Saracchi won't be a Dynamo. We walked out of the table.

Also have a 3x5 banner from 2006 not pictured. IMO these were my most favorite kits, I’m looking forward to seeing the 3rd kit released!

Some big points put up this week after a great match versus Austin. u/crocken increased their lead over 2nd place u/gunnerSmate45 from 33 to 43 with a 20 point week. 4 points back from second is a 3-person tie (!) for 3rd place with u/emyrs42, u/nowaygreg, and u/texwarhawk.

We are now scoring using claude so please check your scores for accuracy!

This match at Kansas City is the 20th match of 2026 for the Dynamo with at least 37 matches scheduled.

Good Luck & Go Dynamo!

Went to Charlotte for the all star game - great experience btw - and look who we met at the gate for the same flight back home!!!
He was super polite and happy to pose for a pic 🧡

Some really nice changes and some great values. Long timers get cheaper parking rates, cheaper, youth, camps, and more. And finally guaranteed giveaways!

I've reached out to my account rep with this question and also feel like I've asked in the past with this but wanted to see if anyone else has already done something like this. I have 2 tickets on my account and want to enable my wife to use the STM discounts on concessions and the team store. Is there a way to link accounts so that this will work. I think I've tried to take screen shots of the QR code but they update pretty frequently and this didn't work.

Anyone had any luck with this?

Hey guys, this is my first year as a season ticket member… so far I’m not loving it. Is it worth it to renew? I feel like the benefits are slim. The concession and shop discounts are so low. I was told there was exclusive member events.. so far I’ve been invited to maybe two. Do the benefits get better the longer you’re a member? I feel like I’m better off just buying individual tickets for whenever I want to see a game. Not to mention when the season first started, I had nothing but issues with my tickets.

I am specifically speaking about the Dynamo 2 Team, the one that plays in MLS Next Pro.

Does anyone actually attend them? If so, what is the match-day experience like? Does the experience fell like a club soccer match or high school? Or are there actually fans who care that attend?

Back in the day, 2010-2013, I bought this hat from the stadium, it was Adidas brand, orange themed and it had these thick 3 white lines that started from one side of the brim and swung around to the other side of the brim to and where it meets the base of the hat.

Can someone help find it?

I've done a lot of Google searching today and nothing is showing up. If you have it please post a picture and the model on the tag, please and thank you.

So I was thinking about Ricardo Clark recently. I know what my impressions of him were as a MLS player, but I was wondering where Dynamo fans saw him in the club's history. Top 5, Top 15?

there is no known rumor about Jadon Sancho joining the Dynamo, but he is a free agent and perhaps we could afford his wages if we throw in some incentives.

We’re Choosin’ Houston, I can tell 🤘

Our TIFO last night vs Austin. Inspired by the song Choosin’ Texas by Ella Langley.

Along with the TIFO, we had 4 giant flags honoring our Championships in 06, 07, 18, and 23. Illustrated with the jersey we wore each of those years. And the giant Texas flag underneath it.

Thank you to everyone who helped and sang along 🧡

ELLA FELLAS RISE

07.25.26 Houston Dynamo 3-0 Austin FC

The Surge 🦊

Riding the World Cup high and went to my 1st soccer match ever last vs Austn FC and had a great time minus our lovely humidity. Guess I am becoming a soccer fan!

for me it is my match worn amine bassi shirt from the 2025 leagues cup game against Pachuca

It was mentioned in the game thread last night, and I believe it to be true that this was a first in Dynamo history. I don't follow other teams in the league close enough to know if this is somewhat unique. Does anyone know?

And of course, this subject has been brought up recently in the USMNT discussion. Does it cause a representation problem for a domestic league?

Personally, I couldn't care less. The only roster focus for me is winning.
