One year after hosting large crowds for the inaugural SuperLiga, Houston Dynamo tickets for this year's SuperLiga are now available, the team announced Monday.
A special SuperLiga ticket package will be available in an exclusive early period that begins May 26 so that fans can guarantee their seat to watch the Dynamo take on Mexican powers Atlante (July 12) and Chivas de Guadalajara (July 15).
Fans can purchase SuperLiga tickets as part of five-game mini-plans that include popular Dynamo games against the Chicago Fire (Aug. 31) and Los Angeles Galaxy (Oct. 18) and the team's first playoff game. Mini-plans start at $85 and can be purchased by calling the Dynamo offices or by logging on to =HoustonDynamo.com.
SuperLiga, now in its second season, pits the top four teams from Mexico against the top four teams from Major League Soccer in an eight-team tournament, with teams competing for a $1 million championship prize.
After reaching the semifinals last year and drawing more than 62,000 fans in the process, the two-time defending MLS Cup champion Dynamo have been placed in Group A with 2007 Mexican Apertura champion Atlante; 2006 Mexican Apertura champion Chivas de Guadalajara; and 2007 MLS Supporters' Shield winner D.C. United.
Group B features Chivas USA, the New England Revolution, defending champion Pachuca, and Santos Laguna. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semifinals July 29-30, with the 2008 SuperLiga champion crowned August 5.
The Houston Dynamo will face FC Dallas on the road Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m., and the game can be seen on Channel 55 and Channel 43 and heard on 790 The Sports Animal and 850 La Ranchera. The Dynamo's next home game is May 31 against the New York Red Bulls. For more information, call (713) 276-2500 or log on to =HoustonDynamo.com.
