The Dallas Cowboys are heading back to Frisco for their annual training camp at The Star presented by American Airlines. After spending time in Oxnard, California, the team will return to Ford Center at The Star for two days of fan-friendly, open practice sessions on Aug. 19 and 20.
Both practices are free and open to the public, offering Cowboys fans a chance to get up close to the team just weeks before the season kicks off.
Welcome Back, Cowboys: What To Expect
The action begins on Aug. 19, when Tostitos Championship Plaza opens at 4:00 p.m. for a pre-practice celebration featuring a live DJ, mascot Rowdy, games, giveaways and more.
Doors to Ford Center open at 4:30 p.m., followed by an official opening ceremony at 5:30 p.m. hosted by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and featuring remarks from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and American Airlines’ Griffin Gonzalez. The open practice runs from 6 to 8 p.m.
Cowboys Night: Live From Frisco
The excitement continues on Aug. 20, with Cowboys Night. Festivities on the plaza begin again at 4 p.m., and another open practice kicks off at 6 p.m. inside Ford Center. This session will be broadcast live on TXA 21 and streamed online via DallasCowboys.com, hosted by Bill Jones.
