This is the same venue that in which the NBA's Dallas Mavericks play their home games. So Business Insider reached out to the basketball team's owner, Mark Cuban, to find out if would be attending.

The outspoken investor said he would be filming another episode of "Shark Tank" at the same time. However, he predicted Trump would bring down the house at his home arena.

"I can't be there," Cuban wrote through his Cyber Dust social media app. "But I have no doubt he will kill it in Texas."

Cuban frequently weighs on Trump's presidential campaign on Cyber Dust, once even praising it as "probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long long time."

He has also opined at length about how there's one word that sums up Trump - "killer" - and speculated on how he would respond if Trump, a fellow billionaire, asked him to be his vice president.

Cuban told Business Insider on Friday that much of the feedback he has received from Mavericks fans has been pro-Trump. Cuban suggested that Republican businessman's brashness and drive has some natural appeal in Texas.

"People aren't concerned with his policies at this point. They think ... they will evolve," Cuban wrote. "They love that he is shaking things up. There is nothing more Texan than being confident and entrepreneurial. That's the sense I get."
