Manhattan Construction Group has been selected to lead the $182 million renovation of Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, a project approved by the Frisco City Council. The stadium, one of Major League Soccer’s oldest soccer-specific venues, will undergo a major overhaul to modernize its infrastructure and improve the guest experience. Designed by HKS Architects, the project includes a host of upgrades to create a world-class facility for FC Dallas and the community.
The renovation is slated to start in early 2025 and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2028. Key enhancements will include adding a new roof structure to provide shade, increasing seating capacity by 10%, and a 26% boost in restroom facilities. The project also focuses on adding two new suite levels, more concessions, and three new club spaces designed to cater to a growing fanbase. State-of-the-art sound and video systems, including the largest video board in MLS at 6,000 square feet, will further enhance the in-stadium experience.
This public-private partnership is backed by multiple funding sources: 44% will be covered by the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone revenue, 36% by the Hunt Sports Group, and 20% by the Frisco Community Development Corporation. The Hunt Sports Group will manage cost overruns, if any.
Construction will be executed in phases, starting with work on the stadium’s east side in early 2025. The west side will remain operational during the 2025 MLS season, with work shifting there by mid-2026. The entire project is expected to be fully finished by the start of Q1 in 2028. Despite the several stages of construction, Toyota Stadium will continue to host games and events throughout the entire process, ensuring minimal disruption to FC Dallas operations.
The renovations are part of a long-term vision to reestablish Toyota Stadium as one of the premier soccer venues in the country. Clark Hunt, CEO of FC Dallas, emphasizes the need to modernize and elevate the fan experience. Upon completion, the stadium will not only provide a more immersive experience for fans but also serve as a cornerstone for the local community, contributing to Frisco’s growing reputation as a hub for sports and entertainment.
