The MLS schedule was released today giving us the full FCD schedule for the upcoming 2012 season. Major kudos to MLS for getting the schedule out early for once rather than waiting until the last minute.
A few quick hits:
-The second game of the season will be Saturday March 17 as FCD hosts Portland, 730PM at PHP
-FCD will play on NBC Sports Network 5 times this year and on ESPN networks twice. The two home games from those will be the home opener against New York and against Los Angeles on July 28
-8 of the 17 home games are on Saturday nights with just one early afternoon game, the home opener against New York. Dallas will play three Sunday 6PM games with only the September 2 game against Seattle coming in a summer month.
-The start times for 5 of the 6 home games in June, July and August have been moved back to 8PM. A fantastic move by FCD and one that has been needed for a long time.
- From the Eastern Conference, FC Dallas hosts New York, Montreal, New England, Philadelphia, and Toronto while they travel to Kansas City, DC United, Columbus, Chicago, and Houston.
-From the Western Conferece, Dallas hosts Portland, Colorado, Seattle, and Chivas USA twice while they travel to RSL, Vancouver, LA, and San Jose twice.
-The lone FCD vs Houston rivalry game will take place on Saturday, June 16 at 4PM in Houston at their brand new BBVA Compass Bank Stadium.
