Frisco City Council gets a peek at Cowboys' HQ plans
The project is evolving, and a lot is expected to change before construction starts. The site plan shown Monday, for example, is the 57th version drafted. But the renderings and a brief video offered a sense of what architects, designers, planners and others envision.
The two outdoor practice fields will be reserved exclusively for the Cowboys, while the multi-use sports complex will be for a variety of events, including high school football games, marching band contests and Cowboy training camp.
Assistant City Manager Ron Patterson said talks continue on how the Frisco Independent School District would be involved with the complex beyond football. The district’s Career and Technical Education Center, for example, has students in catering, information technology and broadcasting who might benefit from access to the venue’s top-notch facilities.
Much of Monday’s meeting focused on the center of the development, tentatively called Cowboys Alley, which will feature retail, restaurants and places for pedestrians to gather as they head toward an outdoor plaza and the stadium’s main entrance. The planners hope to drive traffic to the area on days when there are no stadium events.
No date for construction has been set. The stadium, outdoor fields and Cowboys headquarters are scheduled to be completed in time for the 2016 football season.
