Ice Venue May Become Bob Knight Basketball Venture
DALLAS (AP) ―
A money-losing ice skating venue run by the Dallas Stars could end up in the hands of a youth sports venture bearing the name of Hall of Fame basketball coach Bob Knight.
The National Hockey League team owned by the financially strapped Tom Hicks failed in its bid last week to reduce the rent at one of several suburban Dallas facilities intended to boost the franchise's support.
Stars president Jeff Cogen said the team made another proposal to Duncanville officials Monday but declined to offer specifics. The City Council was poised to vote Tuesday to terminate the team's lease.
If the lease is voided, Duncanville could pursue a plan to convert the building into Bob Knight's Fieldhouse, a combination basketball-and-volleyball facility geared toward youth.
