the space

In 2024, Sports Business Journal ranked Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) as the top sports city in the country. Frisco is at the center of it all, playing host to the headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys, FC Dallas, PGA of America, Dallas Stars, and minor league affiliates of the Dallas Mavericks (Texas Legends) and Texas Rangers (Frisco Roughriders). Members of SIS@UNT get 24/7 access to a shared workspace at the Star Entertainment District in the offices of Plug and Play Sports Tech, and have access to state-of-the-art amenities, conference rooms, kitchen, and an incredible view of DFW, which will be the perfect backdrop for client meetings.
