It's official: the City of Frisco says, "Welcome Dallas Cowboys!"

The Frisco City Council just voted to approve the deal between the Frisco Community Development Corporation, the Frisco Economic Development Corporation and Blue Star Stadium Inc., Blue Star HQ Inc. and Blue Star Frisco LP, all companies recently formed and affiliated with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his family.

The Dallas Cowboys will move its world headquarters and practice facility from Valley Ranch to Frisco with an expected opening for the 2016 football season.

The new facility is expected to include indoor/outdoor practice facilities, a stadium to be shared with the Frisco ISD, hotels and a host of other new businesses.

Frisco is a Sporting Town

The city of Frisco is already home to FC Dallas!, the NBA D-League Texas Legends, the Texas Tornado Hockey Team, the Texas Rangers AA affiliate Frisco RoughRiders, and is the practice facility for the Dallas Stars.

Location

The Cowboy-owned facility will be housed on 91 acres at the corner of Warren Drive and the Dallas North Tollway in Frisco.
