The partnership with the Cowboys couldn't have come at a better time for the Frisco Independent School District. The growing district opened its eighth high school last year and needed a third stadium to accommodate its football teams, which will get to play at The Star on Thursday and Friday nights. Teaming up with the Cowboys on the indoor stadium allowed the city to save about $500,000 a year in operating costs and between $10 million and $15 million in capital costs.
Frisco ISD also recently agreed to a multiyear, $1.74 million deal that will make Nike the sole uniform and equipment provider for all of its schools. Nike will have a branded gear shop and a track adjacent to the fitness center at The Star.
"It joins at the hip Friday night lights and the Dallas Cowboys," Jones said of the facility. "Literally, the quarterback at Frisco High School could be visiting with
Tony Romo or
Jason Witten or
Dez Bryant as they're walking off the practice field and he's getting ready for a ballgame."
