You know the SUITS in both Executive Suites were well aware of this DEAL! Universal had been looking for years to build a new theme park, as Universal has stated they looked the World over.

Frisco's luck came when a Frisco resident mentioned the possibility of the PGA HQ moving out of Florida to George Purefoy the then City Manager. He kept the deal quiet & secret for 5 years, brilliant! The rest is history! This DEAL is just like the Toyota HQ relocation from Torrance, California after 50 years there to Plano, TX. another hush, hush type DEAL both moves were brilliantly executed! Both DEALS will continue to be GAME CHANGERS FOR NTX FOR YEARS TO COME! Bank on it! Let's see if Disney finally makes a move into Texas & the DFW Metroplex?

"Looking the world over" for land sounds like some marketing. I'm sure Universal was not gonna have a hard time looking for land to build a new test concept theme park. They had their eyes on DFW just not exactly where in DFW.
