The MLS FC Dallas, formerly the Burn, moved out of the Cotton Bowl in 2003 and into a high school Venue for the next one year. The team expected to stay in the Venue for two years, but it moved back to the Cotton Bowl for the 2004 season. It opened its own Venue in 2005.
In addition to the 20,000-seat stadium, there are 17 fields for amateur teams on the 100-acre development. Local officials expect the complex to be a regional draw which could lead to development of a 300-room hotel and adjacent office and retail space. The field of the horseshoe-shaped bowl will be built below street level.
In addition to the development, the governments will get income from the expansion of an existing tax incremental financing district.
The FC Dallas earlier talked with McKinney officials about building in that city, but the deal fell through. McKinney was asking for a 20-year lease with payments of $500,000 per year. The stadium would also be open for city use 10 times a year and the local high school would have access. Financing would have seen Hunt pay the first $2 million of the $29 million venue, plus any cost overruns. (Facilities, Financial, Professional Sports, Venue)
