It’s very rare for such a wide array of Cowboys employees – from sponsorship sales and marketing gurus to legal experts and DallasCowboys.com reporters – to gather in one room at Valley Ranch, but that’s exactly what we did on Tuesday morning. We were invited to learn more about our future home – the future headquarters and world-class training facility of the Dallas Cowboys, officially named The Star.

Wow, maybe I'll visit it sooner, Frisco is about 50+ miles or more from Arlington, so I dont know how far along they are. I wasn't even suer if they broke ground yet.

Actually about 40 miles, but 50 minute drive.
And they did break ground, there was an article on in, not quite a year ago. But not sure of that.

Not a lot of parking for the high school games that are supposed to be held there.

The 2nd picture in the article shows 2 pretty large parking garages and I'm sure there will be more parking close by. I can't imagine they would need much more for only a 12000 capacity stadium. Actually, I don't even think Jerry world has enough parking spots for the 90k+ fans lol.

The corporate headquarters building will house our own Cowboys employee offices, but a significant portion will be LEASED for other businesses to have office space overlooking the team’s practice field.

Guess we know where the Pats' new media company will be located!

Cant wait to see the draft handled from the Star, should be much more high tech and bigger than what they are in now. Class of the NFL...

It's difficult to envision this place in its real context. The parcel butts up to the service road for south bound Dallas North Tollway. I suspect the avenue at the bottom of the Cowboys grounds is Warren. Which means behind the long office building on the grounds would back up to the tollway.

Oddly enough I got transferred to a facility and am working in Frisco. I work in a building on Internet Street, with is the crossroads in the lower left of the Cowboys parcel. I saw the construction, but wasn't very curious until one day I was sitting at the red light at the service road and Warren. I looked over and saw the Star on a sign. I read the sign and said "No shate?"

I can see this from the offices where I work. It's a pile of dirt and cranes at the moment.
