The City of Frisco, the Frisco Independent School District (FISD) and the Dallas Cowboys are one step closer to \u2018moving dirt\u2019 and beginning construction of the team\u2019s new world headquarters and the city multi-use event center in Frisco, Texas.<\/p>\n
The mobilization of site preparation crews begins June 25 on the 91 acres of land at the northwest corner of Warren Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway (DNT).<\/p>\n
The City of Frisco issued a \u2018notice to proceed\u2019, allowing crews to begin the mobilization and site preparation process. As a result, engineers are surveying the site and crews are installing site \u2018fencing\u2019 to manage access and erosion. Equipment will start being delivered to the site, beginning tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The public-private partners have secured a construction team consisting of Gensler, Manhattan Construction Company, Kimley Horn and Alliance Geotechnical Group that will work in a coordinated effort once construction begins.<\/p>\n
Mass excavation is scheduled to begin the week of July 7. A ceremonial \u2018ground breaking\u2019 event will be scheduled in August; however, no exact date has been set. The City of Frisco, FISD and the Dallas Cowboys announced plans for the public-private development August 13, 2013.<\/p>\n
The Dallas Cowboys are planning the move to Frisco in fall 2016 from their current headquarters located in Irving, Texas, the team\u2019s training home since 1985.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re ecstatic to take this next step of allowing the site to be prepared for construction, which is one of many steps in the process,\u201d said Mayor Maher Maso. \u201cWe\u2019re dedicated to building a world class, quality development that will benefit our residents, inspire our students and captivate visitors from everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all eager to get the project underway,\u201d said Dr. Jeremy Lyon, Frisco ISD Superintendent of Schools. \u201cAs the bricks and mortar of the stadium are built, we are just as energetically building future opportunities for students with the Dallas Cowboys and the City of Frisco. That\u2019s the name of the game here!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter months in the meeting room it will be great to see tangible signs of movement toward what we all know is going to be a world class project,\u201d said Stephen Jones, Cowboys Chief Operating Officer. \u201cWe share the excitement of the citizens and students of Frisco.\u201d<\/p>\n
