On a media call earlier this week to talk about the start of the 2021 season, FC Dallas President Dan Hunt responded to my question about expectations for the club ahead of their opening game of the season against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
I asked, “What are the markers in your mind for success this season as a club on the field and then likewise off the field? What would have you look back and be very satisfied with 2021 for FC Dallas?”
What is interesting is that Dan Hunt began his media session by remarking on how FC Dallas’ 2021 squad reminds him of the 2016 FC Dallas squad, one of Dallas’ most successful squads winning both the Lamar Hunt Open Cup and the Supporter’s Shield that season.
