Dallas Burn Fans' Memories

DALLAS — Major League Soccer officially launched its #MLSin96 campaign Monday morning, which meant FC Dallas turned back the clock to it first year in the league. Changing all of its social media profiles to align with the first team name in franchise history — the Dallas Burn — fans were asked to share their first MLS memories/memorabilia whether it be from the year the league launched in 1996 or during its 25th season in 2020.


We gathered up some of the many responses received on social media. #BurnBabyBurn.
