Frisco named Finalist City for NCAA Football Title Game Bid
FRISCO NAMED FINALIST CITY FOR NCAA FOOTBALL TITLE GAME BIDS
FRISCO, Texas - The NCAA notified Frisco officials Monday afternoon that the city is a finalist to possibly play host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship games following the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons.
The NCAA did not release the names of other cities that may also be advancing in the effort to serve as host to the title game, previously
known as the Division I-AA Football Championship. Earlier media reports
indicated that Spokane, Wash., Missoula, Mont., Little Rock, Ark., and Chattanooga, Tenn., the current NCAA championship site, also submitted bid proposals in October.
The Frisco bid is a joint effort between the City of Frisco, Hunt Sports Group, LLC, the Frisco Economic Development Corporation, the Frisco Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. The Southland Conference, also based in Frisco, would serve as the host conference for the national championship that would be played at Pizza Hut Park, the city's 23,500-seat multi-purpose stadium.
In addition, the Frisco bid effort was endorsed by numerous entities, including the U.S. Congressional delegation from North Texas, the area's state legislators, and other Dallas-Fort Worth based collegiate sports organizations such as the AT&T Cotton Bowl, the National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame, the Big 12 Conference and Conference USA. DFW International Airport and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines also submitted letters of support for the championship endeavor.
"We're very excited about Frisco being one step closer to being selected to host the NCAA Division I Football Championship," said Mayor Maher Maso.
"We're very honored to be part of such an impressive team, which includes our partners at the Southland Conference, Pizza Hut Park and the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. We're also very honored to have received an endorsement letter from the North Texas delegation from the U.S. House of Representatives. Together, we'll continue to work hand in hand to bring this sporting event to Frisco, benefiting the entire North Texas region."
A contingent of Frisco city leaders and others involved in the bid process will attend this year's championship in Chattanooga on Dec. 18, and it's possible that a Frisco site visit from NCAA officials will occur in the near future. A final presentation will be made by Frisco officials before the NCAA Division I Football Committee in late February, and a final decision is expected shortly after that.
"We are honored to be part of the Frisco effort selected by the NCAA committee to advance in the process, and look forward to making the case for Frisco as the ideal location for the NCAA Championship," Southland Conference commissioner Tom Burnett said. "Whether it's the state-of-the-art Pizza Hut Park, the unmatched national air service into our two major airports, our first-class hotels, or all the tremendous retail and entertainment options in Frisco and throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, we believe our destination location can provide a wonderful and memorable championship experience for the competing teams and other visitors."

Frisco Community Parade - Saturday! Not to be missed.
Organizations from throughout Frisco are designing floats and the school bands are getting out their best march music for the annual Frisco Community Parade scheduled for November 14 at 11 a.m. on Main Street originating from Pizza Hut Park. The object of the parade is to express the community's thanks to the men and women who serve in the military.
The Community Parade Committee is chaired by Mayor Maher Maso and made up of volunteers including former Mayor Mike Simpson, VFW Commander Lee Myrben, and FISD School Board Member Buddy Minett among others.
The committee has secured Former Mayor Bob Warren, a Frisco native, as parade
grand marshal; internationally-known gymnast Nastia Liukin, who trains with WOGA Gymnastics; and parade emcee Pam Harris of CBS 11.
"We are very excited about plans for this year's event," Minett said. "We hope many other groups decide to enter this year. The fall parade is a long-standing tradition in Frisco and makes great memories for families."
Myrben says he expects to have veterans ranging from age 91 to the very young men and women who are currently serving riding in vehicles throughout the parade. Attractions of the parade include Fire and Police vehicles, the Frisco Fire Clowns, the homecoming/forthcoming royalty of all five high schools, team mascots, representatives of Frisco's professional sports teams, and floats and marchers from various civic and youth groups.
This year's winning float entries will have Frisco Education Foundation scholarships donated in their names in May of 2010. The Grand Prize is worth a $1,000 Scholarship; First Runner Up is a $750 scholarship; and Honorable Mention is a $500 scholarship. Bragging Rights trophies will be awarded to the Best High School, Middle School, and Elementary float.
School Spirit themes are also encouraged. There is no registration fee for schools. The website is www.Friscoparade.com There are specific float size requirements available on the parade website. No candy throwing is allowed, though walkers may pass it out along route. At least one person must walk along side each side of float.
