The City of Cedar Park broke ground June 10 on a $55 million event center located at the northwest corner of Toll 183A and New Hope Drive.
The facility will be the home of the Texas Stars Hockey Club, which will serve as the primary development affiliate of the NHL's Dallas Stars.
"The Cedar Park Event Center is truly going to be a lifestyle project where the community and tourists can gather for first class entertainment," says Cedar Park Mayor Bob Lemon. "We expect this facility to enhance the quality of life for our residents and spin off new economic development for the city and region."
The 6,800-seat facility will also be used for a multitude of different events, including concerts, other sporting events like basketball, tennis and boxing, ice shows and community events like graduations, meeting and banquets.
"The Dallas Stars are thrilled about bringing the Texas Stars to Cedar Park," said Dallas Stars co-General Manager Brett Hull. "It's a natural fit and one we think will be great for the fans. There are a lot of hockey fans in this area of the state and we look forward to giving them a product they will enjoy following."
Construction is expected to take 16 months, and should be completed in September 2009.
