It may be a little early to start this...but last year we knew the date by the middle of January. I'm going to start reaching out to my sources soon.

Is this based off a source, or just wishful thinking?

FC Dallas schedule came out and I checked stadium website for events, so here's the possible dates assuming it's between April-June as it always has been.

April 2 - game
April 9 - game
April 16 - game
April 23 – Country Music Festival
April 30 - OPEN
May 7 - OPEN

May 14 - game
May 21 – Bass Classic
May 28 – OPEN (Memorial Day weekend)
June 4 - OPEN
June 11 - OPEN
June 18 - OPEN

June 25 - game

Hopefully we'll get some inside information from someone soon!

There isn't a game on April 16th, it's on the 17th...however there is the 'Texas Lone Star Half & 5K' in Frisco on the 16th, so your right that day is out. May 28th would be a good guess at this point...we will see!

They typically block out every weekend from mid-April through mid-June until the concert is announced, then charge astronomical prices for the concert weekend.

The finmen are are considering moving to the EAST lot this year. Has anyone partied in the EAST LOT in the last year or two? If so, what's the vibe like? Do you get a lot of partiers coming in from the grass car lots?

I have found in years past that the east lot was not as lively the night before. I am not sure about the day of the concert, but on Friday night it seems the party is on the west side.

Love the early announcement, it helps me get through the winter with something to look forward to. No cabin fever! I am just glad I can go to Frisco this year. Last year I had to go to The Woodlands due to a conflict with the Frisco date. NEVER again. They do not know how to party down I-45

New Hampton Inn on edge of the grounds of the sports complex. I booked 3 nights using Hilton points and the rates are even decent. They must have no idea..... We are also going to bring the RV down, just planning on getting a little sleep......

Check the brand new Hampton Inn right by the stadium. Regular rates as of this morning. I was able to book using Hilton Points.
