June Event - Tour
American Airlines Center
Opened in 2002, the American Airlines Center (AAC) was designed by David M. Schwarz/Architectural Services, Inc. and HKS Inc. The team combined architecture and technology to give Dallas a beautiful, fan friendly venue with lots of high-tech touches. From its sweeping signature arches to the retractable seating, American Airlines Center's unique features single it out as a premier sports and entertainment venue in the country. The "All Access Experience Tour" of the AAC gives you the opportunity to go behind the scenes and get an insider's view of the inner workings of this fast paced industry.
The AAC Tour offers an educational and interactive experience. We will begin in the Bowl where little known facts are revealed such as Building Logistics and Event Conversion. Then it's off to the Event Level, where the magic begins. You will visit the Platinum Club, a Luxury Suite, Party Rooms, as well as other locations in the Building.
The tour begins at noon and is open to all IIE members, co-workers, friends and family.
