It seats 12,000 fans and features a huge 4K video board.

The Dallas Cowboys have closed up shop in Oxnard, Calif., for 2016 training camp as they head back home to take on the Miami Dolphins in a preseason game. The team won’t return to Oxnard now that it has a state-of-the-art facility in Frisco, Texas, called The Star.


The centerpiece of the $1.5 billion project is the Ford Center, where the Cowboys will practice. It’s a stunning indoor facility, complete with a huge video board and 12,000 seats.



One might wonder why the Cowboys need 12,000 seats at a practice facility, but it’s not entirely for them. Frisco high school teams will also play at the Ford Center, which is sure to be a treat for those on the field and families watching in the stands.



Team owner Jerry Jones and the Cowboys also want to host the NFL Scouting Combine at the Ford Center, though that won’t happen until at least 2020. Needless to say, this facility is a massive upgrade from their Oxnard digs, and players will certainly feel right at home in Frisco.

Impressive place. It will be nice to have one permanent place for training camp from now on that's close by.

I kinda like that they do training camp in California though.

But it certainly an impressive venue for the rest of the time.

Why does the guy on the video board have a tattoo of Spags on the back of his head?

There's a pic of some HS football players seeing it for the first time and I have to say, it's pretty cool to see them so excited. "We get to play here?? Eff yeah!"
