Dallas Cowboys Expand Frisco Facility With Major Training Upgrades

The Dallas Cowboys have placed their Frisco headquarters at the center of league discussion this week after releasing updated blueprints for an expansion of The Star training complex.

The move comes as NFL teams across the country prioritize player recovery tools following a season marked by soft-tissue injuries. Dallas officials see the project as a direct response to those trends and to competition from other clubs investing in similar infrastructure.

Construction would connect directly to the existing Cowboys practice fields along Cowboys Way in Frisco and include a new partnership with the city-run Frisco Athletic Center for shared youth programming. The team also referenced coordination with the Dallas Cowboys Youth Academy, which runs clinics at multiple North Texas parks.

Planned additions and timeline

Documents filed with Frisco planning officials show a $175 million budget covering a 68,000-square-foot recovery building, two new indoor fields, and upgraded hydrotherapy pools. Work is scheduled to start in September 2026 and finish by spring 2028. Team records indicate the current facility supports 90 players and 35 staff members daily during the season.

Local economic reports project the expansion will add 120 construction jobs and generate $4.2 million in annual property-tax revenue for Frisco once complete. The project also includes a public plaza along Gaylord Parkway open to residents outside team hours.

Next steps for fans and partners

Season-ticket holders will receive priority access to guided tours once the first phase opens in late 2027. Residents interested in youth programs can register through the Frisco Athletic Center website beginning in August. Updated cost and scheduling information will appear on the team’s official site after the next city council review on July 28.
