The new women's pro-soccer team, Trinity FC, will play in Dallas later this summer.
Charlie Neil spoke to Lone Star Politics about the new women's pro-soccer team beginning play in Dallas later this summerThe historic Cotton Bowl is no stranger to the game. FC Dallas played there back when the team was the"Dallas Burn." In 1994, the stadium hosted the World Cup. Lionel Messi and the Inter Miami CF team played in front of a sold out crowd more recently.
Dallas City Council kicked in nearly $600,000 in a two-year agreement with the team. Lone Star Politics asked Neil what the city gets in return. Neil points out this is a"major franchise." The USL Super League is a Division One league governed by US Soccer. The team meets the market, stadium, and investment qualifications required under the governing body.
"No one starts a team and makes money right away. That just doesn't happen. Some are obviously able to do it better than others. But really, there's got to be an infrastructure within the team to make it," said Cooperstein,"There's got to be significant backing to be willing to take on losses until they ultimately are able to turn a profit.""You are making a front end investment in this club in the hopes of long-term it succeeds.
