More than 25,000 fans converged on Robertson Stadium on April 2, 2006 for what turned out to be one of the most memorable games in Houston Dynamo history as the Dynamo made their debut in their new home town.
After a whirlwind four-month buildup that started with an announcement in December that the San Jose Earthquakes franchise would be relocated to Houston and included a name and logo launch (and then subsequent re-launch), the team and the city were still just getting to know one another. The crowd left with a lasting impression that featured a four-goal performance from Brian Ching and a late bicycle kick from Alejandro Moreno, and a lasting relationship was quickly born.
