Dallas, Texas - FC Dallas and Pizza Hut Park will officially unveil the inaugural class of the Texans Credit Union Walk of Fame on Saturday evening at 5:30 p.m. (CDT), prior to the FC Dallas regular season finale against the Kansas City Wizards at 7:30 p.m. The ceremony will begin at the North End of the Walk of Fame before working its way toward the stadium, and will be open to the public.

  • These five moments in history, and all others that will follow in the coming years, will be recognized through a marker that will be placed along the Walk of Fame in addition to the monuments that will honor the local soccer legends who are enshrined.
