It’s official: National Soccer Hall of Fame coming to Frisco
FRISCO, TEXAS -- It’s finally official. The U.S. Soccer Federation is partnering with FC Dallas to bring its National Soccer Hall of Fame Museum to Toyota Stadium.
Tuesday night’s approval by the Frisco ISD school board was the last of four votes needed to fund $39 million worth of improvements for the stadium, some of which were required to accommodate the Hall of Fame’s move. Also approving the deal were the Frisco City Council, the Frisco Economic Development Corporation and the Frisco Community Development Corporation.
FC Dallas spokeswoman Leigh Anne Gullett said Wednesday that they had hoped to make a big announcement. But the various public entities required to approve the funding for the deal had to include details as part of their public records.
The Hall of Fame is expected to be part of a newly constructed second level of the stadium located above the south end zone.
