HSG

HSG was formed in 1999 as a sports and entertainment holding company controlled by Thomas O. Hicks. Prior to the formation of HSG, Mr. Hicks acquired the Dallas Stars in 1996 and then acquired the Texas Rangers from the George W. Bush/Edward W. Rose partnership in 1998. HSG was formed to oversee the Hicks family’s sports teams, as well as the Hicks family’s sports-related real estate developments.

In a joint venture with an affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks, HSG owns a 50% stake in Center Operating Company, the group that manages and leases the American Airlines Center, which is home to the Dallas Stars and the Dallas Mavericks NBA team. Further, HSG operates Hicks Sports Marketing Group, an entity formed in 2006 to represent sports branding opportunities and corporate sponsorships for HSG, most notably for the Stars, the Rangers, and real estate projects related to Hicks’ sports venues. HSG has an interest in eight Dr Pepper StarCenter facilities, including the StarCenter in Frisco, Texas, that serves as the practice facility for the Dallas Stars, and owns approximately 40 acres surrounding the Dr. Pepper/7 Up Ballpark in Frisco, which is designated for future mixed-use development. In Arlington, HSG is involved in the development of over 100 acres, as an exciting mixed-use development focused on restaurants and entertainment, planned between the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
