According to Culture Map, the Dynamo stadium will host a rugby match. I'm having trouble providing the link from my phone, but I will attach it when I get home.

Sweet I will be there !

Will be there too!

DARC- is your handle as direct as it appears? Inside center for Dallas rugby club?

I'm planning to be there, too.

I'm flying in for it.

Wife and I plan on going.

I bought a ticket, though I'm pretty sure I won't be in town.

H20: Yeah, it is that direct, at the time I created my handle. Inside for Dallas Athletic. Not to be confused with Dallas Reds.

Currently 8-man for Frisco.

Oh, I know the difference

I played second side inside for the Quins for a few years. Now I live in NYC and just play the occassional old boys match with my former grad school team. Actually just played last week and I'm still hurting.

Ah! Thats cool. Were you around when Cuban tried to play for them? I know a couple of the RSL guys. Not a fan of the quins overall though.

will be there for this, me and a bunch of oklahoma ruggers will be coming down.

The game was close there for a while at 10 all. USA had a hard time controlling the ball and left too many big gaps in the defensive wall. The people watching was good. Lots of crazy getups. Probably the drunkest crowd I've ever seen at a sporting event. Will be nice if Houston can get more international rugby matches.

The stadium is pretty nice too. The restrooms need signs to let people know which door is the entrance and which is the exit. Lots of people running into each other or walking in circles in the bathroom trying to find the way out. This could all be due to the drunkenness though.

All in all a good time.

I went. Good times even though I have about a 30% understanding of the rules and strategy of rugby. I'd go again though I feel I should take a Rugby 101 class before I do.
