So some of you think this fancy facility will lure a FA into coming here? The only thing luring a FA is the highest bidder.

See... There's this search engine called, Google. I hear it's pretty good.

Aren't you the built in zone googler?

True but what happens with the bids are narrow apart? lol

Frisco in now home to the Dallas Stars practice facility, Dallas Cowboys practice facility, Texas Legends (Dallas Mavericks D-League team), and the Frisco RoughRiders (Texas Rangers Double A Affiliate).

Frisco is taking over the Dallas area.

Yea, and the site really suffers during those 15-mins a day you're away "working".

Here's what I believe. There are any number of ways you can lure a FA to your team. One of them is by having a top-notch practice facility. For a franchise like the Cowboys, you shouldn't have to practice at a high school in order to practice indoors. I was reading an article that the infrastructure of Valley Ranch is severely outdated. That makes renovating it cost prohibitive.

I agree. I don't think a player will take 1 or 2 mill less based on a practice facility but I do think as FA visit teams and the offer is close that it can make a difference

That & the "party bus."

Just get another SB trophy Jerry. That would be better than any bling you can build.

Frisco is about 35 miles from Dallas. That's a short commute.

The town is 25 miles north of Dallas and the facility is a few miles south on the North Dallas Tollway.

Most of the players live up that way anyway.

Looks like the makings of a soft and cushy team. Just sayin.

Have you ever sen the Oregon Ducks facility?????

very true. the best way, besides money to lure free agents is winning. but having a first class facilty sure does'nt hurt

WHERE in Frisco?

somewhere in the middle

Alabama would have been a better reference, since Oregon is, inherently, a softer team.

You're right, but I think that's a bad example lol

I agree. Facility alone is not going to get a guy signed and I doubt that was the reason of building this facility. I think it is important in Jerry mind to have a first class facilities when it comes to America team. people can call it ego but hell if I'm a player I like the fact that I play in a 1st class state of the art stadium and my workout facilities are just as impressive. Let the other owners stick their teams in cow pastures if they want but I give Jerry a big thumbs up for giving this franchise the best.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Those are nice. However, who is going to pay the bills? Is it Jerry or are they going to increases taxes on the community?
