There was a star-studded crowd, by the way, at Toyota Stadium. As Leo Messi, excuse me, and Inter Miami took on FC Dallas, David and Victoria Beckham, I was just itching to get here, right? Showed up to support their longtime friend. Beckham is also co-owner of Inter Miami. Tony Romo and Dirk as well were on hand. There was a massive line to get into yesterday's game. Unlike one we've seen at any FC Dallas game before, many people were wearing Messi's Argentina jersey. FC Dallas fans hope all this hype leads to new fans over this way.
I'm hoping that it's contagious and goes over to our regular season games, and that they go, wow, FC Dallas is really fun to watch. Even the FC Dallas players were in awe of the GOAT, lining up to take pictures with them after the game, and the home team had nothing but respect for them.
The 'Messi Mania' certainly made its mark on the match, drawing celebrities and fervent fans alike. The presence of star power like David and Victoria Beckham added an extra layer of excitement to the already highly anticipated game. With the hope of converting new followers to FC Dallas enthusiasts, the spectacle surrounding Messi's appearance may just translate into a boost in fan engagement for the team's upcoming regular season matches.
