FC Dallas, home to the best fan tradition in DFW

This weekend sees the best fan tradition in DFW, if not all sports, take place - the 24 Hour Tailgate at Toyota Stadium. For the past 11 years, since the stadium opened in 2005, fans have marked the first game in this way. At 2pm today, fans began to gather in the northeast lot before the Hoops (can we use that name again now?) take on the Philadelphia Union as part of Sunday's MLS first kick. The tradition dates from the very first game at Pizza Hut Park, as FC Dallas drew 2-2 with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars.
