Frisco's Online Ticket Pledge Drive for NCAA Football Ends MondayTeam Frisco will make its final pitch to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Committee next Thursday
FRISCO, Texas – In advance of Frisco's final presentation to NCAA officials to possibly serve as host to the next three NCAA Division I Football Championship Games, fans have a last chance to sign up for the city's online ticket pledge program before it ends on Monday.
The city's local organizing committee, also known as Team Frisco, will make its final pitch to the Division I Football Championship Committee in Indianapolis Feb. 25.
The website www.collegefootballfrisco.com gives online visitors the opportunity to learn more about Frisco's hosting effort, and also allows them to pledge their ticket interest should the event be played at the 23,000-seat multi-purpose Pizza Hut Park.
Officials in Frisco began the on-line ticket pledge initiative in January. In November, Frisco was chosen by the NCAA as one of two finalist cities for the upcoming national championship contests, and after final presentations on Feb. 25, a decision on the game's destination should occur in early March. "We're very excited to know we're (Frisco) not the only ones looking forward to the possibility of NCAA Division I Championship Football being played at Pizza Hut Park," said Frisco Mayor Maher Maso. "Folks from all parts of Texas and all across the country have expressed interest in traveling to Frisco if we're successful in securing the championship games. We'd be honored to be selected as the host city."
Team Frisco consists of the City of Frisco, its Economic Development Corporation and Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the Frisco Chamber of Commerce, Hunt Sports Group, LLC/Pizza Hut Park, and the Southland Conference.
