I had so much fun at the game yesterday. Especially the energy from the cheer/coaching section of young girl soccer fans in Section 24. Number 1 refrain "WHO'S HELPING HER!" not to mention "Let's Go Trinity". I love all the fans and the wonderful staff working the stadium.

WHO ARE WE?! DTFC!

I'm not SUPER worried because I know Trinity's ownership group has expressed wanting to be a Dallas team in Dallas, but maybe writing this post is just me mentally preparing myself for a possible future disappointment. lol.

Stadiums aren't cheap. When all that talk of a USLC team coming to Fort Worth was going on years ago the stated presumption was that their stadium would house both a USLC team and the region's USL Super League team. I assume that makes financial sense to split the burden that way.

The stadium never materialized and we never got that Fort Worth team, but we eventually got our Super League team, and we know the Cotton Bowl is not a permanent home. I'm sure ownership is thinking every day about where they're going to land after the lease runs out, and I just worry the financial reality might butt heads with their goal of remaining in Dallas, and Garland will be deemed "Dallas enough" since it's in Dallas County.

The Garland USLC team is expected to play in 2027. Dallas Trinity FC's agreement for the cotton bowl is for 2 years with an option for additional seasons if they need it. If the USLC team agrees to share their stadium that timing lines up pretty well for Trinity to have a possible home ready for them in Garland when their time at the cotton bowl is up.

I'm sure this wouldn't be a huge deal for many folks, it's still in Dallas county after all. I'm mostly expressing panic for myself lmao. Getting to fire wheel or downtown Garland would actually take me just as long or longer than going up to Frisco for FC Dallas games, despite my living inside Dallas county (I'm more towards the midcities side). So this is more a me problem than anything else, but I have genuinely appreciated the team embracing being a Dallas team in Dallas and I just hope that continues. It's the closest soccer I have and their location has enabled me to go to more games in a season already than I ever could for FC Dallas.

I'm probably worrying over nothing, but I'm trying to put it out into the ether: Please don't leave Dallas proper. 😭

I have to say, it's one of the nicest looking, high quality jerseys I've ever owned, and I've owned over 100 so that should say something. Also the handwritten note accompanying the jersey is a nice personal touch.

It looks like the team is getting back from that spate of injuries with only Maya Gordon, Haley Berg, and Maja Henriksson listed as out for tomorrow's game. I saw Enzi Broussard and Chioma Ubogagu at training yesterday, and coach said other than the three long-term injuries they're good to go.

Got my game day sign ready for next game!

Who’s gonna be there today? Nice and overcast and 78!

Evan and Kiara in the starting lineup! We got the W! Onto the semis!

Watching us play Carolina, it was clear we were the stronger team. We just need to tighten up our defense, especially in transition—that’s where we’re really getting hurt. Our offense has been fantastic, but if we can finish more of our chances, we could easily double our goal-scoring output.

It's a catchy little dance pop track with "D-T-F-C" throughout. They've played it a couple times in stadium, but I can't find it anywhere on the team's socials. I swear it seems as if the marketing team is intentionally trying to mess this thing up.
