About

Shell Energy Stadium

Shell Energy Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Houston, Texas, United States. It is home to Houston Dynamo FC of the Major League Soccer and the Houston Dash of the National Women's Soccer League.

Opened in May 2012, it is the first soccer-specific stadium built in a major American metropolitan downtown city. The stadium is the result of combined commitments of $35.5 million from the city of Houston and $60 million from the Houston Dynamo Football Club. Harris County agreed to pay for half of the land in exchange for the ability to jointly own the stadium after its completion date.
