Their enthusiasm for the sport is refreshing and they are a commied ownership group with a vision of making indoor football in Frisco a huge success now and for the long haul. “We are super excited about doing business in Frisco, Texas,” said Jessica Germain. “We literally could have placed this team in any city in the country and we chose Frisco because of its people, its reputation as Sports City U.S.A., and just because there is so much excitement and energy in and around the city. Frisco is a spectacular area and the people of Frisco deserve this exciting sport.” DID YOU KNOW?

We want nothing more than to convert them to Frisco Fighters fans and earn their trust in our great organization.” COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE The Frisco Fighters didn't waste any time making a splash in their new league.
