirk and Kidd will be future Hall of Famers. The players in general keep out of trouble and represent the organization well. No one has ever been accused of rape (Kobe), been accused of being a Diva (LeBron) or ever been taken down by a Kardashian. read more

I don't think there is anyway the championship could have been sweeter-Dirk gets his ring,revenge on the Heat,beating the "Rock Stars" of the NBA,exhibiting a true team dynamic(the rest of the team picking up the slack for Dirk for three quarters last night). It was just an all around great season from a team that had great chemistry and never counted themselves out-no matter what the prevailing thoughts of the sports pundits. Congratulations on a season that almost no one who wasn't in the locker room could see coming. It has been a great season to be a Mavs fan and my family had many a great night watching games this season. Congrats to Dirk,Kidd,Terry,Chandler,Marion, and the rest of the crew for giving Dallas a champion they can feel proud of. read more

I'm not a huge b-ball fan, but I had the opportunity to check out a Mav's game the other day and it was a good time. I was seeing if anyone else had yelped the Mavs when I came across this obviously riculous slam by a bunch of non-Big D peeps (read: trash talkers) and thought I should give them a decent rating bc one star is a bunch of nonsense - even if they did loose the night I was there. If you ever end up on the Admiral suite level -- take advantage of the free chair massage - it was awesome. The dessert cart also offers some deliciousness. Chocolate shot glasses with baileys, amaretto, etc. Yum. read more

I don't get how the city of Dallas can be such rabid football fans and such fairweather basketball fans. They have a great owner in Mark Cuban. He loves his teams, treats them well, and yet the fans don't reciprocate. There's no comparison to Dub-Nation, with the best fans in the world, but it was sad to go to a game and have the Mavs play well and have the arena packed, but silent. Booing a team that won 67 regular season games in the first game of the playoffs showed their true colors. I'll give it up to Cuban as being a good and passionate owner, but the man annoys me and is obnoxious. The team chokes and the fans don't seem to have their heart in it. read more

Love the Mavs! I got to go to Game 5 of the NBA Finals last night. It was awesome. Everyone was so excited. I have never been to a game that everyone was so into and stood for so much of the game. Very fun. I was definitely a fan before but my fandom even increased by getting to be part of such a cool game. Go Mavs! Beat the Heat! read more

I LOVE YOU DIRK and SAMUEL!!!!! Okay, I had to get that out of the way. I can't help but love the Dallas Mavericks and Mark Cuban unconditionally, and let me tell you why. Not only do I consider them the best team in the NBA no matter what, but they are also the most amazingly giving team I've ever had to privilege to work with. Part of my job and love is working with various organizations in the city that focus on kids, especially kids that are food and housing insecure. It has never failed that I've seen donations from the players or them actually involved in events that make these beautiful children's faces just light up with glee. My latest experience was chaperoning this year's Turkey Dunk benefiting the kids with Rainbow Days. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was seeing the players interact with the kids. They genuinely had fun and really helped the ones that were really shy relax and get the full experience. All of the players were just so supportive and were so nice to everyone. The level of humility, even from Rick Carlisle himself was awesome. Some of the boys were super excited to be able to talk game plays with him. So yeah, of course the Mavericks are automatically my favorite team due to me cheering them on since the early 80's when their uniforms were that really awesomely awful green while growing up, but as an adult they are my favorite due to what they accomplish on and off the court. read more

I remember the days when Dallas Mavericks were an automatic win on the schedule. Great owner. Dirk is the best player in the franchise's history. Nice arena off the downtown. Mavs got it going on there in Dallas. read more

I had a blast at the Mavs game. They did everything right. There was constant action which I love. Besides the game being close and exciting and the team itself having incredible talent, the supporting media and host were outstanding. There was never a dull moment. This is how I used to feel at hockey games.... Just grinning ear to ear the whole time. I loved the creative video clips, crowd participation and the music. I want a playlist!! I think my love for basketball has been ignited again. read more

I love the walk from the parking lot into the stadium. When you enter the people are so nice. The ease to walk around and find everything was wonderful. You have several choices of food, snacks and drinks. It's a little bit pricy, it that's they way stadium food is. I really did like the guy that served drinks while you are seated. He was super nice. He kept coming by to check on us!! read more

Coming to see the Mavs play is always a fun experience. There really are no bad seats in the arena even up in the rafters you can watch the bigscreens over center court.

Couldn't be more proud of our NBA team. The spirit, heart, and talent they bring to the table is something that can't be described or seen, but only felt. What they have done for Dallas speaks volumes in our now our civic pride, identity, and camaraderie. Not to mention, the games (Finals or not) are an unbelievable experience - they know how to keep their fans entertained and so happy that they hail from the Big D. From J.J. and the Jet to Dirk and the veteran, Jason Kidd, this team is a force to be reckon with. But more importantly, a team that reflects integrity and years of hard work that was finally rewarded tonight. Championship or not, this Maverick team is unforgettable. read more
