MLS Cup will be on December 7 or 8. I'm guessing Saturday, Dec. 7 because I think there will be no college football on that day. The college football season might end a week before the MLS Cup Final.
I don't think the TBD time impacts your travel. You need to go day before and home day after up there anyway.
Yeah it will almost certainly be on 8/24 or 8/25 but I sure would like to have it in writing before i put down money on tickets.
Breakdown of Home schedule: Saturday Games = 10 Sunday Games = 5 Wednesday = 1 Friday = 1 * Day Games (before 6), we have 5 with the last before the summer being 5/12. The one that worries me is the earlier start on September 8. ** In fact, we only have FOUR mid-week games all season (CCL aside)
You must be looking somewhere other than http://www.houstondynamo.com/SCHEDULE then. Which day is it?

Looks like we are the unofficial team of UniMas! Which means crap Sumday afternoon start times. You can always have a cloudy day but the April, May and Sept. 8th games are going to rough on the Eastsiders like myself. But we've got 3 March night games!!!!!!!! Really silly
Dallas on March 17? Eeehhhhhh...... On the bright side: Road-mother-fing-Trip to Dallas on March 17!!!! Why haven't we sold out 5-10 buses yet?!?!?
BTW, i'm inviting all you guys out to my birthday this year. Will be hosting the party at BBVA Compass and the Dynamo brought in a "major league" canadian team to come play in my honor. it will be on March 23. It's a Sneak In Your Own Booze and Pay for Your Own Ticket event though.
With CCL dates added. The 2013-14 CCL dates haven't been announced but these are likely guesses. Remember that we play on 4 of the possible 6 matchdays starting in July: Sat March 2 v DC United 7 pm Tue March 5 v. Santos Wed March 13 @ Santos Sun March 17 @ Dallas noon Sat March 23 v Vancouver 730pm Sat March 30 v San Jose 730pm Wed April 3 CCL Semis Sat April 6 @ Portland 930pm Wed April 10 CCL Semis Sun April 14 v Chicago 4pm Sat April 20 @ Toronto Wed April 24 CCL Finals Sun April 28 v Colorado 4pm Wed May 1 CCL Finals Sun May 5 @ Galaxy 10pm Wed May 8 @ DC 6pm Sun May 12 v SKC 3pm Sat May 18 v Revolution 730pm Sun May 26 @ SKC 230pm Sat June 1 @ Columbus 630pm Wed June 19 @ Montreal Sat June 22 v Toronto 8pm Sun June 30 @ NYRB 1p Sat July 6 v Philadelphia 8pm Sat July 13 @ Revolution 630pm Sat July 27 v Chicago 7pm Wed July 31 CCL Matchday #1 Sat August 3 v Columbus 8pm Sat August 10 @ RSL 830pm Sat August 17 v Seattle 8pm Wed August 21 CCL Matchday #2 Sat August 24 @ Montreal TBD Wed August 28 CCL Matchday #3 Sun Sept 1 @ Chicago 4pm Wed Sept 4 @ Columbus 630pm Sun Sept 8 v NYRB 4pm Sat Sept 14 @ Philadelphia 630pm Wed Sept 18 CCL Matchday #4 Sat Sept 21 v Chivas 730pm Wed Sept 25 CCL Matchday #5 Sat Sept 28 @ Revolution 630pm Fri Oct 4 v Montreal 730pm Wed Oct 9 v SKC 730pm Sun Oct 20 v NYRB 4pm Wed Oct 23 CCL Matchday #6 Sun Oct 27 @ DC 12:30pm September could be very, very busy.
Hmm. With MLS Cup on on December 7 or 8 we have this possible post-season: Sunday, October 27: Regular season ends Wed/Thurs, October 30-31: Play-in Round Sat/Sun, November 2-3: Conference Semifinals, Leg 1 Sat/Sun, November 9-10: Conference Semifinals, Leg 2 Sat/Sun, November 16-17: Conference Finals, Leg 1 Sat/Sun, November 23-24: Conference Finals, Leg 2 Thursday, November 28: Thanksgiving Sat/Sun, December 7-8: MLS CUP Much less congested and puts every playoff game except the Play-In Round on a weekend.
Tough travel I agree. The real gauntlet in my opinion is the 4 away game to two home games in the heart of the playoff push; September. Not too mention there are possible CCL dates in that month. From the team's perspective, September will STINK.
