• Rollertown Beerworks is calling last call in Celina as it prepares to open a new $12M, 50,000 sq. ft. facility in Frisco later this month. Co-founded by Jonathan Rogers, and The Ticket’s Ben Rogers and Jeff “Skin” Wade, Rollertown will pour its final pints on October 11, just in time for Celina’s Oktoberfest.

• Frisco parents, rejoice—you might finally be able to delete a few apps off your phone! 📱🙌 Frisco ISD is rolling out a brand-new “one-stop shop” for all things school news, alerts, and updates, thanks to a partnership with Apptegy. Instead of juggling Remind 101, Sports U, Mailchimp, Smore (and who even remembers what else?), families will soon get everything in ONE sleek, easy-to-use website and app. Translation: fewer notifications, less chaos.

• Frisco, get ready to glow! Cosmic Baseball is bringing its neon-soaked, black-light-fueled party to Riders Field in 2026, where the Chili Peppers and Glow Mojis will light up the diamond in a way you’ve never seen before. Think baseball meets rave—with UV-reactive balls, glowing uniforms, and nonstop entertainment. Jump into the ticket lottery ASAP!

• The 2026 Dallas Open 🎾 is shaping up to be a powerhouse showcase, with World No. 5 Taylor Fritz and No. 6 Ben Shelton joining Casper Ruud (No. 12) on the roster. Held Feb. 7–15 at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, the tournament marks its second year as an ATP 500, and remains the only indoor ATP Tour event in the U.S. With Fritz fresh off a Wimbledon final and two 2025 titles, expect high-caliber play and major crowd energy.

While You Wait

Maybe you’re in the school carpool line or you’re “waiting for the host to start the meeting” — whatever you’re doing, we have some quick hits for you from around the Metroplex:

Famous: Klyde Warren Park in Dallas is gearing up for its moment in the spotlight on Smithsonian Channel’s How Did They Build That?, taking viewers behind the scenes of the engineering marvel that decks eight freeway lanes to create a 5-acre urban oasis.

Benched: Garland just scrapped its plans to build a $71 million, 10,000-seat soccer complex, a venue that was envisioned as the training base for the newly formed Atlético Dallas. The city cited rising costs and shifting priorities, leaving the ambitious project sidelined—for now.

Spooky: The Halloween Capital of Texas launched its annual festivities yesterday with plans for over 200 themed events. That’s right, for 31 days, the City of Denton will transform into a happening haunt filled with over-the-top decor and perfectly spooky vibes.
