It's not that bad down at home games folks! The team does need a big shot in the arm for marketing and scouting for sure.
They'll claim 3,615 average attendance (see attached link) but I bet most games about 2,500 actually show up. The whole enterprise only works because the Dynamo already own the stadium rights and need to fill dates. http://soccerstadiumdigest.com/2019-nwsl-attendance/ Yeah, the “fanpeople” (I say that because half of them probably identify as not their natural born gender) will let you know how great the team is and DTFO and stuff like that while 98% of the Houston market doesn’t even know a game is going on
i try to go to 1 game per year to support. they really are fun to watch. however, i always thought that the Dash would've been perfect for a 2,000 seater at HASP. they would fill up a small park nicely as long as you didn't treat the game ops as minor league just because you're at a 2,000 seater. i believe the majority of women's European club teams play at the club training facilities. keep in mind that some of these European training facilities are nicer than HASP.
This is all correct, but then the SJWs would just complain about unequal facilities and having to play at a site the men in MLS wouldn’t play a game at blah blah blah.
Speaking of different stadiums, I would like to see the Dynamo play some Open Cup games at smaller venues. Frisco played one of their games at SMU this year. It would be unique and would put some new eyes on the team. I believe I have said this before but I just think that the team could play a game at Delmar stadium and give out tickets to all the HISD kids, the stadium is big enough for an Open Cup crowd. I know it won't happen but it would be really cool. The Cup games are just pathetic in regards to attendance.
YASS! The A&M field has held CONCACAF, USOC, Dash, and Mexico WNT U-20 games. I went to the Mexico - Texas A&M game and there were more people there than at some USOC games at BBVA. If the last time you went was the Dynamo - Puntarenas CCC game the place has grown. before it only had stands on one side. now it has stands on each sideline and bleachers on one of the end lines.
A day long remembered! Not only for the win and that cool lil' stadium A&M was nice enough to lend to us that night but the shenanigans when Max breaks the barrier to the field early on, the ensuing goal celebration sees a wall of Dynamo hinchas collapse said barrier even though the A&M game day ops "fixed"it, FuBoy thus has to prop himself up to avoid impaling himself on some stake sticking outta the ground in front of the barrier, he literally had to do a static push up with the weight of 10 dudes falling on his back! Or he woulda been pitchforked for real! HAHA!

So the Dash finish worse than 2018 with less points. And this was after they ran off the last coach because she was mean or something.
Was this really worse for Carli Lloyd than actually having to practice and pretend to be a member of the Houston Dash? She’s the best at being a victim!! http://www.espn.com/soccer/united-states-usaw/story/3965462/carli-lloyd-says-diminished-world-cup-role-was-worst-time-of-my-life
Yeah, my heart was touched she had to play a role for our National Team girls. I mean she played a role here in too for our Houston girls, marked absent that is.
I don't know know who Carli Lloyd is. I feel like the media wants me to think this person is famous but honestly, I have no idea who this is and I don't care.

Our Dash went toe to toe with this Champion side North Carolina, at their house no less. It was a game that ESPN2 broadcasted back in August iirc. I was posted up and the game was on so I was able to watch the entire match. Solid, end to end action and our girls tested this North Carolina side all night. However, North Carolina was awarded a PK in the late stages of the match and won 1-0 but it was the most dubious PK call I had witnessed in decades. A Bocanegra love tap to that Ghana player at Germany2006 where the ref gave them a PK for it. Which if so, there would be around 10 PK's each and every game in the sport if defenders were called for contesting their space to win a flighted ball inside their own 18. Simply put, our girls are not that far behind in terms of competing with the rest of the league. They just need to play a better 90 minutes as they, like our Dynamo men, mental lapse here and there and as well have back line issues. At least our club's two teams are consistent with each other! HA!
This is too funny - surprised he didn’t Thank her for all her Dash efforts!!!! http://mobile.twitter.com/ChrisCanetti/status/1188942398086361088
Jeez. One took our club's money as some sort of "off n on" player for rent. The other in some sort of odd promotion of the "buy tickets, or else" marketing strategy drove our club into the ground!
http://www.bbvastadium.com/news/det...DdlIqnJiTF-3ACj7hR8upyBunlNosdrbLSW_K7h3FQWSg BBVA will host a group in the CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying tournament. Group A including USA, Costa Rica, Panama, and Haiti will play three double-headers here in Houston January 28-February 3. H-E-B Park in Edinburg, Texas will host Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, and St. Kitts & Nevis in Group B play. The semifinal and final will take place in Southern California. The two finalists in the tournament will advance to the 2020 Olympics in Japan.
It just occurred to me that now that we have signed Ramos as our head coach, with his good name and record as player and coach for the USSF, our city and our State might just be in line to get a heckava lot more U.S.A. men's and women's matches.
I think that’s going to have zero impact they’re just trying to find a warm weather location and our stadium is so desperate for the revenue we’re gonna take it even though no one’s going to go to most of the games for the women
Meh, I was more thinking that with Tab in charge here in a Deep South U.S.A. soccer role, our head coach, the international side of the sport has a tremendous opportunity to grow just cuz he is now down here. He will have Liga MX links with his time with Tigres and sway looking forward with our Fed. Tab is a made man.
I did not. Jeez, that was when Mexican team matchups in Houston were a bit uncommon. Now it seems like BBVA has one about once a month. But those women’s soccer events - and they can only be hosted in the US or Canada - really only can go to California, Texas or Florida in that window of the year
