Toyota Stadium is asoccer-specific stadium in thesouthernUnited States, located inFrisco, Texas, a suburb north ofDallas. Built and owned by the city of Frisco, the 20,500-seat stadium opened in 2005. Its primary tenants areMajor League Soccer clubFC Dallas,the United Football League'sDallas Renegades, and theFrisco Independent School District, which supported the construction to host theirhigh school football games. Additionally, it is the home of theNational Soccer Hall of Fame, which opened in 2018.[4]
Toyota Stadium was the thirdMLSsoccer-specific stadium to be built afterHistoric Crew Stadium inColumbus, Ohio (1999) andDignity Health Sports Park nearLos Angeles (2003). It cost approximately $80 million and opened on August 6, 2005, with a match between FC Dallas and theMetroStars, which ended in a 2–2 draw. The stadium seats 20,500 in a U-shaped design with the north end including a permanent covered stage for hosting concerts, similar toSeatGeek Stadium nearChicago, which opened one year after Toyota Stadium. Although it was then hoped the permanent stage would help the stadium increase revenue by hosting mid-sized concerts, the design proved unpopular and other MLS clubs rejected building permanent stages in their new stadiums, leaving the stadium's design looking dated. There is widespread support among club fans for the stage to be removed and replaced with a full stand in a future renovation. The stadium includes 18 luxury suites as well as a private 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) stadium club.
The stadium played host to the2005 MLS Cup final, seeing theLA Galaxy defeat theNew England Revolution 1–0 in extra time for their secondMLS Cup. It was also selected to host the2006 MLS Cup, which ended 1–1 after extra time with theHouston Dynamo defeating theNew England Revolution 4–3 onpenalty kicks. In 2016, FC Dallas hosted and won theU.S. Open Cup Final, also against the Revolution.
The complex also has an additional 17 regulation size, stadium-quality soccer fields (both grass and artificial turf) outside the main stadium. These fields are used for practice by FC Dallas, matches for the FC Dallas reserve squad, and for hosting soccer tournaments. Youth tournaments that have made use of the complex includeDallas Cup, Olympic Development Program National Championships, Generation adidas Cup,[5]USYSA National Championships, andMLS Next Cup.
From 2005 until January 2012, thenaming rights to the facility were held by national pizza chainPizza Hut, which is headquartered in nearbyPlano, and the stadium was known asPizza Hut Park. Nicknames for Pizza Hut Park included PHP, the Hut, and The Oven, the latter referring to Texas' summer climate during afternoon games (and also because the field is well below ground level). On January 7, 2012, the contract linking the pizza franchise with the stadium expired, and the stadium was renamed FC Dallas Stadium.[6]
On September 10, 2013, FC Dallas reached an agreement withGulf States Toyota Distributors, headquartered inHouston, to rename its home field Toyota Stadium. The 17 practice fields around the stadium would be known as Toyota Soccer Center.[7][8]
In 2018, Toyota Stadium completed a $55 million renovation of the south end of the stadium. Additions included new field access tunnels, locker rooms, a press conference room, team stores, and a multi-tiered viewing stand that replaced the old bleacher section. This also brought in a European-style roof built over the south end of the stadium.[9]
One of the more notable additions was theNational Soccer Hall of Fame, which included the National Soccer Hall of Fame Experience and the 19,350 square-foot National Soccer Hall of Fame Club. This addition made Toyota Stadium the first league sports hall of fame to be built within a stadium.
Even with the renovations, many club supporters wanted roof structures to be built over the west and east stands to provide shade during the brutal Texas summers. However, those projects were postponed until 2024, where the City of Frisco approved a larger renovation project addressing these issues.
On September 17, 2024, the City of Frisco approved a $182 million redevelopment project. Improvements include three new clubs, renovated stadium entrances, the removal of the north-end concert stage for supporter standing areas, the largest LED video board of any soccer-specific stadium in the nation, and architecturally distinctive European-style roof structures covering the east, west, and the majority of the north stands that will provide much-needed shade for supporters.
Part of the improvements will also include over 1.2 million square feet of office space, a 200-room upscale hotel, a 200-unit multifamily high-rise building, and 30,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
The construction will be carried out in phases, with work on the east side of the stadium slated to begin after theFCS Championship game in January 2025 and completed before the start of the 2028 FC Dallas season. The initial phase of development will see stadium capacity drop to about 11,000 seats.[10]
In addition to the renovation project, FC Dallas has signed a lease extension to keep the club in Frisco through 2057.[11]
In 2015, plans were announced that the stadium would be the new home of theNational Soccer Hall of Fame (NSHOF). In addition to the NSHOF museum, the stadium's south end received extensive renovations and the entire project cost $55 million and was completed in 2018. The Hall of Fame has two components – the NSHOF Experience and the NSHOF Club. The Experience houses the museum and serves as the location for the Hall of Fame annual induction ceremony. The Club includes specialty seating for season ticket holders for all FC Dallas home matches, as well as multiple event spaces that function as food and beverage hubs on game days. The NSHOF includes soccer memorabilia, modern technology, and virtual reality exhibits.[12]
In August 2008, the stadium hosted theheavy metal/hard rock festival tourOzzfest.[citation needed] It had regularly hosted concerts byJimmy Buffett. It was also the site for several editions of Edgefest organized by former Dallas alternative rock stationKDGE.[citation needed]
