Tom Hicks, the Texas businessman who owned two pro sports franchises in the Dallas area, as well as an English Premier League soccer team, died Saturday, Dec. 6, at the age of 79.
Hicks died peacefully in Dallas, surrounded by family, a spokesperson said in a press release on Sunday.
As the owner of MLB’s Texas Rangers, Hicks signed shortstop Alex Rodriguez to what was then the largest contract in baseball history − a 10-year, $252 million deal at the 2000 Winter Meetings − one that wouldn’t be surpassed until Giancarlo Stanton’s 13-year, $325 million pact with the Miami Marlins 15 years later.
Hicks owned the Rangers from 1998 to 2010 as they won three division titles and appeared in the 2010 World Series.
Three years earlier, Hicks purchased the Dallas Stars of the NHL, owning them from 1995 to 2011 and winning a Stanley Cup in 1999.
“Our franchise would not be in the position we are today without the ownership of Mr. Hicks,” the team said in a statement. “His legacy will be honored by our franchise for decades to come.”
Hicks expanded his sports empire into the world of seccer in 2007, when he acquired a 50% stake in Liverpool of the EPL.
He also served on the University of Texas’s board of regents from 1994 to 1999.
With two wins in a row after their defeat in New York, the Dallas Stars have continued good early season form.
The Stars will look to keep their momentum when they will host the Pittsburgh Penguins at home on Sunday afternoon.

DALLAS – The 2026 FIFA World Cup teams playing at Dallas Stadium have been revealed. If you’re looking for tickets, here’s what you need to know.
According to FIFA, nearly two million tickets have already been sold. However, the FIFA Marketplace is temporarily closed.
What’s next:
The next phase of ticket sales for the FIFA World Cup 2026 – the Random Selection Draw – will begin on Dec. 11, with the entry period for fans open until Jan. 13. This marks the third phase of ticket sales for the 2026 tournament. The Visa Presale Draw and the Early Ticket Draw closed in November.
What you can do:
To apply for the Random Selection Draw, you can visit FIFA’s ticket website starting Dec. 11, register for a FIFA ID, then be able to apply for tickets to specific matches.
In February, FIFA will randomly select applicants and let them know if they will get all or some of the tickets they applied for.
The final phase is in the spring, when “last-minute sales” will be available to the general public. It’s not clear how many tickets will be sold in this phase, or whether all matches will be available.
By the numbers:
FIFA announced initial ticket prices of $60-$6,730, saying they would be dynamic, up from $25-$475 for the 1994 tournament in the United States. It has refused to release a complete list of prices, as it had for every other World Cup since at least 1990. The governing body also is selling parking passes for up to $175 for a single match, a semifinal in Arlington, Texas.
The first 2026 FIFA World Cup game to be hosted at Dallas Stadium will be played on June 14.
Dallas Stadium’s full match schedule is as follows:
