Demolition work at the Toyota Stadium, home of FC Dallas, caught the Sweden national soccer team by surprise during their training session on Wednesday night. The team is using the stadium as their base camp for the World Cup.
The demolition is part of a years-long renovation project at the stadium, which began in early 2025 and is expected to be completed before the start of the 2028 MLS season. The work is being done in phases, and FC Dallas is still playing regular-season games at the stadium during the renovation.
Renovation Details
According to FC Dallas, the demolition work was part of a planned and controlled demolition within an active construction zone. The work was conducted using a pull-down demolition method and did not involve explosives. No one was injured during the demolition.
The area where the demolition took place has been blocked off since before Sweden started using the stadium as their base camp. The construction has had no impact on the pitch or any facilities being used by the team in Frisco, Texas.
