It's been a while since we had a Saturday night at Toyota Stadium, but FC Dallas is finally back at home against Real Salt Lake! Here are the 10 things to know about Saturday's big game:
1. #FCDvRSL is presented by Dr Pepper and they've got free FC Dallas koozies for the first 5,000 fans through the gates! It's summer and an FC Dallas koozie makes you the coolest kid at the pool so arrive early and get yours!
2. We're excited to have Dallas Cowboys safety Byron Jones scarfing the Lamar Hunt Statue! The 2015 first round draft pick is one of the Cowboys rising young stars and you'll want to be at Lamar's Tailgate at 6:30PM for the ceremony.
3. Speaking of timing, don't forget Saturday's match kicks off at 7:00PM, an hour earlier than our normal 8:00PM start time! Since we're getting done earlier, why not stop by the WinStar River Club after the game and check out the live Toyota Post-Game show!
4.
We've now entered the second half of the season and Saturday's match is a big one in the standings. Just one point separates FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake in 2nd and 3rd in the MLS standings and FCD can move back within a point of the top spot in the league with a win.
5. Olivia Brestal has designed a sick match poster for #FCDvRSL and the only place to get it is the team store at the game!
6. Speaking of team store, stop by and check out the June Scarf of the Month dedicated to the #TexasDerby trophy, El Capitan! It's $10 off during the match so up your scarf game!
7. We're playing at the same time as US Soccer's Copa America third place match against Colombia so we're going to have some fun with it. If FC Dallas wins and USA wins, you get a complimentary bonus ticket to one of our CCL matches! Your FCD ticket has to be scanned for entry to be eligible.
8. It seems like a long time since we've had a game without rain threatening things, but Saturday is clear and sunny! It's going to certainly be toasty but that just creates a bigger home field advantage for our boys!
9. Can't make it to the match? Watch live on TXA21 with Mark Followill & Daniel Robertson on the call and don't forget to catch the Toyota post-game show on Facebook Live after the match.
