5 Reasons You Should Be An FC Dallas Fan
Note: the title of this post is interchangeable with “5 Reasons You Should, Without A Doubt, Be Going To The FC Dallas Season Opener This Saturday”.
5. Record Attendance Numbers
If you follow the local sports media, you would never guess that there’s a top-tier professional soccer team in DFW. The Frisco club FC Dallas averaged over 14,000 attendees per game last season, up from under 12,000 in 2010-2011 and well under 11,000 the year before that. That’s a whopping 24% attendance increase in just two years — impressive for an organization in their 18th year of existence.

The Perot Museum Is Officially Open (ft. Nifty Time Lapse)
Another day in the life of Downtown Dallas landmark grand openings — and this time, it’s the Perot Museum’s turn. After three years of construction and wondering how that angled elevator was going to fit into the final structure, the museum is finally opening its doors.
Tickets should be available throughout the day, but be prepared to be admitted in 30-minute intervals. In honor of its grand opening, doors will be open until midnight tonight (December 1). Admission is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students (age 12-17), and $10 for children (age 2-11).
