FC Dallas said the work was a planned, controlled demolition in an active construction zone, with no impact on the pitch or team facilities.

- The construction has had no impact on the pitch or facilities used by the team, located in Frisco, Texas, about 30 miles north of downtown Dallas.
- Beginning in early 2025, the renovation project is scheduled for completion before the 2028 MLS season, while FC Dallas continues to play regular-season games at the venue.
