There’s a lot of buzz around The Star in Frisco. The Star is a 91-Acre campus that hosts the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters. It’s also a place I frequent often with my friends and family. I love when an entertainment venue can cater to all areas of my life. It was a not a hard decision to partner with The Star on this post. All opinions are my own.

Things to Do at The Star in Frisco
Shopping
The Star District is the perfect place to shop.
Dallas Cowboys Studio
Studio is located inside Fans United; this latest Cowboys inspired boutique is made with the female fan base in mind. It’s about time that more ladies are recognized as sports fans. According to Dallas Cowboys Executive Vice President & Chief Brand Officer Charlotte Jones Anderson, half of Dallas Cowboys fans are women. Now there is fashion, jewelry, and accessories for the die-hard female Cowboys fans to show off on any given day.
