The Dallas City Council has approved a 15-year agreement with the Dallas Wings, allowing the WNBA team to move from College Park Center in Arlington to the Dallas Memorial Auditorium, which will undergo renovations as part of a larger development plan for the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. The move is expected to take place for the 2026 WNBA season, pending approval by the WNBA Board of Governors and the completion of planned renovations.

The Dallas Memorial Auditorium has a larger capacity than College Park Center, offering a more central location with easy access to public transportation. The agreement provides year-round use of the facilities for training and office space and includes $19 million in incentives paid by the city to the Wings over three years. Mayor Eric Johnson has emphasized the importance of attracting more sports franchises to the city as part of a larger revitalization plan.
