RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman's take "For a while that was the best one in the country. It's nice. The grass isn't very good right now. The grass is definitely on the lower side of the league. The way you come out in the stadium isn't the best. Everything in the stands was done really well."
Pizza Hut Park
Frisco, Texas
Home of FC Dallas
Opened Aug. 6, 2005
Cost $105 million
Capacity 20,500
Media Guide Note Part of a complex that includes 17 full-size soccer fields surrounding the stadium. The $105 million public-private complex is owned by the City of Frisco in partnership with the Hunt Sports Group (HSG), the Frisco Independent School District and Colin County.
Toyota Park
Bridgeview, Ill.
Home of the Chicago Fire
Opened June, 2006
Cost $96 million
Capacity 20,000
Media Guide Note Financed by the residents of the Village of Bridgeview in the form of public bonds. The canopy roof, brick facade, stone arched entryway and midfield player tunnel are all aspects that make Toyota Park a unique soccer-specific stadium in the United States.
RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman's take "Chicago is the first stadium where you come out the right way, in the middle of the stadium. The only downfall is one side is just bleachers, but the grass is OK, and it's pretty loud too. It's probably second-best to us."
Dicks Sporting Goods Park
Commerce City, Colo.
Home of the Colorado Rapids
Opened April 7, 2007
Cost $131 million
Capacity 18,086
