So legit it's got a sponsor

This coming Saturday, March 25th, FC Dallas will be taking on the Kansas City Wizards in their final pre-season tune-up in the inaugural Saturn Challenge Cup - Oklahoma City to be played at the intimidating confines of Moore HS Stadium in the OKC suburb to the south on I-35.

I'm excited about the game if for no other reason that it's always nice not to have to drive 3 hours to go see an MLS game. My hope is that since this is the final match before the start of the MLS season that we'll get to see some starters like Ruiz for FCD and Johnson and Wolff for KC play. I'm not holding my breath but I'll try to find out what the rosters and likely starters will be of both teams for the game.

I'm also excited for this game because my wife and I will be taking our niece and nephew (3 and 4 years old respectively) to their first ever soccer, let alone MLS, game. We plan on hitting the pre-game festival that will be going on starting at 1pm and then the game. Should have a blast.

On a side note I went by the stadium yesterday and the field is in pristine condition and should be excellent for both teams to play on. The grounds crew has done a fantastic job with it.
