The Comerica Center is a multi-purpose arena located in Frisco, Texas, at the corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Gaylord Ave. It is the home of the Texas Legends of the NBA G League, as well as the executive offices and practice facility of the National Hockey League's Dallas Stars. It previously served as the home of the Texas Tornado team of the North American Hockey League; the NAHL maintains its headquarters at the arena.
The arena is also used for concerts and other live entertainment events. It seats between 5,000 and 7,000 people and has a 2,100-vehicle parking garage.[1]
The arena's south parking lot has served as the Metroplex venue for some of Cirque du Soleil's Grand Chapiteau shows, while the arena itself has served as a Metroplex venue for its arena shows.
The Dr Pepper Snapple Group has held naming rights to the arena since it opened, but the arena was originally known as the Deja Blue Arena as Dr Pepper chose to promote its brand of bottled water before its name was changed to Dr Pepper Arena. Comerica Bank was named the new naming rights on January 18th of 2019.
The Comerica Center was the former home of the Frisco Thunder team of the Intense Football League. A Lone Star Football League team to be called the Frisco Falcons was announced for a spring 2012 start but collapsed before the season began.
The arena hosted the 2012 Robertson Cup Tournament to decide the champion of the NAHL, with the Texas Tornado ultimately winning the championship. It is the second time the venue has hosted the event. It also hosted the 2013 Robertson Cup with the Amarillo Bulls winning the championship.
The Texas Revolution of Champions Indoor Football[2] used the arena for its home games for the 2018 season.
On March 23–26, 2016, the Comerica Center hosted the NCAA Men's Division II Basketball Elite Eight, which was won by Augustana University of South Dakota.
On January 18, 2019, the Dallas Stars announced the new naming rights to the arena for their practice facility, executive offices, and 6,000 seat arena. The rights were bought out by Comerica Bank and now is called the Comerica Center.
The facility consists of the arena and a practice rink, which the Dallas Stars use for their practices.
