On behalf of the players, assistant coaches and staff of the Houston Dynamo I would like to thank you for your support during Thursday’s press conference, which was hosted by the East End Chamber of Commerce, the East End Management District, the East Downtown Management District, the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Camara de Empresarios Latinos de Houston. These local groups are all stakeholders in the East End and are 100% supportive of the stadium plan. Your signatures on the petition (which are being deliverd to elected officials today) to build a new stadium in the East End will surely go a long way in making our dream a reality.

This, however, is only the beginning…

More after the jump…

Dynamo fans plan to gather at the proposed stadium site this morning at 10am (corner of Dowling and Rusk) for a news conference planned by the Houston East End Chamber of Commerce, the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and two other organizations. The project’s supporters also were circulating an online petition directed at swaying Commissioners Court.

“I will keep listening until I hear from the taxpayers that this is something they really want us to do,” Commissioner Sylvia Garcia said. “I’m going to keep doing my due diligence … to assess what’s best for the county post-Ike and in today’s current economic climate.”

Danny Cepero almost single handedly put New York into the Western Conference Semi - Finals next weekend.

Soccer Commentator Glenn Davis in Houston has had enough and calls up local politicians Sylvia Garcia and El Franco Lee to find out where things stand on a new Dynamo Stadium downtown, plus he gives out their contact information.

Ballsy stuff.

Looks like Juan Pablo Angel is taking his team by the back of the neck into these playoffs.

After Houston’s game in El Salvador last night,  the boys were visited by the United States ambassador to El Salvador, Mr. Charles L. Glazer. With all of this going on, our boy Stuart Holden planted the Bumpy Pitch flag in El Salvador by rocking the new crest t-shirt. That’s a good look Stu!

Big props to David for the heads up on this one. Check out Forever Orange for the full story on the Dynamo getting to meet the ambassador.
