Who stole the faded orange seat bottoms? Did they get sold off at a pick and pull lot? https://www.reddit.com/r/MLS/comments/f6o5u1/new_houston_dynamo_fairly_safe_standing/
I was actually on a field trip when they were ripping the seats out. I asked the guide if they were putting in rails and he said no. I hope he either didn't understand or wasn't in the know because this is damn embarrassing.
If you go to the Hustletown supporters group Twitter account they have this picture on it I just kind of find it funny that they still have the little stickers on it for season-ticket holder’s on the seatbacks even though they relocated all those people elsewhere
With Jay Adelberg off Twitter it’s gotten less chippy out there on the Dynamo. I wonder how long “safe standing” lasts when folks carve up their calves on remaining part of the seat hinge that sticks out Daily reminder that @HustleTownSupp is literal fake news propaganda to draw attention away from the fact that this team is going nowhere under the current regime.#BrenerOut #DeLaHoyaOut https://t.co/6ukeeoRyFN— #BrenerOut FC (@BrenerOut) February 21, 2020
In a city like ours, so closely entwinned with the oil and gas industry, NASA and the aerospace industry and our incredible health and science base here in Houston; where safety at work and safe work practices are so adhered to both on land, offshore, in the sky and when working on the human body, the most ironic aura of our club ever since AEG moved here is that there have been repeated instances where our FO suits just do not know enough about safety polices and procedures or just do not care enough to seek out certified inspectors or other professionals that could easily advise them against certain design flaws. And when this non desire for safety does not happen, we witness the seat hinge of metal left sticking out design flaw that somehow got approved.
I can't believe they are so incompetent, perhaps the seats are off to facilitate the unbolting of the seat backs. But no rails in front of each tier is a problem and a disaster waiting to happen
I work in corporate America in an office and we have all been trained on risks and ways to look at safety (at most companies, safety goes into annual bonus funding or calculation) and in one glance at that picture I evaluated it as unsafe for standing. I’m not even a field guy!!!! Who approved that? Did they run that by their insurance carrier?
yeah, I was thinking it was “in progress” but it came from the Hustletown account which is team-run so maybe they knew the project was finished. don’t laugh, what we have posted here probably will draw attention to it and make them change it before next Saturday
Home opener will be well attended... 20k+ Probably 1/3 Dynamo fans and 2/3 LAG/Chicharito fans. The visiting barra will drown the sounds of EB’s band. for the second game and forward I expect “announced” attendance to be at least 80% of capacity, but the visuals will show a half empty stadium. HustleTown will look more like tumbleweed town with 25 TA, 25 EB and the 2 Surge guys... maybe the Real Madrid guy shows up too while the weather isn’t too infernal. the Dynamo will come out of the gate looking like a serous playoff contender, but by the time the temps near triple digits, they will fall to the bottom half of the table... probably after the deadline for opting out of auto-renew has passed. I hope they prove me wrong
Hahahaha. I forgot about this guy. I was loud about it on social media when it was announced. Guys, a euro snob who hadn’t bother to go to a Dynamo game in 14 years was propped by our F.O. as being our savior. What a slap in the face to all the long time supporter group members and civilian fans.
I saw the cheapie that McNamara got for us but how did we let in 4? I thought Marko Schmeichel Buffon Casillas Maric was gonna be unbeatable since he was the best goalie in Scandinavia according to GenOrange.
Wasn't much he could do honestly. Our defense was non existent in the first half. Bizama subbed in for Fuenmayor in the 22nd minute I think. He was no improvement. Not a fan of Bizama. I don't know how to describe the first half. It was like our back line was checked out. Best player of the match, TMac he was trying. Niko wasn't bad either. But the D was atrocious.
I would like to ask the guy, honestly, how many times have you been to Madrid? Why are you such a hard core fan? Why do you turn your back on your home town team?
Heck! I have actually been to Madrid! Been to the Bernabeu Stadium, toured their entire facility and even I am not a CF Real Madrid hincha! I enjoy following the Euro Season, specifically the Champions League, but then again, what soccer fan on Earth DOES NOT follow the UCL! HA! Euro Snobs and the like, in the past, were given a pass as MLS was still just a few years old. Some men over here had indeed been following their Euro team in some form for more years than MLS had been around. But now in Season 25 and MLS is booming! There is no excuse for the younger than 30 crowd over here to be passionate for both their local team and their mistress team overseas. If a man cannot find it within himself to back his own local club than he has not backbone for the sport Ethos!
The word is the supporters section are almost sold out for first kick. And those seats only go to SGs so.....idk. Something to keep an eye on down the stretch.
Davis said several thousand tickets left at this stage. Still early in the week and weather projected to be nice, so sell out for opener isn't unreasonable. Big questions will be: 1) how many are there for Chicharito, 2) how big is game 2 attendance?
A lot and not a lot is my guess. Be funny if it's like all those Beckham games and he doesnt even travel.
difference is that Chicharito isn't a princess. doesn't care if its turf (Zlatan), 90 degrees, or shtty locker rooms. he'll show up and play.
I agree with your characterization. If he is healthy, he'll play. I'm just in a dark humor right now.
IIRC Becky only played, traveled really, in one of those 7 road matches here in Houston over his time with the Galaxy. So the attendance numbers would inflate with folks here in town going out to watch him and him alone, and he was not even in the Stadium. I recall the Sports AM radio jockeys would go long on the 'Beckham Game" when it got closer to the fixture. That this one game was the hook to get them into Robertson Stadium for their first ever Houston Dynamo game. To which I called in one morning and stated, well putting our team is now a two time Champions for our great city, if the Beckham draw has got you as a so called sports expert so excited let's discuss this pro soccer player in more depth, and why you must be so ramped up to come out to see him over the city's team you live in. I just calmly spoke to Craig and Craig that morning and called out the first Craig that he ought to get outta his house more often. I told him that David Beckham is not all that fast, does not head the ball well, does not tackle well, certainly does not track back on cover as a middie normally does and uses his left foot just for standing on. But other than that he is a World Class right sided midfielder! HAHA!!! That got Craig Roberts to chuckle! Made fun of his partner after that for having a man crush on Bex.
He played in the afternoon game in like April or May in BBVA, maybe first season of the stadium but I think 2nd season, and complained heavily afterwards about how stupid it was to play an afternoon game and that the conditions were intolerable. If I recall, at least one player had to be taken to the hospital with dehydration (may have been him).
