I would guess both areas get something casino related built if laws change especially since the Mavs have skin in the game in both areas plus there's a lot of Jones' money up there around The Star. I would still assume any new arena is in the city but who knows.
The more accessible place to build something out would be around the new PGA HQ where Frisco meets Prosper. I just stopped by there while I was in town for Thanksgiving and that whole place is just wild.
The biggest loser in all of this is probably the citizens of Oklahoma and Louisiana long term. Those are the groups that have been holding back this legislation for so long and I think they're finally outgunned here.
I've been away from DFW-proper for a while now. Is the Trinity River bottoms on the north side of Arlington available for development? That would give some proximity to the other main sports venues and access to the entertainment and shopping districts that have developed there.
I'm just hoping they don't move to LV. A marquee talent like Luka could make that worthwhile.
