After nearly a month away from home, FC Dallas is back at Toyota Stadium tonight for a crucial 2015 playoff rematch against Western Conference rivals Portland Timbers FC. Here are the ten things you need to know before heading to Toyota Stadium.
1. We're honoring our 2016 FC Dallas Youth graduating class with nearly 100 seniors graduating to play soccer on scholarships and two of our FCDY seniors, Landon Plunkett & Jayden Wheeler, will be scarfing the Lamar Hunt Statue! Arrive early at 7:30 for that ceremony.
2. Speaking of arriving early, we encourage all fans to arrive early with new security measures in place for the first time. We do not anticipate these to majorly affect your ingress into Toyota Stadium but it's always good to arrive early. Remember, it's all about your safety.
3. Chase is recognizing their small business partner Sports Clips tonight and they'll be on-site in Lamar's Tailgate offering fan massages and handing out coupons. Swing on by the north concourse and get all relaxed before tonight's big game!

Chase card holders can now purchase popcorn in concession stands # 1, 3, and 9 for $2 for all remaining FCD home games(click here for the stadium concession map).
5. We're looking to chop down the Timbers for the second time this season after defeating them 3-1 at Providence Park earlier this year. Mauro Diaz is back and our match poster features the Argentine maestro. Snag one in the team store.
6. Tonight's opponents, the 2015 MLS Cup champs, are the only team in MLS without a shutout this year and they're coming off a frustrating loss in Vancouver on Saturday. Read up on the Timbers.
