While the Dallas Cowboys have a billion dollar palace to host their home games, the team does not have a suitable practice facility for such a valuable franchise. However, since we all know how Jerry Jones is, he plans to go about changing that by closing out a deal that would give the team a new facility and headquarters.

According to Valerie Wigglesworth of the Dallas Morning News, Jones and the Cowboys are close to a deal that would move their headquarters and practice facilities to Frisco, Texas.

A meeting will be held on Monday to see if the Cowboys can occupy 91 acres in Frisco for their new plan.

“We’re very excited about these latest developments,” mayor Maher Maso said in a statement.  “That said, it would be inappropriate for us to comment prior to any action taken by our city council, and the boards of our other public partners.”

The Cowboys are also reportedly considering offers in Arlington and Irving, Texas if the deal in Frisco falls through. That should surely help the team put the pressure on and finalize the deal that will move them from Valley Ranch.
