Rollercoaster affair sees FC Dallas fight for a point against the Colorado Rapids

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Rafael Navarro scored two goals, including the equalizer in the second half, and the Colorado Rapids rallied for a 3-3 draw with FC Dallas in their home opener on Saturday night.

Defender Keegan Rosenberry took a pass from Oliver Larraz in the 6th minute and scored to give the Rapids (0-0-2) an early lead. It was the 10th goal of Rosenberry’s 10-year career. It was the first career assist for Larraz in his 27th start and 41st appearance with the club.

Navarro made it 2-0 with his first goal this season — an unassisted score in the 39th minute. He had 15 goals in 2024 — his first full season.

Dallas (1-0-1) pulled even before halftime with a pair of goals two minutes apart.

Pedro “Pedrinho” Martins, a 21-year-old midfielder, scored his first career goal unassisted in the 43rd minute of his first start and second appearance. Former league MVP Luciano Acosta scored his first goal for Dallas, using an assist from Petar Musa to tie it at 2. Acosta was acquired from FC Cincinnati in the offseason. Musa has two assists this season. He had three in 30 appearances last season — his first.

Musa scored unassisted to put Dallas on top in the 68th minute with his second goal this season.

Navarro answered in the 72nd on another assist from Larraz to tie it at 3.

Zack Steffen had one save for the Rapids.

Maarten Paes saved three shots for Dallas.

Dallas came from behind to beat the Houston Dynamo 2-1 on the road in the debut of head coach Eric Quill. It was the club’s first victory in Houston since 2016.

Colorado beat Dallas twice last year in its first season under Chris Armas.

Dallas will host the Chicago Fire on Saturday. The Rapids travels to play Austin FC on Saturday.

Preston Hollow residents oppose proposed 0 million mixed-use development in Dallas, survey reveals

It’s called a blue card survey. But some residents in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas believe it could be their ace in the hole and their fight against the proposed development.

The 2019 tornado left a trail of destruction in North Dallas, including Victor Toledo’s home. He said been able to rebuild along with others in his neighborhood.

But he says one area is still an eyesore.

“It’s become a very desirable neighborhood, other than that one corner, that one corner is still stuck six years ago with the old office buildings,” said Toledo.

That “one corner” he’s referring to is the southwest side of Preston Road in Royal Lane.

It’s where developers want to build an $800 million 19-story resort hotel, apartment building, and mixed-use development.

There are signs all around Preston Hollow opposing the project.

A recently completed survey of residences within 500 yards of it reveals just how strong the opposition is.

City of Dallas survey:

258 opposed
7 in favor
18 no response

Margaret Chabris hopes the city’s planning and zoning commission, which meets again on Aug. 6, will take the results of the survey seriously.

“It does have an impact because this is what the city wanted to know, and this is the chance that residents and property owners right here can voice their opinion; it should have a considerable impact.”

But some residents, like Toledo, believe the benefits of the development outweigh concerns about traffic and construction.

“It’ll be great for the neighborhood to have that kind of amenity,” Toledo said. “To have hotel options, new restaurants. Now it’s a vacant old building that wasn’t being used much.”

Klyde Warren Park reveals expansion plans, construction timeline

Klyde Warren Park, a top attraction in Dallas for more than a decade, is growing. Park and city leaders revealed details about the project on Monday morning, which will expand the park to 7.1 acres.

The park, which opened in 2012, connects Uptown Dallas with the Arts District over a recessed portion of Woodall Rodgers Freeway. The construction will span west to cover the remaining portion of the freeway, totaling 1.7 acres of new park space, according to the plans released Monday.

It will feature the Jacobs Lawn, a 37,000-square-foot green space that can be used for all types of community gatherings, performances and markets. In the winter, the lawn will feature an ice rink. Next to the lawn, the Overlook will give visitors a view of the highway traffic below them.

The expansion will also include a two-story pavilion with 24,000 square feet of climate-controlled event space, plus a rooftop terrace.

“This expansion isn’t simply about adding acreage. It’s an investment in Dallas, an investment in the community and an investment in future generations,” Klyde Warren Park chairman Jody Grant said in a statement.

“The expansion of this Park is exactly the kind of transformative investment we must continue to make throughout Dallas’s urban core. It will add new green space for residents to enjoy while driving continued economic growth, connecting our communities, and enhancing the quality of life that makes Dallas a destination for families, businesses, and visitors from around the world,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said in a statement.

Construction firm Archer Western won a competitive bid to work on the project, the same firm that built the first phase of the park.

Construction will begin by the end of the year, and is expected to take two years to complete.

CJ Goodwin announces retirement after 8 seasons with Cowboys

CJ Goodwin announces retirement after 8 seasons with Cowboys

FRISCO, Texas — After 12 seasons in the NFL and the last eight with the Dallas Cowboys, defensive back CJ Goodwin has announced his retirement.

Goodwin, 36, has played in 108 games for the Cowboys since he joined the team in 2018. He was the second longest-tenured Cowboy on the roster behind only Dak Prescott, who preceded Goodwin by two seasons.

Since 2019, Goodwin has been one of Dallas’ key players on special teams, recording 69 tackles with the Cowboys [ninth in Cowboys history] and 87 in his NFL career. In 2021, Goodwin became the first player in franchise history to lead the team in special teams tackles for three consecutive seasons.

After going undrafted in 2014, Goodwin received a tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers after Steelers Hall of Fame cornerback Mel Blount, whose son attended high school with Goodwin and who Goodwin had worked for as a farm hand, urged the team to give him an opportunity. Pittsburgh would sign him as an undrafted free agent afterwards.

Following time with the Steelers, Falcons, Cardinals, Giants, 49ers and Bengals, the Cowboys signed Goodwin off of Cincinnati’s practice squad in October of 2018.

In his eight seasons with Dallas, Goodwin notched 2,211 snaps on special teams. He worked primarily as a gunner on punt coverage and was one of Dallas’ most impactful defenders on kickoff coverage during his career with the team.

Goodwin was named one of the Cowboys’ six captains in 2025, and the second captain on special teams alongside Brandon Aubrey. He finished the year with 18 special teams tackles.

In 2026, the Cowboys will now have to look to fill Goodwin’s shoes on special teams. Some of their offseason signings, like safety P.J. Locke, have a strong history as defenders on special teams and could end up being crucial for special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen in his second season in Dallas.
