August 27, 2019 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
FC Dallas News Release
Our primary goal at Toyota Stadium is to ensure the safety and security of all fans, guests and visiting supporters who attend FC Dallas matches.
During the FC Dallas/Houston Dynamo match on Sunday, August 25, 2019 at Toyota Stadium there were a number of incidents involving fans of both teams, including physical altercations among the Houston supporters as well as incidents involving FC Dallas fans.
After consulting with the visiting supporters' liaison and Soccer Security Agent as well as local law enforcement, Toyota Stadium security and the Dynamo supporters' representative mutually agreed it was in the best interest of all parties involved that the visiting supporters be escorted from the stadium.
This decision was made in the 76th minute of the match. The exit process began in the 80th minute of the match. The visiting supporters loaded onto their buses without incident.
