Frisco adds $9.26 million for Toyota Stadium renovations

Frisco is putting another $9.26 million into Toyota Stadium, a fresh public-private commitment that pays for seating-bowl repairs and Wi-Fi upgrades while pushing the stadium’s overall renovation tab to about $191.26 million.

Frisco City Council unanimously approved the agreement on April 21, with the money flowing through the Frisco Community Development Corporation. About $5.46 million will come from the public side and about $3.81 million from the stadium side, after city documents said additional seating-bowl issues surfaced during construction and needed to be fixed.

The latest approval is not a separate project so much as a change inside the wider overhaul that council backed in September 2024. That package, approved as a partnership involving the City of Frisco, the Hunt family, Frisco Independent School District and the Frisco Community Development Corporation, was set at up to $182 million. Add the new $9.26 million agreement, and the renovation total rises to roughly $191.26 million.

For residents asking what comes back for the money, the answer is more than patchwork repair. The broader renovation plan includes more than 3,400 additional seats, a shaded seating structure, upgrades to club and luxury suites, and new broadcast booth and press box areas. Construction began in 2025, and the full project is expected to be finished in early 2028.

Toyota Stadium opened Aug. 6, 2005, and FC Dallas has long promoted it as one of Major League Soccer’s early purpose-built soccer venues. The club says it has hosted U.S. Men’s and Women’s national team matches, Concacaf Gold Cup games, U.S. Women’s World Cup qualifying, a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final and Dallas Cup championship matches, all of which help explain why Frisco keeps betting on the site as a civic and economic asset.

That international role is expanding again with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Frisco was formally designated in April as Sweden’s team base camp training site, with Toyota Stadium serving as the training facility and the nearby Westin Stonebriar Golf Resort and Spa handling the team’s stay between games. Sweden earned its place in the tournament by beating Poland 3-2 in UEFA playoff action on March 31, giving the stadium another global spotlight just as its renovation bill keeps climbing.
