Only a small percentage of Dallas Cowboys fans make it inside Arlington’s AT&T Stadium. In Frisco, however, at least once a year they can get up close and personal with their favorite players during free, open practices at Ford Center at The Star.
A tradition since 2016, following the team’s first portion of training camp in Oxnard, California, they’ll head home for two training days of prep right here in Frisco.
Mark your calendars: August 27-28 is your golden ticket to watch the ‘boys prepare for the 2024 season (or maybe a bedazzled blue ticket is a more fitting reference in this case.) Grab your favorite hat, jersey, and foam finger and take note of the details:
