Reunion Arena was completed in 1980 at a cost of $27 million.[1] It was named for the early mid-nineteenth century commune, La Reunion. In late 2005, the arena and the Dallas Convention Center were used as the primary Dallas shelters for evacuees of Hurricane Katrina.
The arena also continues to host numerous concerts and other events. The arena features 30,000 ft² (2,790 m²) of arena floor space and has great sightlines, making it ideal for a number of events and games, including many high school graduations.
The arena was home to the MISL Dallas Sidekicks, but the club has been inactive since the Fall of 2004 season. The arena was the home of the Dallas Mavericks from 1980 to 2001 and the Dallas Stars from 1993 to 2001. Both teams moved to the American Airlines Center in 2001.
