FRISCO, Texas — Rain may have pushed back kickoff at Toyota Stadium, but FC Dallas supporters have stayed locked in and loyal, waiting patiently under the overcast skies for their club to take the pitch against the San Jose Earthquakes.

With thunder rumbling and a storm system lingering over North Texas, the match saw an initial delay as officials monitored conditions. Despite the wait, fans packed into the stands in impressive numbers, braving the elements with ponchos, umbrellas, and unwavering energy.

The stakes for FC Dallas are growing with each game. Entering tonight's matchup, the club sits two spots outside of playoff contention in the Western Conference. Houston Dynamo, a key rival and the team currently holding the spot just ahead of Dallas, is playing Minnesota United this evening — a result that could directly impact the playoff chase.

FC Dallas knows that every point counts from here on out. With the playoff picture tightening and the season's second half in full swing, the team's push for postseason relevance depends on results like tonight.

As the rain lightens and anticipation builds, fans remain hopeful that the weather — and the season — will turn in FC Dallas’ favor.
