The Hunt Sports Group, which owns FC Dallas, will reimburse the city 35.71%, or about $65 million, of the $182 million.<\/p>\n

When finished, fans will enjoy plenty of bells and whistles, including the largest video board (6,000 square feet) for a soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer. Expect new video signage and a cutting-edge sound system.<\/p>\n

A state-of-the-art roof will shade the majority of seats in the stadium\u2019s bowl.<\/p>\n

Stadium seating capacity will increase by more than 10% to 22,500. Club seating capacity will increase by 175%; suits capacity by 58%.<\/p>\n

There will be a 59% increase in concession points-of-sale, offering quicker service, and a 26% increase in restroom facilities.<\/p>\n

Expect accessibility improvements in the stadium to better accommodate guests with physical differences. <\/p>\n

An upgraded field drainage system will allow for more efficient water clearance.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s first phase, which entails demolishing the east side of the stadium, is expected to be completed by next summer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRISCO \u2014 FC Dallas and Toyota today announced a multi-year renewal of Toyota\u2019s presenting sponsorship and naming-rights agreement…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":341074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,64,1596,15519,221,358,21371,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-341073","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-dallas","11":"tag-fc-dallas","12":"tag-soccer","13":"tag-texas","14":"tag-toyota-stadium","15":"tag-tx","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=341073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
