The Houston Dynamo are back at BBVA Stadium on Saturday and are welcoming fans to the venue for the first time since the end of February! 

They are the first sports team in Houston to host live spectators since the Coronavirus shutdown earlier this Spring.

Saturday’s match against Minnesota United will allow up to 3,000 attendees, which is 13.6% of the stadium’s official capacity, after the venue received approval from local health and government officials. 

BBVA Stadium has health and safety requirements in place that include digital tickets, designated entries, required face masks, seating pods, and more.
