It was a beautiful, crisp cool morning at Robertson Stadium today for the Dynamo season ticket holder event.
A great mix of fans were treated to up close and personal interaction between fans and players. Not to mention an exhibition game against Montreal.
Again, I marvel at the amazing mix of passionate fans representing all types of groups enjoying the soccer atmosphere with like minded individuals.
My thanks to all those that came up and introduced themselves to me. It is great to connect with such passionate fans.
I also must tell you it was great to be amongst you.

Ok, on to the game the Dynamo won 3-2 and Brian Ching scored twice including an outstanding header to add to a 9th minute goal from Chris Wondoloski.
Good to see the big man Ching hit hit the net a few times prior to the Tuesday match against Atlante.
Dynamo manager Dominic Kinnear used mixed lineups allowing a number of reserves to get significant minutes but also gave quality minutes to those regulars expected to get the majority of the playing time this Tuesday in Cancun.
An elbow throw by former Colorado Rapid Roberto Brown on Eric Ustruck emptied the benches.
Manager Dominic Kinnear and owner OSCAR DE LA HOYA addressed the crowd after the game.
