Houston Dynamo's first game in the new stadium BBVA Compass Saturday, marking the end of a day you've had in San Jose, a pair of MLS Cup and a long-term lease. It is a journey very MLS
Beckham was good, but we must give credit to the bricks. Construction is more vital than the celebrity with the growth of MLS and is a reminder Saturday afternoon Houston Dynamo DC United receives new hotel in the league.
When moving the Montreal Impact at Saputo Stadium renewed this summer, fifteen teams from the MLS nineteen play in stadiums built or renovated for football since 1999, when the curtain looked at Crew Stadium Columbus.
more than $ 1.7 billion has been invested in these areas, mainly through public-private financing. Dynamo House, a proposed $ 95 million with a capacity of 22,000 people, is the site of the third largest soccer specific and the center of the majority.
BBVA Compass Stadium is just a mile from downtown in the fourth largest city in the United States. Amble from Minute Maid Park and Toyota Center on Highway Eastex - yes, some Houstonians run - around the horizon and an acceptable version of Manhattan, near the George R. whereas Brown Convention Center has a dubious identity theft Centre Pompidou
Here in the blocks surrounding the Dynamo, the center of wealth and brightness decays at low altitude and low-rent East End, a jumble of warehouses, vacant lots, new buildings and apartments restaurant and bar bizarre. On investment, and a tram line to come. One day can be just as shabby-chic Montrose, Houston trend.
The stadium has a triple play: social, financial symbolic. Dynamo become a strong franchise, the league has a powerful emblem of your journey to the heart of American sports landscape and gains East End as a catalyst to accelerate the transfer of down-and-out back and forth.
"I think the Dynamo stadium will help revitalize the region," said Glenn Davis, a local radio station. "I've seen reports that will generate thousands of jobs. Gives people the confidence to go and build houses and make an effort with businesses. Whether he will not turn overnight, but it will not be a slowdown healthy there. "
It was a long wait. Dynamo moved to Houston from San Jose for the 2006 season, precisely by the failure of earthquakes to build a new stadium immediately win back-to-back championships and MLS itself as a strong and prosperous if unstarry , franchise down the skillful management Kinnear, born in Scotland Dominica.
Since becoming a Texan, the date Dynamo had borrowed 28,000 capacity Robertson Stadium on the campus of the University of Houston, three miles south of downtown, in a neighborhood of the city that gave fans reason to stay.
"We must be firm in the center. I had the opportunity to build in the suburbs, probably thanks to public money and that probably would have happened before, but it was very clear that we had to be downtown, so he stayed, and he is perfectly work, "said Chris Canetti, president of commercial operations, looking proudly on the main stand seats in orange enough to make a smile Netherlands.
- The city and county provided $ 35 million for land acquisition and infrastructure improvements and club owners financed the $ 60 million construction costs were partially offset by 20 million, ten-year naming rights contract for BBVA Compass, a U.S. subsidiary of a Spanish bank.
the sale of season tickets have doubled since last year, to 12,000. With the Astros in the reconstruction (ie lose) mode and the sellout crowd on Saturday, highlighting the potential to regulate sellouts this year, the Dynamo should be just behind the Houston Texans NFL in the average assistance between the teams of the city.
last year MLS Cup runner-up in the middle of the table are in the Eastern Conference, but before Wednesday's game against the New York Red Bulls have only played six games, all on the road. Dynamo hope that their new home will be an immediate benefit, with a design that puts fans close to the field turbulent summer weather and sweat makes the city feel like a cave in the oven.
