"Texas' Rising Star - City of Frisco" - October 19, 2010
Site Texas attendees for this day of education enjoyed a hosted tour of many top attractions Frisco is renowned for, including the Dr Pepper ballpark, the Dr Pepper arena, Frisco Heritage Museum and Pizza Hut Park. The group was genuinely surprised and impressed at the array of venues available for programs as well as corporate hospitality, such as the popular annual Jimmy Buffett concert held at Pizza Hut Park. The day was rounded off with a cocktail reception at the wonderful One 2 One Restaurant & Bar adjacent to Stonebriar country club.
Frisco is located 20 minutes north of downtown Dallas, and 25 minutes from both Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Love Field. Frisco offers a wide variety of award-winning hotels, shopping, concerts and events, 4 professional sports teams, and over 150 pieces of art on public display.
The Dallas Stars call Frisco home, with their corporate official and official practice ice located adjacent to the mall. FC Dallas major league soccer play at Pizza Hut Park where a variety of concerts, football games and national and international soccer games also take place. The Frisco RoughRiders Affiliate of the Texas Rangers play at Dr Pepper Ballpark, and the NAHL Texas Tornado Hockey team and our new NBA D League team Texas Legends play at Dr Pepper Arena.

Art abounds in Frisco with over 100 pieces in Hall Office Park, including the Texas Sculpture Garden, and over 50 publicly owned sculptures throughout the City of Frisco as well.
