A Sneak Peek Into ‘The Star’

[TexasTowelie]

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.

Up until this point, The Star, for many of us employees, has been a pretty ambiguous picture of a miniature city and something of a football fanatic’s paradise or version of Disneyland. Currently under construction in Frisco, Texas, I hadn’t given our new headquarters much thought, as summer 2016 – our targeted move date – seems so far away. But that changed after our Tuesday gathering.

What’s coming to Frisco, Texas is a never-been-done-before partnership between a professional sports team, a city and a school district wherein everybody plays and everybody wins. The 91-acre plot of land will be home to not only our corporate office building and practice fields, but also a state-of-the art dual event center and football stadium, an “entertainment district” lined with restaurants and shops, a hotel, a medical center and so much more. It will be an incredible resource for the City of Frisco and its residents, for all students of Frisco Independent School District, athletes and non-athletes alike, and really, for any individual that has ever loved, or even kind of liked, football.
