Stadium
- Cotton Bowl; Dallas, Texas (1996–2002, 2004–2005)
- Dragon Stadium; Southlake, Texas (2003)
- FC Dallas Stadium; Frisco, Texas (2005–present)
From 1996–2002 the team played in the 92,100-capacity Cotton Bowl in Dallas. In an effort to save money due to the club's unfavorable lease with the Cotton Bowl, the club played its 2003 home games at Dragon Stadium, a high school stadium in Southlake, a Fort Worth suburb. After listening to its fans, the Dallas Burn, as the team was called from 1996–2004, moved back to the Cotton Bowl for the 2004 season. Another factor to the move was the money that the club was losing due to the fact that there could be no alcohol sales at a public high school.
In August 2005, the club moved into Pizza Hut Park, now FC Dallas Stadium, a soccer-specific stadium in the northern suburb of Frisco.
