The National Soccer Hall of Fame (NSHOF) has opened in Frisco. It comes as part of a $55 million renovation of the Toyota Stadium. At the NSHOF, each museum-goer will have the opportunity to create their own journey, put themselves inside the game, and bring history to life.

Upon entering the NSHOF, guests will be able to submit information about themselves. Using the information submitted, along with facial recognition technology, the exhibit will deliver a one-of-a-kind, personalized experience built solely for each guest. Each guest can build their own national team, create their own scarf, which they can take home, and design their own MLS kit.

There will also be gold medals from the Women’s World Cup and Olympic games dating all the way back to the 19th century.
