Frisco

Frisco, Texas 

The American state of Texas contains the city of Frisco in the Collin and Denton counties. Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport are both around 25 miles (40 km) apart from this area of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. According to the 2020 U.S. census, it has 200,509 residents. 

From 2000 to 2009, as well as in 2017, Frisco was the American city with the fastest growth. The northern DFW suburban development tide reached Plano's northern border in the late 1990s and overflowed into Frisco, igniting a period of explosive growth in the early 2000s. Like many other northern exurbs of Dallas, Frisco is a bedroom community for professionals who work in the DFW area. The National Arbor Day Foundation has designated Frisco as Tree City USA since 2003. 

According to the United States Census Bureau, the major cities are McKinney and Frisco, and the urban area includes northern Dallas-area suburbs that are independent from the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan region: According to the 2020 census, the McKinney-Frisco, Texas urban area had 504,803 residents, placing it 83rd in the nation.

This information comes from the United States Census Bureau. 

The humid subtropical region includes Frisco. 39 inches (990 mm) of precipitation fall on the city each year. There are 230 bright days on average each year. The low in January is 33 °F (1 °C), while the high in July is 96 °F (36 °C). A higher score indicates a more comfortable environment. The comfort index, which is based on humidity during the hot months, is 25 out of 100. 

Economy 

Stonebriar Centre, a 165-store regional mall, IKEA, a furniture retailer with a 28,800 m2 (310,000 sq ft) space, and The Star, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, are just a few of the numerous retail establishments in Frisco. One of the city's main north-south thoroughfares, Preston Road, is lined with shops and restaurants. 

In contrast to many of its neighboring communities, Frisco chose to finance the Frisco Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) with a small portion of its local sales tax rather than the regional transportation agency Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART). The efficiency of the FEDC, whose main goal is to redistribute such tax funds to commercial endeavors, is up for debate in the public. 

Together with the municipal hall, Frisco Square, a mixed-use complex, was transformed into the new downtown. Over 250 rental homes, seven restaurants, 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of commercial office space, and a few personal service locations may be found at Frisco Square. The project's new city hall, primary library, and public commons are its key developments. In 2010, a Cinemark cinema first opened. North of the theater, Medical City Plano-Frisco, a hospital, was constructed in 2012.

In time for the 2016 NFL football season, the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL) relocated their corporate offices to "The Star" in Frisco; the building complex opened in June 2016. Since it opened, Frisco ISD has hosted high school football games in the Ford Center, which was constructed in collaboration with Frisco ISD and funded with $30 million instead of a third football stadium that was specifically designated for that purpose. 

The Texas Revolution of Champions Indoor Football and the Frisco Thunder of the Intense Football League were two professional indoor football teams that had their home stadiums in Frisco in the past. 

The Frisco Fighters, an Indoor Football League expansion franchise, made their debut in 2020, hosting their home matches at Comerica Center. The team's first home game came on June 5, 2021, after the COVID-19 epidemic forced the cancellation of the Fighters' 2020 season. The Fighters secured a playoff spot in their inaugural season, making it as far as the IFL semifinal matchup against the Massachusetts Pirates, who would go on to win the 2021 United Bowl. 

The Comerica Center is the home of the Dallas Stars National Hockey League team, which has its headquarters in Frisco. Since the fall of 2003, the North American Hockey League's Texas Tornado has called Frisco home, and shortly after that, the league relocated its main offices there. The Texas Tornado moved to North Richland Hills, Texas, during the 2013 off-season. In 2018, the league moved its offices. 

In August 2005, the Major League Soccer team FC Dallas (formerly the Dallas Burn) relocated to Pizza Hut Park (now Toyota Stadium), which is located close to the intersection of Main Street and the Dallas North Tollway. The Dallas Cup, a significant annual international youth soccer competition, is held in Frisco and attracts teams from all over the world. Toyota Stadium and the National Soccer Hall of Fame share space.
