National Championship Comes to North Texas
“Anytime we can bring a national championship to our area, we all benefit.”
Washington, D.C. – Tonight, the NCAA Division I Football Championship will be held in at the Pizza Hut Park in Frisco. Working to bring this game to Texas began in 2009. The City of Frisco and Mayor Maher Maso have worked hard to bring this football championship game to Texas. The Texas Congressional Delegation showed their support by sending a letter of support to the chair of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Committee in November 2009.
“I am proud that Mayor Maso and the City of Frisco’s hard work paid off,” said Burgess. “Anytime we can bring a national championship to our area, we all benefit. Our local businesses get more traffic, and people from different parts of the country get to visit a great city in Texas. Tonight’s game brings even more attention to Frisco as Vice President Biden will be in attendance.”
Vice President Biden will attend to cheer on The Delaware Blue Hens as they take on the Eastern Washington Eagles. The game will be held at 6:00 pm at the Pizza Hut Park. Frisco will hold the NCAA Division I Football Championship for the next three years.
