The Hang Theory. A lecture series by Hang Dallas.One speaker. One big idea. One good room.Where · 2700 SWISS Event Space.On November 3, Plano voters rejected Proposition A, the venue tax package that would have helped fund a city-owned arena for the Dallas Stars at the Shops at Willow Bend. The Stars and Mavericks both have leases ending at American Airlines Center in 2031, both teams have plans to leave downtown, and Dallas City Council members are now pitching to keep the Stars. Dr. Bob Heere walks through why cities pay for arenas, what they actually get back, what Plano voters were asked to approve and why they said no, what teams want from a suburban sports district, and what downtown Dallas looks like if American Airlines Center empties in 2031. An explanation for a general audience, not advocacy for or against the Plano deal.How the night goesDoors at 6:00 PM. Come early, grab a drink and something to eat, settle in.Bob takes the floor at 7:00 PM.Questions from the room near 7:45 PM.Afterward, stay for a glass of wine with Bob. The best conversations happen then.
