The Cowboys' move from Valley Ranch to Frisco is moving forward. On Monday, the Frisco City Council took a look at some initial plans for the 66-acre site.

It is, judging by the video produced for the council by O'Brien Architects, a small Cowboys theme park, where fans gather to dine at football-themed restaurants and cheer wildly at what appears to be 20-year-old footage of Emmitt Smith. Somehow, it seems to fit in Frisco.
