Hoops bid to host MLS Cup 2006

Almost a month after hosting 2005 MLS Cup, the FC Dallas front office continues to receive complimentary feedback from fans via email, mail and phone calls on their experiences on Nov 13.


Stemming from all of the excitement and overwhelming feedback from fans, FC Dallas, Pizza Hut Park, the City of Frisco and Collin County have proudly submitted their bid to host the 2006 MLS Cup to the MLS front office.


To help share in the excitement, FC Dallas bought and delivered lunch - Pizza Hut pizzas - for the entire MLS office in New York.


"We are extremely proud of what we accomplished on November 13th at MLS Cup," said FC Dallas General Manager Michael Hitchcock. "It was an unbelievable team effort between Major League Soccer and FC Dallas to host one of the most successful MLS Cups in league history.


"So as a token of our appreciation, as well as a part of our bid to host MLS Cup again next year, we thought that it would be an appropriate gesture to provide the league staff with hot Pizza Hut pizza during the World Cup draw. We want to host this unbelievable event again in 2006 and thought that it would be fitting to share a slice of pepperoni pizza with the league staff before we all share another slice of soccer at Pizza Hut Park on November 12 at MLS Cup 2006."
