After Two Decades, Farewell to the Frisco Superdrome

In 1998, a velodrome opened, to be managed by the city of Frisco (TX), Collin College and Electronic Data Systems (EDS), a technology company now owned by Hewlett-Packard Co. Close to 20 years after its opening, the Frisco Superdrome, a bicycle racetrack with steep banks and a wooden surface at 9700 Wade Blvd., will close.

The city and Collin College will discontinue its management agreement with Superdrome Management Group, which expires Dec. 31, 2017. At that time, Collin College will be able to repurpose the 5.5 acres to accommodate more growth.

The Frisco Superdrome is one of only two velodromes in Texas, and one of several in the country. The facility is a bicycle racetrack with steep banks and a wooden surface. The Superdrome has hosted local clinics, as well as national and international competitions, including the 2000 U.S. Olympic team trials for track cycling.
