Lamar Hunt Statue at Toyota Stadium
I went to my first FC Dallas (MLS) match last night. I had forgotten that Lamar Hunt was the original owner of FC Dallas and a big proponent of pro soccer in the states. There's a pretty impressive statue of him at Toyota Stadium (Frisco, TX). Before every home match they pay tribute to Lamar by inviting a special guest to place an FCD scarf around the statue's neck, hoping that LH's swag will give the home team an edge. The team is now owned by Clark Hunt.

I think the Hunts were more worried about a MLS championship than winning another Super Bowl in 40+ years.

They're actually usually pretty good. Their problem is attendance due to where they put the stadium, which is way out in the northern reaches of suburbia. It would take most of the metroplex an hour or more to get there in moderate traffic.

Why did they build a soccer stadium in the one part of the metroplex with no Mexicans?

I think the location is fine. Frisco is the fastest growing city in the US. The Cowboys are putting their headquarters there. There's tons of development and money and soccer is big there. The fanbase is getting bigger I think. |

They've eliminated the possibility of a lot of people attending games simply due to stadium location.
