Frisco, Texas in itself isn’t a large city, but it’s a part of the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area−and Frisco has the distinction of being called Sports City U.S.A. Frisco also has recently been giving another name, “Tree City U.S. A.” by the National Arbor Association.
Only 25 miles from Love Field, Frisco is one of the fastest growing cities in the entire country. In recent years Frisco’s population has swelled to nearly 200,000 residents. The majority of these are professionals who are employed in the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Generally, mild weather is a great help for Frisco sports fans. Frisco makes the perfect locale for sports of all kinds ─ and with five major highways cutting through the area, it can’t be any easier to get to all your favorite sports events from almost any other city.
