Cowboys to open shiny new training facility “The Star” Thursday
Posted by Zac Jackson on July 20, 2016, 7:50 PM EDT
The Cowboys are ready to unpack the boxes and officially show off the new toys in their new training facility when it opens Thursday.
Everything’s bigger in Texas and with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and Jerry’s Other World comes at a reported price tag of $1.5 billion. It includes multiple practice fields, a hotel, club seating and a 12,000 seat indoor stadium.
The new facility in the suburb of Frisco has a fancy name, of course: The Star.
“Certainly [we have] so many tremendous, great memories at Valley Ranch,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “It’s no different than [the team’s move into] AT&T Stadium. You can’t live in the past. It’s a new day for our franchise.
“It was tough to leave that and all the great memories that happened there at Texas Stadium. The same thing holds for Valley Ranch. I think The Star and our new facility out at The Star will be special.”
The Cowboys return from their California training camp in mid-August, and from there the team’s day-to-day business will be handled at the new Frisco facility.
Jerry Jones has already hinted at wanting to host the NFL Draft and the annual NFL Scouting Combine in his new digs.
Work on the new facility began in 2014. The team operated out of its old Valley Ranch facility for 31 years.
