Vancouver Whitecaps prepare to battle it out with Dallas in this Major League Soccer game. All you must learn about the game is located here!

This ground has artifical turf, which is not Dallas's everyday surface at their own stadium. When appearing on artifical turf Dallas have performed like this: Played seven matches resulting in 0 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats with the goal numbers 3-8 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Dallas have to travel 3500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There have been little to rest for the host team, as they had a CONCACAF Champions League fixture only three days back. Thankfully the previous game, versus Real Espana, was also a home game here at BC Place Stadium. The away team is better rested.
