"The largest youth and professional soccer complex is not in England, it's not in Brazil, it's not in Germany, the site of next year's World Cup," said MLS Commissioner Don Garber at the ceremony. "It's in the United States of America, here in Colorado, here in Commerce City. I think that's something we should be very proud of."

And Frisco Field hasn't exactly been a rounding success either. FC Dallas is still averaging only 12,406 in Pizza Hut Park.
