I suppose that it’s a good thing the two months FCD has more home games than road – not counting February – are the final two months of the season.
the 3x Austin matches are a fun thing but they seem like a kick in the gut when you consider someone in the west will play a shitty team (looking at you Vancouver) 3x while we’re playing western conf finalists…
They for sure should also get Houston 3 times.
