There was a time when the Dynamo used to be one of those teams that everyone laughed at for not having their own stadium and playing in some dump. Last week they opened BBVA Compass Stadium and stopped being one of those teams so now they get to go to play the Revs and laugh at them.

Pick: Draw, 1-1.
