The 2010 NBA All-Star game will be played at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas, Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News is reporting.

An announcement is expected to come on Thursday when the Mavericks open their season.

Owner Mark Cuban has previously been against trying to get the game to Dallas because tickets would not be available to the team's season ticket holders, but in the 50,000 seat stadium that would no longer be an issue.
