Dynamo to visit White House, President Bush, to commemorate 2006 MLS Cup championship
Second MLS team to be honored at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
"This is a tremendous honor for the Dynamo, given the instant success our franchise had in our new home," said team President Oliver Luck. "We are grateful that President Bush could plan time from his busy schedule to visit with us."
The White House visit will come three days after the Dynamo plays D.C. United at RFK Stadium. The Dynamo will display the MLS Cup in the East Wing, and team members will present President Bush with mementos from the 2006 Championship Season.
"We're very honored to be invited to the White House" said Dynamo Captain Wade Barrett. "It was a fantastic achievement for us last year, and another in the latest of championships in the state of Texas. We're glad to represent that with the President."
To further commemorate this historic event, the Dynamo plans to offer a photograph from the White House visit to fans at the June 3 contest at Robertson Stadium against FC Dallas.
Wednesday's announcement was made at Lucho of Houston.
