That was a good warmup match. Nice to see the guys out there again.
The new keeper saved a penalty kick. Also made two other really good saves.

FRISCO, Texas (Tuesday, Feb. 23) – FC Dallas fans will be treated to a doubleheader at Toyota Stadium on Sunday, March 6, as the FC Dallas reserves will face USL affiliate Oklahoma City Energy FC immediately following the first team’s match against the Philadelphia Union.

Tickets for the doubleheader start at $26 and can be purchased at www.fcdallas.com or by calling 469.365.0000.

Presented by AdvoCare, FC Dallas’ season-opening match against the Union is set to kick off at 2 p.m. The reserve match against the Energy will begin at approximately 4:15 p.m. The second match of the doubleheader will feature players on FC Dallas’ supplemental roster as well as the rising stars of the FC Dallas Academy.

Team is not off to a good start with me this year, as we were informed today the Green Club is being moved under the west stands...WTF

Whats the green club?

The tent on the SE corner next to where the Grid sits behind goal. We usually spent half the game in our seats and then when we were shooting at that goal we would move down to the tent. Now moving the club under the stands is kinda pointless and in my eyes not a perk anymore with our tickets.

Grid moved to the North end zone and they were setting up the Green Club tent in South end zone. Not sure where they would set it up under the west stands.

That's not the Green Club in the south end zone now.

Laurendi was a beast tonight. Defense failed more than several times and he made some amazing saves.

Great turnout and atmosphere for a preseason game.

Except for those lettuce hands he had in their second goal.

I read that it was a sell-out and over 7,000 people there. True?

7,075

What I mean is reported number and number who actually show up are quite different. I'm asking did it feel like there were really that many people there? If so that's surprising with the biggest Thunder game of the year in town.

I think all season ticket holders automatically got a ticket to this game, so that probably helped "push" the ticket total higher.

There were some empty seats and I have no idea what the official gate count would be, but it felt very well attended in my opinion. It really didn't feel like a "one month before the regular season even starts pre-season friendly".

12362

The Energy FC attendance has been impressive over the last six events held at Taft; many games attracted 6,000 or more. A local TV contract could drive up ticket sales with its popularity .

Oklahoma City metropolitan area with the USL & the NASL is transitioning. Great time for our community soccer fans. Personally think that there's room for both leagues to prosper in OKC.

FINAL OKC Energy 1 Omaha Mavericks 1.Pre-Season is over time to get ready for the home opener next Saturday against Colorado Springs FC 7:00 PM on KSBI

Not sure if anybody is into podcasts but there is one focused on the energy and just started their second season of recording. The first episode is already up if anybody is interested. The second episode will feature Micheal Thomas the Captain of the Energy and will probably be up later this week.

MATCHDAY! Let's go you Greens!!!

Dropped the season opener 2-1 tonight. Looked flat in the first half but finally got the ball in the net and continued the pressure hard for the final 35 minutes. We'll be alright. Bring on Saint Louis FC.

When does borchard come and gloat about the loss?

Has seen borchard posted anything on this thread.

By the way, the crowd looked great; appeared to be in the 6,000 range. USL official site won't have the official attendance until tomorrow. Does anyone know was the official attendance for the opener?

Tonight attendance 5,646 remember we had OU and Thunder played tonight so there could be some people deiced to stayed home and watch OKC and OU play

Good opening nite crowd when you consider that the Thunder played the Spurs (18,203) and OU beat Oregon on National TV to advance to the Final Four.

I can't find a TV schedule for these guys. When's their next appearance on KSBI?

Thanks. Does the organization hand out some kind of printed schedule with games denoted for KSBI appearances and if not can you post the rest of the TV dates on here?

I watched on KSBI and tbh, the stream was just as bad as last year on youtube. Very low quality compared to what you'd expect a professional organization to put out. Looked like I was watching the high school football playoffs.

I'm sure that all the NRG critics will have just as much grace if the Rayo crowd is just 5,000 on Saturday. :cool:

Third-tier team gets third-tier TV. NASL is on HD on Cox and a few national partners to be announced. #elevate

All of the home games will be televised on KSBI and all games will be on YouTube. I think Griffin (owners of KSBI) are going to work with the Roughnecks so that the games in Tulsa will also be televised on KSBI and KOTV in Tulsa.

Borchard's alter ego is back. :D

Borchard's alter ego is back. :D

Sorry, bro. I'm my own man and I'm pumped about this team. Enjoy watching lower league soccer on KSBI. I can't hear you over the NASL signing another national broadcasting deal.

I thought we all agreed that we would keep the **** talking about the other teams out of these threads?

I don't think that was agreed to. Because Energy fans dont want to back up the **** they talked in Dec Jan Feb abotu Rayo. Now we have a team, players, TV deals, stadium and fans and they are backing down.
DOnt think that's true, check your archives or talk to your homeboys from Da Grid.

I think you're going to find quickly that this isn't a sh*t talking site. There are other spaces online for that and Pete is likely just going to end up banning you. More than that, you keep referencing all Energy fans as if they're one entity, which they're not. Instead you're likely just alienating a lot of people that actually didn't have any dog in the fight and might have been Rayo fans also...

^Don't worry, he was already banned. It was only a matter of time.

Anyway, I don't know how I feel about our new keeper, he was way way too far off his line for that. Not sure what the hell he was thinking going out for that. Don't know if he just doesn't have faith in his defenders or what but I don't even think Manuel Neuer would have come out that far for that.

Goal keepers sometimes have to make quick decisions. Just didn't see a lot of high energy play by the Energy FC in its opening match; despite the enthusiasm of the crowd. Let's hope they come out with more vigor; hate that they lost a home game they should have won.

Road wins, especially against the II cities (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Real Salt Lake, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, Kansas City) will be tough.

We don't play Toronto or New York. In fact we don't play against any of the Eastern Conference teams this season.

Just giving some examples of the competitive of the II teams who could potentially dominate the future of the USL. We do play the majority of the II teams mentioned.

Just concerned about the direction the USL is headed and the length of time our Oklahoma City Energy FC could have until our new MLS affiliate decides it's more to their advantage to have their own USL II team in the Dallas-Fort Worth or Frisco area.

How long did our affiliation last with Sporting Kansas City?
