2010 Austin Aztex season
The Austin Aztex began their second season as a professional team by playing 4 preseason exhibition matches. The first two games were held as a home-home series against Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo. They also played away games against the Laredo Heat and FC Dallas. Their lone home preseason game against Houston was their final match at Nelson Field. The Aztex now play their home matches at House Park a stadium located in downtown Austin.
On April 28, Austin hosted the Haitian national team. The match was part of a charity series of matches for the Haitians who played FC Dallas and Trinity University in San Antonio earlier in the month. The 4,132 fans who attended the Austin match donated $11,500 [1] to help with the Haiti earthquake recovery effort. In total the series of matches raised over $22,000. The Austin match ended in a 0-0 tie.
On May 19, Austin played the Tampa Bay Rowdies in front of 6,051 fans, their largest home crowd in franchise history.[2]
