While all the negotiations over Dynamo Stadium drag on between the city and the team, Houstonist reports on a grassroots action by fans hoping to move the process along.

A group of supporters calling themselves "Home for the Dynamo" have recently begun a grassroots effort to raise money from the private sector -- primarily from Dynamo fans -- in an unusual bid to provide some of the funds for the stadium themselves. At their website, fans are encouraged to both donate money to the organization as well as contact Mayor Bill White to voice their support for the construction of a stadium for the two-time MLS Cup winners. A donation of $4.99 nets patrons an orange "Home for the Dynamo" bumper sticker.

It is unclear how much money would need to be raised in order for this ambitious project to be considered successful, but the estimated total cost for the construction of the stadium is currently at $105 million, which is an increase from the initial estimate of $80 million, due to rising materials costs.
