This is one of the biggest horse***t PR articles by the Chronicle for wasting taxpayers money that I've seen in a while. What"locals" are they talking about regarding a desire to alleviating parking?...those guys are happy to charge usury rates for parking on game days!!!

Dutch Lions FC NPSL @HDLFCGamecast Feb 16 First @NPSLSoccer preseason match announced! Come see us take on @HBUMSoccer as we get ready for the 2017 season!!
Dutch Lions FC NPSL@HDLFCGamecast Mar 1 Proud to say we are on the list of teams representing @NPSLSoccer in the 2017 @opencup. Pairings announced in April
I was looking at the list of Open Cup teams and the format today. It looks to me like the Dutch Lions would probably play NTX Rayados in the first round and then the winner would probably play San Antonio FC. We'll see in April.
I got this from Fox Sports. Thought it was cool for all the kid that is left in all of us. Legos are timeless. http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/gal...field-emirates-stamford-bridge-wembley-033017
Houston FC @houstonfcpdl 19h19 hours ago We are psyched to add a new home venue for our June 15 and July 8 games! Reveal soon... #StrikeBlackGold #Path2Propic.twitter.com/vuiJ2wALN6
OK, you got my attention so explain what it means. i'm not a twatter so i probably won't click on the link.
apparently back on 4/10 they announced their home venue at Holloway Field at Rice University...my guess is that they have found a stadium conflict on both 6/15 and 7/8...stay tuned I guess for further updates.
http://www.uslpdl.com/news_article/show/753359?referrer_id=2314242 We are excited to have a PDL team in Houston,” PDL Director Todd Eason said. “Under the direction of Bruce Talbot, who has plenty of experience in the game and coaching connections, we’re sure that Houston FC will be a high-performing team on and off the field. We feel that Mr. Talbot and his staff will be able to capture the most elite players in that region to help them on their path to the professional level.” Houston FC is led by President Jeff Fetzer, who is an active advocate of Houston youth soccer volunteering and holds numerous leadership positions with local soccer clubs. Fetzer attained his Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Indiana University and his Master of Business Administration from Rice University. Talbot, who played collegiately at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has coaching experience at North Carolina and Clemson University and will serve as Head Coach for Houston FC. Along with prior PDL head coaching experience, Talbot has also worked with multiple youth clubs as Director of Coaching and Player Development, including Lonestar Soccer Club and Capital Area Soccer League.
I posted the combined 2017 schedule for Houston FC and Brazos Valley Cavalry in the thread labeled: PDL 2017 https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/pdl-2017.2038817/ It was my intent to post news about both teams in that thread but I've been lax on Houston FC news.

Will definitely be going to these games to check out the newest team to our city. I trust others will go and have a shout for this team, even if just once this first season. What about player selection and filling out the roster? Has this been all completed or are there going to be ongoing player identification and selection @msilverstein47
