The concept, simply called Nowitzki, is expected to open Summer 2023 and located in Terminal C. The new addition to the airport was approved during Thursday’s board meeting.
DFW Airport shared the announcement on Twitter.
When Dirk Nowitzki arrived in Dallas, no one had ever seen a game like his. The Big German made it legendary.

Nowitzki will feature a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu and a selection of cocktails and beer. Some of the menu items, like the chicken schnitzel and bratwurst, are a nod to Nowitzki’s German heritage.
The former Dallas Mavericks player, who retired his No. 41 jersey in January, set a record for most seasons with a single team. He played 21 seasons with the Mavericks and leads the franchise with most games played.
