The Houston Dynamo vs. Toronto FC match, which was originally scheduled for Saturday evening, has been postponed until tonight at 8:15 p.m. CDT.
After closely monitoring the weather throughout the evening in consultation with Dynamo and BBVA Compass Stadium management, Major League Soccer made the decision to postpone in the interest of fan, public and player safety due to persistent lightning around stadium.

Fans who purchased that ticket package but were unable to make it last night can pick up their wristbands today at a Dynamo tent outside of Lucky’s Pub.
Kroger will continue to collect canned food items prior to tonight’s match as part of their Black Out Hunger campaign benefitting the Houston Food Bank. There will be one collection location tonight at the Methodist Gate (northwest corner of BBVA Compass Stadium).
The previously scheduled postgame fireworks will not take place tonight due to permitting and noise restriction issues on a Sunday night.
