History
editEstablishment
editOn November 19, 2013, MLS team Houston Dynamo began the initial stages of bringing a top flight women's professional soccer franchise to Houston.[1] A week later, the effort was bolstered when the Dynamo began accepting refundable deposits for a potential NWSL expansion team.[2] On December 11, 2013, the National Women's Soccer League awarded the Houston Dynamo and the city of Houston an expansion franchise.[3]
Team name, crest, and colors
editDuring a press conference on December 12, 2013, then-Houston Dynamo president Chris Canetti announced that the club would be named the Houston Dash and would share similar colors to the Dynamo: orange, black, and sky blue.[4] The crest featured a soccer ball along with the words "Houston Dash" with sky blue lines in the background.[5] The name Dash refers to the fast running speed of a horse, which was a historical mode of transportation for Texans in the 1800s.[5]
Mascot
editIn 2007, Houston started a search for a mascot by asking members of The Art Institute of Houston to submit drawings, from which several finalists were selected and an official mascot would be decided through an online poll, both for the mascot design and name. The winning design, by Eric Hulsey and Leslie Lopez, was of an orange-haired fox and named Dynamo Diesel. He was unveiled at Houston Zoo on April 3, 2007. Dynamo Diesel began working alongside the Houston Dynamo marketing and community outreach programs.
Diesel also became the official mascot of the Houston Dash when the team began play in 2014. Dash Diesel is present at every Houston Dash match and brings an electric energy to the gameday atmosphere at Shell Energy Stadium.

For the team's inaugural season, 7,000 seats in the lower seating bowl are available for home games.[28] When the stadium opened in 2012, it became the first soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer located in a city's downtown district.[29]
Spectators can experience unobstructed views from both the lower and upper seating bowls, which are supported by a single concourse. The concourse provides full access around the stadium with easy access to concession and toilet. On June 22, 2022, Houston Dynamo Football Club (HDFC) announced plans for major upgrades to Shell Energy Stadium. The renovation project began immediately following the conclusion of the 2022 MLS and NWSL seasons and was ready in time for the 2023 season. The project was headlined by the installation of all-new mesh seats throughout the entire seating bowl and made Shell Energy Stadium the first soccer-specific stadium in America with mesh seating throughout the building.

The East Club, includes the three centermost sections of the east sideline lower level and hold a capacity of 824 guests. It opens into a climate-controlled club area where guests can enjoy an all-inclusive experience with premium food options, a dedicated bar serving beer, wine and cocktails along with non-alcoholic beverages.
The East Club features nine loge boxes, which offer individuals and companies the opportunity to entertain guests in a semi-private space with access to all of the all-inclusive benefits of the East Club. Each loge box seats eight guests.
Aside from Major League Soccer, National Women's Soccer League and international soccer matches, the stadium also hosts Texas Southern University football, concerts, and much more. With its downtown location, the stadium is now a part of a true Stadium District, which features Minute Maid Park and Toyota Center, as well as other amenities and attractions such as the George R. Brown Convention Center, the Hilton Americas, Discovery Green, and Houston Pavilions.[citation needed]

Broadcasting
editDuring the 2014 season, games were broadcast locally on CSN TV in Houston.[42] It was the second local television broadcast agreement in the NWSL's history.[43] On August 6, 2014, DirecTV and AT&T proposed a reorganization plan, in which it would acquire CSN Houston in a 60/40 joint venture. At the time, AT&T was in the process of acquiring DirecTV, pending regulatory approval.[44] The reorganization offer was approved by the court on October 30, 2014, although Comcast appealed the decision in order to address a $100 million loan that had been given to the network. Attorneys from the companies involved reached an agreement to allow the deal to continue through Comcast's appeals process. The Rockets' general counsel Rafael Stone stated that the approval gave a "clear path" for the network to return to full-time service in November, and transition to DirecTV's Root Sports brand, and the network subsequently canceled all of its existing studio shows on October 22, 2014.[45][46][47] Select Houston Dash matches continued to be aired on Root Sports through the 2015[48] and 2016 seasons.[49][50]
As of the 2017 season, Dash games were streamed exclusively by Go90 for American audiences and via the NWSL website for international viewers.[51] As part of a three-year agreement with A&E Networks, Lifetime broadcasts one NWSL Game of the Week on Saturday afternoons.[52][53] For the 2017 season, the Dash were featured in five nationally broadcast Lifetime NWSL Game of the Week broadcasts on May 6, May 3, and September 23, 2017.[54]
In July 2022, the club announced plans to broadcast matches locally on AT&T SportsNet Southwest (rebranded to Space City Home Network as of October 2023), the team's first local agreement since 2016.[50]
On November 9, 2023, the National Women's Soccer League announced [55] landmark agreements for its domestic media distribution with 118 national windows on CBS Sports, ESPN, Prime Video and Scripps Sports. The four-year contract with each partner will generate record-breaking distribution and revenue for the league while maximizing a mix of linear and digital streaming distribution.
Houston Dash and Houston-based PTS Media announced[56] on April 12, 2024, that all remaining home matches for the 2024 season would stream in Spanish across the Deportes Nation digital platforms. The agreement marked the first time that Dash matches would be available to fans in Spanish. Coverage includes a 30-minute pregame show plus a 30-minute postgame show that will feature Dash players and staff.
On April 25, 2024, Houston Dash and Space City Home Network (SCHN) announced[57] a broadcast agreement that brought select Dash matches to the local network during the 2024 season and marked the third consecutive year in which the Dash has prioritized providing local broadcast options through the network.
