Getting There
Frisco is served primarily by Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), located approximately 25 miles southwest of the city center. The drive from DFW to Frisco takes roughly 33 to 35 minutes without traffic via the Dallas North Tollway or TX-121. Rideshare is the most practical airport transfer option, with Uber averaging around $49 and 29 minutes for the trip; there is no direct public transit connection between DFW and Frisco.
Getting Around
Frisco is a car-dependent city with limited public transit coverage, so renting a car or relying on rideshare is strongly recommended for sports travelers. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) does not serve Frisco directly from DFW, making it impractical for most fan itineraries. Uber and Lyft are widely available throughout the DFW metroplex and are the best on-demand options for getting between venues, hotels, and dining.
Where to Stay
The Frisco Square neighborhood, situated just 0.3 miles from Toyota Stadium, is the top choice for FC Dallas fans who want to walk to the match and stay close to pre- and post-game dining and bars. The Star district is another strong option, clustering hotels like the Omni Frisco and Drury Inn near the Dallas Cowboys headquarters and training facility, with easy rideshare access to Toyota Stadium. Budget-conscious travelers can find solid mid-range options in the $85 to $130 per night range, such as the Hilton Garden Inn Frisco or Hampton Inn and Suites, while premium options like the Omni Frisco and Westin Stonebriar run higher. Book well in advance for FC Dallas match weekends, as hotel rates near Toyota Stadium can spike 50 percent or more on event dates.
Sports Fan Notes
Frisco has earned a reputation as one of the most sports-dense suburbs in America, with Toyota Stadium for FC Dallas sitting alongside the Dallas Cowboys' The Star headquarters and training facility, Dr Pepper Ballpark for the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders, and Comerica Center hosting the NBA G League Texas Legends. FC Dallas supporters groups bring genuine atmosphere to Toyota Stadium, and the club has deep roots in North Texas soccer culture, making it a worthwhile destination for MLS fans looking beyond the typical big-market experiences. The density of venues means a sports travel weekend in Frisco can realistically include multiple events across different sports without ever leaving the city. Visiting fans should note that Frisco is a family-oriented suburb and that the loudest and most passionate sections at Toyota Stadium are organized by the supporter groups in the south end.
