WHY SHOULD I WATCH THIS?
- Will TFC manage to find 11 healthy starters?
- Has FC Dallas flattered to deceive so far in 2014?
- Will Fran O'Leary end up watching the match from a distance while being taunted by FCD mascot Tex Hooper a la Bob de Klerk?
- Can Gilberto finally open his scoring account? (Again)
- Was the first month of TFC's season just a dream and we're all standing collectively in a shower?

WHO ARE YA?
Easter is a special occasion down in Texas and the owners of FC Dallas spare no expense to attract a few needed extra fans to Toyota Stadium with the allure of holiday treats. However, where other grounds may opt for a traditional chocolate egg hunt, FC Dallas embraces their Texan heritage and invites families to a Lone Star Easter.

Children dressed as Walker, Texas Ranger are lined up with a Junior High-Powered Assault Rifle while bunnies, force-fed on T-Bone steaks for a month, are released on the pitch and hunted down by freedom-loving toddlers. The child with the most bunnies after 90 minutes must then eat a BBQ'd 8-pound steak-filled bunny and a gallon of cheese balls to win a chocolate egg.

WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS:
