Calling Plano "20 miles north of Dallas" is one of those things that's technically accurate, but spiritually misses the point.

That's not going to hurt their following one bit. From where that arena's going, you have another 20 miles before you're in the country, and those northern 'burbs are full of transplants from points north.

I think they are trying for what the Florida panthers have done and been wildly successful at. It seems like the players love living out together in some expensive subdivision away from the city and really these mega cities are so large the teams can still fill an arena every night away from a downtown.
