Some people on Twitter were suggesting Deportivo Atletico Bears -> DA Bears.

Whatever they choose for the rebrand, I hope they maintain the team’s history (like Sporting KC have) and pick something a large portion of the fans approve of. Don’t go the route of the New Orleans Baby Cakes. Their new branding needs to be something soccer fans in Chicago are proud of.

Hope FC Dallas can get out of Frisco someday and move closer to the middle of the Dallas-FTW Metroplex, so they can reach their full potential. Mark Cuban is keeping an eye on the league. He might swoop in and buy the team at some point. There’s so much potential in Dallas.


Frisco keeps me away from games, but that area has blown the frick up.

And it’s all middle class and up who live up there for the most part. There is no need for them to move.

Seems like FC Dallas will reach the point soon where they sellout their 20K stadium by default just because people in Frisco want something to do on the weekend. That area is growing like crazy.

I just hope if FC Dallas stays in Frisco for the foreseeable future, they at least grow their TV viewership in the Dallas-FTW area. They do such a great job on the field, but really struggle off the field.

I know several soccer fans who live around Dallas that legitimately had no idea FC Dallas existed. Even if people know about the team, like you said, Frisco is just way too far of a drive for most fans in Dallas to go to games regularly.

This is so true my buddy is a big EPL fan and he was asking how my son's soccer season was (he plays for the FC Dallas developmental here in NWLA) and he asked me why we played for a Dallas club. He didn't even know Dallas was in the MLS, only Rooney in DC.

The problem with the Fire name is if you just type chicago fire in google you more than likely get the tv show.

I don't think you're being entirely fair. They've going to route of buying cheaper South/Central American talent and they've done well with finding cheap players that they'll be able to sell on for good money later. Alberth Elis (Honduras) and Mauro Manotas (Columbia) are both very good MLS players.
