Houston Dynamo Soccer

7:30pm
Robertson Stadium
Click here for directions

It’s time to see the Houston Dynamo again!

It's been nearly three months since they lost a game.  Dominic Kinnear has been selected to coach the All-Star team.  They play their next home game on Saturday night July 25 when our own Houston Dynamo hosts the New England Revolution at Robertson Stadium.  The Dynamo beat the Revolution twice to win their MLS Cups, but last year the Revolution beat them for the Super Liga Championship.  The Houston Dynamo has been playing great soccer and this will be another great game. 

This promises to be a good game with 90 minutes of non-stop action.  With game time at 7:30, it will be cooling and comfortable for an outdoor event.  The MIT Club of South Texas will be at the game.  We’ve got good seats at a good price, so register by July 16 and we’ll see you there!  (Tickets will be sent to you by US mail.)

Prices:
2009 Dues-Paid Members & Guests
$19
Non-Members $23

(These prices are less than you would pay at Ticketmaster or the gate)

Our first (at least in recent memory) golf tournament!  Although we had a small turnout on October 21 for the first MIT Club Golf Outing, all had a great time.  The top golfer was Steve Koch, who shot an 81 at the watery Cypress Lakes Golf Course.  Steve also won longest drive and closest to the pin, putting one 6 inches from the hole!  Congratulations, Steve!
