All. While I don't really want you all to take my prime standing room spot, just a suggestion that the last few times I have been to a game at FCD stadium, there has been a nice breeze in the beer garden/supporters section over on the north end of the stadium. There will likely be a light crowd so this is a nice way to experience the game. You can always go find some seats if you don't like that perspective. Not a great picture of the section, but here it is. The players come in and out of the locker rooms just to the right of this section, so you all can say lean over and give them a high five or a nice hello.  |

At the Columbus game last year I sat in all of the stands for a few minutes. Love the way you can walk all around. Presume it's similar at dallas |

Yep, the beer garden/stage has that standing room behind a small row of bleachers that angle down towards the field. If there is an especially light crowd they will let you sit there, but its fine just to get right behind the bleachers and stand. Need an ID to enter the area but anyone can go.
You can stay in that area (beer and restrooms -- may be some food) or just walk around. There may be a Guiness station right up the staircase that leads down to the beer garden - they might not let you bring your Guiness back into the beer garden area so be careful. Also, if you walk around the stadium to the area right above the small scoreboard on the photo (southwest corner of stadium) there is a stand that haves a few other non-American, non-Mexican beers.
May be a good deal less vendors if ticket sales haven't been all that great.
Houston does a much better job of getting fans in the seats, but I am hopeful that this being on Saturday evening, with no national team playing, will lead to a decent Sat nite crowd.
Weather looking relatively promising, if a bit muggy.

Love the way you can walk all around. Presume it's similar at dallas Yeah, until the second half, when we will cordon anyone wearing a Stoke shirt into a beer-free section on the south end of the stadium, surrounded by police, and make them wait an hour after the game before they can leave. For their own protection. [****Edit: Please note that the above is completely and totally tongue in cheek. Dallas fans will be friendly and curious about Stoke fans, especially if you have an accent. There are very few visible police at any FCD games.****] |

Humidity in the 90% range at that time. Looks like excellent beer drinking weather to me! |

Hopefully a stream will appear for this one too so we can properly have a look at the new style and new players.
