Enjoy Major League Soccer at the Toyota Stadium in Frisco, TX

When it comes to soccer, Frisco, Texas is on the map with the Toyota Stadium. This is a stadium specifically designed for soccer, yet does have a stage located at one of the ends for concerts or shows. Mostly, the main stadium area is for watching its MLS home team: the FC Dallas soccer club.

Visitors can enjoy a MLS game in the 20,500 seating capacity stadium all throughout the summer and fall, as the FC Dallas soccer club plays 8 more home matches from July 4th through October 21, 2018. Visitors can also watch the FCS NCAA Division I Football Championship, Frisco ISD high school football games, a concert on October 20 for the National Soccer Hall of Fame induction weekend, and other various athletic and performance events.

As alluded to already, Toyota Stadium (formerly Pizza Hut Park 2005 – 2012) is also the site for the National Soccer Hall of Fame museum. This really puts Frisco on the soccer map, as MLS is the top league for the United States and Canada.

The Toyota Stadium complex also includes 17 regulation-size soccer fields outside the main stadium, which are used for practice, hosting soccer tournaments, youth tournaments, and more.

Although Toyota Stadium doesn't host very many concert events (one or two a year), the ones they do are worth attending. For this year, it's the Imagine Dragons for the induction weekend; last year and the year before it was Jimmy Buffett; they've also had: Garbage, Evanescence, and Kiss perform within the last 8 years.

This open-field soccer stadium destination is a great place for residents of Frisco to enjoy day or night.

Visitors can also shop at the fan shop or get involved with their academy, camps, youth programs, community events, and more.

The Following Leaders on Medium

I remember one distinct moment during a career development course at a community college I attended 21 years ago when the professor asked us to stand up and do an exercise. She asked the class to separate themselves into two groups; those who thought of themselves as leaders on one side of the classroom and those who thought of themselves as followers on the other. This question came without warning at the beginning of the class, so we didn’t have time to think it through. The result was probably more sincere because of this suddenness. For some context, the class consisted of about 30 students, mostly young adults under 21 YOA; I was about 21 years old. An interesting thing happened. An Important Life Lesson in Social Perception The vast majority of the class went to the leader side of the class and only two of us went to the follower side. I was one of the followers along with another young man. How awkward; then the professor focused on us followers and ask...

Opinion: Most communities in Oregon and the US are Republican, yet Democrats are in charge

2022 Oregon Governor Election Photo Assuming election results are valid in Oregon, which does take a lot of faith these days after the questions about the 2020 US Presidential election arose, Democrat Tina Kotek won the Governor’s race in 2022 by a slim margin over Republican Christine Drazan. The interesting aspect of this win is how many of Oregon’s 36 counties voted Republican vs. Democrat. Looking at the political map, almost the entire state is red with only a few small counties in the northwest having the blue color. Specifically, there were 7 counties that voted Democrat and 29 that voted Republican. The difference is the 7 counties voting blue are the most populous counties, also the counties with the most residents coming from other states – much like Tina Kotek herself, a transplant from Pennsylvania . Tina only won the campaign to be Oregon’s 39th Governor by 66,727 votes over Christine Drazan. Said in another way, the Democrats pulled off another close election with m...

Plugging Along

Press enter or click to view image in full size The simple things are profound. Hello friends, hope this finds you well and in good health. I remember seeing this comic strip where an older man with a gut and grey hair saw a “hiring” sign at a fast food restaurant and thought it was a good opportunity. The theme of the strip was that he was a plugger — plugging along. That must have been about 20 years ago it seems, but it stuck with me in my journey of plugging along myself. So much was said in that little one picture comic strip. Our journey down here on God’s earth is full of plugging along moments; where our attitude and perspective really make the difference in the type of life we live. Not everyone gets the glory or the recognition. Most of us just work in the shadows plugging along with our lives, trying to do the right thing, trying to keep our heads afloat in the waters of hustle and bustle. I think what I liked about that comic strip was the humility of the cartoon character....

Love Without Offense

Reflections on the seeming complexities of love. When reflecting on the seeming complexities of love, contrasting the nemesis of love seems appropriate. Offending or being offended is not something one can do with love. It challenges our love and tempts us with unforgiveness and bitterness. When offense rears its ugly head, love gets stuffed down into forgotten compartments within ourselves. When we get offended, emotions like anger, wrath, and hatred come forth, as we seek to protect and get vengeance for ourselves and loved ones. What is Love? It takes a special person to not get offended when others do. They have learned to overcome the temptation of anger by passing over the offense. Most of us get offended somewhat easily. When this happens we realize how conditional the love we give is. Are we only loving those who love us back? That seems to be the natural reaction for most people. What is love then? Is it simply a conditional behavior we extend to those who love us back? Is it ...
