Any "Ted Lasso" fans in the chat? Football is life — and for soccer fans in Dallas, Toyota Stadium has been playing center field for the last two decades.

On Sept. 17, 2024, the stadium's future changed forever when Frisco City Council unanimously approved a $182 million public-private partnership with the Hunt family to turn the stadium into a mixed-use sports and entertainment district.

The stadium, built in 2005 and owned by the city of Frisco, hosts a variety of events, including:

Major League Soccer FC Dallas soccer games
The annual Frisco Bowl
The annual NCAA Division I Football Championship
Frisco Independent School District football games

The stadium and surrounding city have come a long way since 2005. | FC Dallas

2005: The 20,500-seat stadium opened its doors in August for the first match: FC Dallas vs. the NY/NJ MetroStars (now New York Red Bulls), and has been home to Dallas’ lone professional soccer team, FC Dallas, ever since.
2013: The venue, originally called the Frisco Soccer & Entertainment Complex officially adopted the name Toyota Stadium.
2016: FC Dallas and the city of Frisco struck a deal to bring the National Soccer Hall of Fame (home to Abby Wambach and Mia Hamm) to the stadium’s south end in a $55 million renovation.
2018: The Hall of Fame was unveiled, along with new locker rooms and two new club spaces underneath the Hall of Fame area.
