FC Dallas returns to the Fortress Frisco on Sunday to host Vancouver Whitecaps FC in another huge Western Conference matchup as we get closer and closer to the MLS Cup Playoffs. FCD will be looking to extend their lead at the top of MLS against a side that has never won in Frisco. Here are the ten things to know before heading to Toyota Stadium:
1. Sunday's match is presented by Toyota and they'll have free red and white facepaint sticks for the first 5,000! Show up early to get yours!
2. We're honoring our Academy National Champions at the Lamar Hunt Statue scarfing on Sunday as Jesus Ferreira from the U-16s and Brandon Terwege from the U-18s will be joint-scarfing the LH Statue! Show up at 4:30 to help celebrate our young stars.
3. A brand new Scarf of the Month is out honoring our fearless leader Oscar Pareja and we're releasing it a day early on July 31st at the game tomorrow! Stop by the team store to get yours!
