Yes. FCD has the fewest number of season ticket holders of any MLS club. The ones that show up are diehard fanatics but there are not many of them. Apparently the ownership of Clark Hunt has not done a good job of bonding with the supporters.


They are fricking horrible when it comes to fan outreach, advertising, ticket sales, merchandising... pretty much anything that involves running a team they are terrible at. It almost feels like they look for ways to drive fans away. Being locked into stadium up in Frisco doesn't help matters as that area is a huge pain in the arse to get to for a good chunk of DFW.

Their latest cock up announcing massive ticket price increases around the stadium w/o initially telling anyone why or what they were for. Free parking and tailgating seems to also be ending which really sucks considering all the tolls most people have to pay to get out there.

Anyway, a few weeks later they announced they are building the National Soccer HOF into the stadium. More premium seats will be made and some more cover from the sun should be built but w/that comes the loss of many of the cheaper seats.

Now had they announced the ticket price increases along w/the stadium renovations they could have saved themselves a lot of grief from the few season ticket holders they do have.


All that said, the renovation plans do look cool. This being the Hunt's, I won't hold my breath for it to turn out the way they claim but if they do it will be nice.

Zero doubt that the Frisco High School football games bring in more money than the FC Dallas games. So you're saying kick out the higher earner? Not likely. If you have any stadium, no matter how big in this state you're sharing it for some kind of high school football. Whether it's playoffs or state championships.

The city of Frisco technically owns the stadium and leases it to FCD. FCD is trapped there until like 2037 or some bullshite.

Wow. Thanks for that insight. Puts FCD at a serious disadvantage v. NYRB imo. Everything is SRO in Harrison from this point forward.

I was a little chapped as well. mainly because that last goal was utter bullshite. but Pajera will turn the kids loose. I don't see any reason why we can't make up a 2 goal defecit. might have to actually sit on the ball a little more. it's tough to play from behind when you're not possessing the rock
