Colorado 2-2 Stars close to new arena deal DALLAS (AP) — The deal to' build a $230 million basketball and hockey arena in downtown Dallas ( calls for the current arena to be torn down a year after its replace ment opens. The new arena deal was an nounced Friday with the city offer ing $110 million for the arena and up to $15 million in infrastructure. The teams will put up $105 million for the new building and will be re sponsible for cost overruns. Don Hicks, who owns the Dallas Stars, and Ross Perot Jr., who owns i the Dallas Mavericks, want a new , facility with luxury suites that will generate more revenue. The exact site has yet to be determined. But the demolition of Reunion Arena, on which the city still owes about $28 million, could draw ex tra public resistance to the new arena deal. f “You mean to tell me a building 18 years old can’t be reconstituted for some use or another?” former City Council member Jerry Banos 1 told The Dallas Morning News. “Seems stupid. They’d never doit in the private sector.” According to the letter of intent between the teams and the city, razing of Reunion Arena is certain. The only question is whethertlie city or the teams will bear thecost. The teams will pay only if Lot La parking lot between ReunionAre na and the Dallas ConventionCen- ter, is chosen for the new facility Mayor Ron Kirk has set a special City Council meeting for Mond: to consider the arena deal. Aeon: cil vote is scheduled on Wednesd: The council vote will be ora resolution setting the stage force Jan. 17 referendum on thefinar ing plan that will include high:: tourist taxes. The city plans to boost fit rental tax 5 percentage pointsa:! the hotel room tax 2 percent::; points. That would raise abo: $11.3 million a year.
