The Houston Dynamo will host Kids Day presented by Mustang CATwhen they face the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, April 22 around BBVA Compass Stadium. The game is scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. CDT and is the first matinee home game of the season, making it a perfect opportunity for families to take part.
A special Kids Day ticket offer for the game features $12 tickets for children age 12 or younger with the purchase of an accompanying adult ticket, which are available starting at just $25.

Mustang CAT, the presenting sponsor for the event, is bringing a full-size tractor that kids can take photos with, and a sand box for kids to play with miniature versions of the company’s tractors and equipment. Both activities will be located at Texas Street Fest on the north end of BBVA Compass Stadium prior to the game. The Dynamo and Mustang CAT will also give out free Thundersticks to the first 5,000 fans at the game.
Dynamo Diesel, the Dynamo mascot, will celebrate his birthday (albeit a few days late) with his mascot friends from around town, including TORO from the Texans, the Astros’ Orbit, Shasta and Sasha from the University of Houston, and Swoop from Houston Community College.
A number of the pregame and in-game entertainment elements will feature children or be youth-focused, including a Kid PA Announcer, Kid Sideline Reporter, Kid Reporters in the press box, and a children’s choir from Yeager Elementary performing the National Anthem. There will also be face painters and balloon artists stationed outside the stadium and around the concourse; and several video board elements will feature children – those in the crowd, the Dynamo players’ kids and the Dynamo players themselves as kids.
