Houston Dynamo Tickets: Historical Overview

The Houston Dynamo was created in 2006 as an expansion franchise in Major League Soccer (MLS).  However, the Dynamo was a unique expansion squad. While most expansion teams aren't able to land established star players, the Houston franchise was in a different situation. The Dynamo began with the roster from the San Jose Earthquakes team that was put on hiatus following the 2005 season. This enabled Houston to get off to a solid start in the league with four consecutive postseason appearances.

Currently, the squad competes at Robertson Stadium (capacity of 32,000) on the campus of the University of Houston. The community has warmly greeted the arrival of the Dynamo, and the franchise has averaged more than 17,000 fans per game at home in its brief history.

Houston Dynamo Tickets: Memorable Highlights

Houston was certainly in a good position to enjoy some early success. The San Jose Earthquakes had captured MLS championships in 2001 and 2003. With many of those Earthquakes players now competing for the Dynamo, Houston was able to reach the MLS Cup in 2006.  With many fans making the trip across the state to Frisco, Texas, the Dynamo won a penalty shootout against the New England Revolution to claim the title.

In the following year, the two franchises would once again square off in the MLS Cup. At RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., Houston was able to repeat as MLS champions with a 2-1 triumph.

Several players have stood out for the Dynamo in the last few years. Brian Ching won MVP honors in Houston's first MLS Cup victory. He is the all-time franchise leader in goals and game-winning goals. On defense, Pat Onstad has excelled for the Dynamo. The former Houston goalie is the all-time leader in games, shutouts, saves and wins for the team. Dwayne De Rosario is another former standout for the Dynamo. He won the MVP in the 2007 MLS Cup for Houston.
