Dallas Trinity FC, the newest professional sports team in North Texas, made a bold announcement on Thursday regarding their plans to meet the increasing demand for professional women’s soccer. The team’s leaders revealed their intentions during a presentation at Klyde Warren Park, highlighting their excitement despite the challenges ahead.
One of the major hurdles facing the franchise is filling the historic Cotton Bowl, which has a capacity of 90,000 seats. CEO and owner Jim Neil expressed confidence in the team’s ability to tackle this challenge head-on.
The arrival of Dallas Trinity FC comes at a time when women’s soccer is gaining immense popularity both locally and nationally. With the USWNT’s impressive track record and the projected growth of women’s elite sports, the timing seems perfect for the team to make its mark.
The City Council’s approval of a subsidy for the team to play home games at the Cotton Bowl further solidifies their commitment to supporting women’s sports in the region. Additionally, the team’s unique color scheme and logo pay homage to the city skyline and the Trinity River.
As the team gears up for their inaugural season in the USL Super League, they face the challenge of building name recognition and creating a vibrant atmosphere for fans. Despite the competitive landscape, Neil is optimistic about the potential for women’s soccer in Dallas and beyond.
With the support of the community and a strong vision for the future, Dallas Trinity FC is poised to make a significant impact on the world of professional women’s soccer.
