Houston Dynamo, BBVA Compass Reach Multi-Year, Naming Rights Agreement for Houston Dynamo's New Stadium
HOUSTON (Wednesday, Dec.

So after reading yesterday about Dynamo co-owner Oscar De La Hoya providing a bus for supporters' groups to get to the MLS Cup Final this weekend (link here), I got to wondering just how well-provisioned that bus was going to be. I mean, was every Dynamo supporter on board going to have the necessaries, the things that would make this a truly memorable and enjoyable experience?

The 2011 MLS Cup Final at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California is only days away, and with the Houston Texans on a NFL bye week, the Dynamo have been feeling the love in their home city. On Wednesday evening a rally was held in Houston for the Dynamo before their departure to California.

I recently received an email from a Houston Dynamo fan, who informed me of a little predicament regarding partial owner Oscar De La Hoya. I recommend you read this one for yourself:

"Backstory:
As the MLS Cup approaches, there remains a large segment of dedicated Dynamo supporters who have worked hard over the season to support the team but are not able to cover travel expenses to LA.

Well this story is certainly interesting...or something.

According to The Ring, Dynamo minority owner Oscar de la Hoya admitted posing for pictures wearing women's lingerie while under the influence of cocaine and alcohol.

Oscar De La Hoya's rock bottom included alcohol and cocaine abuse.

On a beautiful sunny Saturday Afternoon in downtown Houston, a big festival was forming while dignitaries from MLS, City of Houston, State of Texas and the members of the Dynamo were all on a stage showing everyone what will entail for this 22,000 seat stadium that will be ready for the 2012 season.

The Houston Dynamo broke ground on their stadium on Saturday, an event which prompted some wistful stadium-related musings from me in the days prior. In a general sense, things are pretty good for us when it comes to soccer stadiums. Specifically, Houston's new digs (opening in 2012) could very well put that city over the top as the leading soccer town in the country.

HOUSTON Houston Dynamo minority owner Oscar De La Hoya joined city and county officials Saturday at the groundbreaking for the team's $95 million, soccer-specific stadium. The 22,000-seat venue is situated near downtown within walking distance of Minute Maid Park, the Toyota Center and the city's massive convention center.

Here are some photos from today's groundbreaking ceremony on the Houston Dynamo's new downtown stadium.

At last, the shovels are in the dirt and construction can begin on the Houston Dynamo's new downtown stadium. It's been a long time coming for ownership, staff and fans and all the speed bumps, delays and political debates are over. All that matters now is that this time next year, we'll be preparing to open a beautiful new soccer stadium in Houston.

Tonight, all Dynamo fans need to remember what the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy taught us...Don't Panic.

Yes the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Dynamo Stadium that was scheduled for Saturday has been postponed. Yes this is an unfortunate bummer but the project is safe, the stadium will be built, and the Dynamo will have a new home in 2012.
