Don't think the salary cap really matters since Houston has the lowest payroll in the entire league.

I’ve been saying for years the Dynamo are one of the sleeping giants of MLS if they get the right ownership. The team were consistent title contenders from 2006 to 2012. Things went downhill when Phil Anschutz had to sell his majority stake to be in compliance with league ownership rules. The team’s current owners are cheap, unambitious, and incompetent. The fanbase has dwindled in response.

Houston has a perfect stadium location most MLS teams can only dream of and fertile recruiting grounds for their academy that they’ve failed to capitalize on.

If they start conducting themselves like a big-market team instead of a bargain bin operation, they’ll be one of the league’s biggest teams in no time. All it will take is better ownership, and hopefully Harden can be a part of that. Maybe he’ll even get the Rockets owner involved. I think any owner who invests in the Dynamo and builds them back to greatness will be very happy with their investment 10-15 years from now.

Houston Dynamo seriously should be a perennial contender without breaking a sweat, but goodness gracious that ownership group is so bad. All they are doing is waiting for that valuation to go up and then sell. They need an SKC type ownership to takeover. KC was floundering under the Hunts, who currently own FC Dallas, and they had to divest. FC Dallas should be sold out every game cuz they are fun to watch plus they churn out talent.

The team does absolutely nothing to promote itself. I have several friends that live there that say it’s pretty easy to forget the team even exists since they have zero local presence despite the stadium being great, etc.

They definitely had it going on for a while there. Seeing that made me want an mls team I could get behind and ATL came a long.

It makes me sad everytime. We don't even really bother scouting anywhere but Central and South America because the players are cheaper there.

They're going to be forced to sell Elis soon too, and I'm sure the ownership group will do everything possible to not spend any of it on the team.

Meanwhile the ownership group is raising ticket prices for the 5th straight season, it almost cost as much to go to a Dynamo game as it does an Astros.
