COMMERCE CITY, Colo. - The Colorado Rapids will be inducting former defender Drew Moor into their Gallery of Honor at halftime of the club's match against FC Dallas on Saturday, July 8, at DICK'S Sporting Goods Park (7:30 p.m. MT). Moor's name and number will be unveiled among the club's all-time greats above the stadium's west stands as part of the ceremony. Additionally, the club will be giving out Moor bobbleheads to the first 1,000 fans in attendance, as well as offering commemorative posters for sale.

Moor becomes just the seventh inductee into the Rapids' Gallery of Honor, joining the likes of club greats Marcelo Balboa, Paul Bravo, Chris Henderson, John Spencer, Pablo Mastroeni and Conor Casey.

Moor, 39, began his MLS career in 2005 after being drafted sixth overall in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas from Indiana University where he won back-to-back NCAA National Championships in 2003 and 2004. The Dallas, Texas, native went on to spend five seasons with his hometown club before joining the Rapids via trade midway through the 2009 season.

Once in Colorado, Moor helped lead the Rapids to their first MLS Cup in 2010. The defender made 188 appearances during his first seven years at the club, recording 16,786 minutes, 14 goals and five assists while setting a league record for the most consecutive 90-minute matches played by a field player (68) in 2011 and being named to the MLS All-Star team in 2015.

After the 2015 season, Moor joined Toronto FC and went on to spend four years with the Canadian side, reaching three MLS Cup Finals and winning the 2017 MLS Cup along with the 2017 Supporters' Shield and the 2017 Canadian Championship-the first time in league history an MLS club won "The Treble." He won an additional two Canadian Championships (2016 & 2018) and was also part of the Toronto side that finished as runner-up of the 2018 Concacaf Champions League. In all, Moor made 90 appearances for Toronto, recording five goals and an assist during his four years with the Reds.

Moor returned to Colorado ahead of the 2020 season for his second stint in Burgundy, scoring the game-winning goal in a 2-1 Rapids win over Orlando City SC in his first home appearance. In 2021, Moor played 300 minutes across 12 matches, reaching his 400th career MLS appearance and his 200th appearance with Colorado, as the Rapids earned a club-record 61 points and finished atop the Western Conference for the first time in their history. In doing so, Moor became just the sixth field player in league history to reach 400 regular-season appearances. He retired following the 2022 season as the Rapids' second-highest leader in all-time regular-season appearances (210), games started (187), and minutes played (17,140), only behind club legend Pablo Mastroeni. In all, including the postseason, Moor logged 435 MLS appearances (393 starts), 35,940 minutes, 28 goals and eight assists across his 18-year MLS career.

In addition to his success at the club level, Moor also recorded five caps with the U.S. Men's National Team, including appearances in the 2007 Copa America.

Saturday will also feature the state's largest fireworks show after the game, which was rescheduled following inclement weather on the Fourth of July.
