Opened on August 6, 2005, Pizza Hut Park is a 145-acre multipurpose sports and entertainment facility located at the intersection of Main Street and Dallas North Tollway in Frisco, Texas and is the home of Major League Soccer's FC Dallas.
The combination of a world-class stadium and a sports park make Pizza Hut Park one of the best and most unique soccer facilities in the world. Included in the facility is the 20,500 state-of-the-art pro soccer stadium which features a built-in stage on the north end and 26 suites that are approximately 500 square feet in size. Located on the west side of the stadium, the suites are immediately above the lower bowl seating area and provide an outstanding view of both the playing field and the concert stage. By adding field seats above a state-of-the art Terraflor covering, the stadium can accommodate over 27,000 fans for concerts.
The facility has demonstrated to be one of the top venues in the United States for both professional and amateur soccer. The complex, which includes 17 tournament-grade fields used for youth and adult soccer, as well as high school sports and other events, has drawn over 1 million visitors each year since opening.
In addition to FC Dallas action, Pizza Hut Park is the focal point of youth and adult soccer in North Texas and around the country. North Texas Soccer, the largest joint youth and adult soccer association in the United States, signed a marketing partnership with Pizza Hut Park which further enhances the brand awareness for both properties throughout the region. Furthermore, the United States Youth Soccer Association is headquartered at the complex. US Youth Soccer is the largest member of the United States Soccer Federation, the governing body for soccer in the United States.
In February 2006, Pizza Hut Park was recognized by the Dallas Business Journal as the winner of the 2005 Best Community Impact Award, given to a property that was judged to have created the most positive economic and social impact on a community. Pizza Hut Park was also the Top Winner at the Topping Out 2007 Awards Presentation, recognized for excellence in the fields of development, architecture and construction which have a positive impact on the local community. In November 2006, Pizza Hut Park was recognized as the first "Green" professional sports stadium in Texas after administering a formal recycling program.
The $105 million public-private complex is owned by the City of Frisco in partnership with the Hunt Sports Group (HSG), the Frisco Independent School District, and Collin County.
