Franchise history
The Minnesota North Stars were founded as an expansion team in 1967, playing their games at the newly-constructed Metropolitan Sports Center (the "Met Center") in Bloomington, adjacent to Metropolitan Stadium. By the early nineties, declining attendance and the inability to secure a new downtown, revenue-generating stadium led team owner Norm Green to move the team to Dallas's Reunion Arena. After moving to Dallas, the team was sold to Tom Hicks and a new arena, America Airlines Arena, was finished.
