00:00It's one of Major League Soccer's longest and most successful partnerships, a new era between
00:10FC Dallas and Toyota, signing a new 10-year deal for a presenting sponsorship and naming rights
00:16agreement. FC Dallas President Dan Hunt remembers a time where he was talking to his brother on the
00:22phone outside of a coffee shop back in 2013 to finalize the first agreement between the two of
00:28you. I feel so special and so honored to have this opportunity to talk to you today about this.
00:34Toyota has been a dream partner for us and I go all the way back to 2013, standing outside of a
00:41coffee shop, talking to my brother on the phone as we were putting the final touches on negotiating
00:46this deal. And what came into that conversation was it was the right partner at the right time
00:52and the people behind the company were the right people to work with. The right partner at the
00:58right time then and now. And while these $200 million renovations are being made to Toyota
01:03Stadium, Hunt says that he sees his late dad all around in the fingerprints and footsteps of
01:09the stadium. I feel his presence every single day. I know he would be so proud of the game
01:15of soccer and how it's grown and the opportunities that it's provided and the jobs that it's created
01:20and the success of both the women's and men's national teams. The team has made the postseason
01:25and will play the Vancouver Whitecaps this coming weekend. For all things FC Dallas, you can tune
01:31in to Spectrum Cable Channel 15 on Wednesday and Thursday nights at 11. For D210 Sports,
01:36I'm Sydney Staples and you've just been credentialed.
