Toyota Stadium in Frisco to Undergo Multi-Million Dollar Renovation
Approval of $182 million deal will transform home of MLS' FC Dallas
Posted On: September 18, 2024 By :The Frisco City Council has approved a $182 million public-private partnership with FC Dallas to renovate the nearly 20-year-old stadium Toyota Stadium, Major League Soccer’s third oldest soccer-specific venue and home of FC Dallas.
Renovations will include three new clubs, renovated north, east and west entrances and a roof structure that will help provide shade for guests throughout the venue during the summer months.
“When Toyota Stadium opened in 2005, it was a state-of-the-art facility that was ahead of its time and the stadium’s success has helped pave the way for dozens of other soccer-specific stadiums across the country,” FC Dallas Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Clark Hunt said. “Today, we are delighted to announce these renovations which will modernize the stadium and elevate the fan experience, once again establishing Toyota Stadium as one of the premier facilities in Major League Soccer.”
Amenities will also include additional concession stands and a larger menu, expanded seating, two additional suite levels, improved accessibility, more restrooms and the largest video board in MLS in a soccer-specific venue, measuring at 6,000 square feet.
The construction will be carried out in phases, with work on the east side of the stadium slated to begin after the FCS Championship game on January 6, 2025. The west side of the stadium will remain operational during the 2025 MLS season and FC Dallas plans to continue hosting MLS matches at Toyota Stadium throughout the renovation process. The entire stadium will reopen in 2028.
