Cowboys to spend more on practice facility than they did on their stadium

The Dallas Cowboys are moving. Like most moves, it'll be a costly one. Unlike most moves, the final price tag will total $1.5 billion.

Starting next season, the Cowboys' practice facility will no longer be based at Valley Ranch. Instead, the team will be relocating over to a Frisco-based facility called The Star. Apparently, The Star, once it's finished, will cost more than the construction of AT&T Stadium -- the gold standard of all stadiums.

So, why is it so expensive? Thanks to the Dallas Morning News, we know that it includes a 16-story hotel, an event center, a members-only club, practice fields, restaurants and retail stores, office space and an underground parking garage. The Star also features a 12,000-seat indoor stadium, which will be shared with high school teams, and a sports medicine center, which will be available for public use and will hopefully be able to develop an artificial, superior collarbone for Tony Romo.

The Cowboys, luckily, won't foot the entire bill. They're partnering with the city and the schools, who will act as part owners. According to the Dallas Morning News, the city will be responsible for $60 million and the school district will owe $30 million. The Cowboys will pay for the rest.

Re: the school district will owe $30 million.

Fricking wealthy school district.

The Frisco district is growing rapidly. There is a tremendous amount of new office construction in their district.

This is the second partnership of this type the district has done. They also paid for a part of the stadium used by FC Dallas and use it for school athletic events.

The first actual event at the new Cowboy practice facility will be a football quadruple header with all eight district high schools participating.
