FC Dallas' Toyota Stadium Getting $39M In Improvements As Part Of Soccer HOF Deal

The U.S. Soccer Federation is "partnering with FC Dallas" to bring its National Soccer HOF Museum to Toyota Stadium in Frisco, according to Valerie Wigglesworth of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS. Tuesday night’s approval by the Frisco school board was the "last of four votes needed" to fund $39M worth of improvements for the stadium, some of which "were required to accommodate" the HOF's move. The HOF is "expected to be part of a newly constructed second level of the stadium located above the south end zone." Other improvements to the 10-year-old stadium are "designed to better accommodate" the FCS title game, which will be in Frisco in January for the sixth year. Those upgrades "include two 100-person locker rooms, more restrooms, more concession stands, a team store, a suite-level expansion and better audiovisual technology." The USSF and FC Dallas "have been in exclusive negotiations since December" to bring the HOF to Frisco (DALLASNEWS.com, 9/30).
