As the Portland Timbers head to Texas for the first leg of the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Semifinal against the Houston Dynamo on Monday (6:30pm PT, FS1), they'll have some familiar support. The Lone Star Brigade–the Timbers Army’s regional supporters group in Texas–will be there to cheer on their Timbers. With the Houston Astros hosting the LA Dodgers in Major League Baseball's World Series this weekend at Minute Maid Park and the Timbers battling the Dynamo on Monday, there's a distinct buzz in the air.
Including Timbers supporters from across the state, the Lone Star Brigade has been known to show up in force in Portland road matches in both Houston and Dallas.
