Enjoyed the pecan lodge last year.
I moved to Frisco this summer and agree with the above. Many of the locals also really enjoy Hard Eight BBQ, and it's infinitely easier to drive to than than Pecan Lodge. Hard Eight is an open pit style, open air dining restaurant, where you walk through and tell them to cut off whatever you want in whatever quantity you want. It's nice to be able to sample the different meat options without committing to a large quantity. However, Hutchins has scoop your own sides and free unlimited scoop your own deserts (often banana pudding and peach cobbler), and the brisket may be slightly better at Hutchins as well.
My favorite is Babb Brothers BBQ & Blues.

You're braver than I am. I try to avoid crossing south of the Bush Turnpike if possible. Following 121 northeast from DFW airport to Frisco is actually a pretty smooth and painless commute and still avoids most of the heavy traffic areas. I avoid Love Field because it's too close to the the city center.
Pecan Lodge is fantastic.
Three stacks in Frisco was great when we went there a couple years ago.
Hutchins BBQ is fantastic, the brisket especially, and there's one just a couple miles east of the stadium. Don't get there too late though (either for lunch or dinner) since once they're out of brisket your taste buds are out of luck.
I would also recommend you try Legacy Food Hall (https://legacyfoodhall.com/food-stalls-bars/) while you're in town. Friday night probably isn't the best for EWU fans as the Bison festivities are going to be held there. If you have a family or group that has trouble deciding on where to eat, this place is perfect. I've eaten there several times with different groups of people and nobody has ever tried anything they didn't like. The Asian buns from Enter the Bao are always at the top of people's list.
Best bet for BBQ for the Dallas trip is to stop in Kansas City on the way down, the way back, or both times.
Rudy’s!! Its walking distance from the stadium/tailgate lots. Great BBQ. Has become our groups annual victory dinner stop!
If you go to Hutchins you have to get one of these---

Pecan Lodge, Hutchins, Lockharts hit em all while you are down there.
I will second this. Rudy’s is awesome.
Not sure if Salt Lick has any sites in the DFW metro but if you like mustard based bbq sauce then that’s your place. Worth the trip to Austin if no DFW sites. Then you can also hit Ironworks and Blacks and Stubs. And the Lustre Pearl and... hell, I’m gonna stay in TX all January.
Hard 8 fun experience walking around BBQ pits.
Hutchins better food.
Never been to Pecan Lodge. Think I'll try to get there this time.
If you go to Lockarts in Plano beware of the deviled eggs. They bite back.
I've eaten at Hard 8 twice and it was amazing. Filled with good food and Bison fans.
Pecan Lodge is by far my favorite, but we found a place called 3 Stacks in Frisco... I was impressed.
Pecan Lodge. Hands down. Not even a debate.
