At the Game

Shell Energy Stadium is the Houston Dynamo's soccer-specific home in the East Downtown (EaDo) neighborhood. It opened in 2012, holds just over 22,000 fans, and was one of the earlier examples of MLS building purpose-built urban venues rather than sharing with NFL teams. The atmosphere in the supporter section behind the south goal — driven by the Dynamo's vocal support groups — is among the more energetic in the league.

EaDo has transformed significantly since the stadium opened, with breweries, bars, and restaurants now clustered in the blocks around the ground. The METRORail Red Line stops directly at EADO/Stadium, making it easy to get here from downtown and the medical center. It's one of the better matchday neighborhoods in MLS — arrive early to enjoy the area before heading in.

Special Features

Shell Energy Stadium's Downtown Views

Shell Energy Stadium sits just east of downtown Houston with the city skyline visible beyond the open north end. On clear Houston evenings, the skyline view from the south end is a genuinely attractive backdrop for a soccer match.

El Capitán

The Dynamo's supporter group El Capitán is among MLS's most creative when it comes to tifo displays. The south end of Shell Energy Stadium comes alive with massive banners, smoke, and coordinated chants that reflect Houston's passionate Latino soccer culture.
