The first-ever Republican Midterm Convention is coming to the American Airlines Center next week. Downtown Dallas businesses and residents are getting ready for increased security measures in the area.
Victory Avenue, North Houston Street, Nowitzki Way, Payne Street, and North Field Street will be closed around the arena from September 7th until midnight on the 11th. DART’s Victory Park station will also be closed, and Uber and Lyft rideshares won’t be allowed in the “secure zone.”
City officials estimate it will cost 1.8 million dollars for police to provide security for the event on September 9th and 10th.
