Brimstone Cup
The Brimstone Cup is a soccer trophy awarded to the yearly winner of the Major League Soccer rivalry between Chicago Fire FC and FC Dallas. The Cup is awarded by the Brimstone Cup Committee to the team with the most points in games played between the two. If the two teams have the same points against each other at the end of the year, then the cup stays with the team holding it at the beginning of the year.
The cup was created during the 2001 season by the supporters' groups of both clubs, Section 8 from Chicago and the Inferno from Dallas. Its name came from a reference of the names of the two teams at the time, as FC Dallas was then known as the Dallas Burn. The name is reflected with a quote from Virgil's Aeneid engraved on the base: "The more the kindled combat rises high'r, The more with fury burns the blazing fire." The two supporters groups contracted with the R.S. Owens Corporation, the makers of the Academy Awards since 1982, to craft the physical Brimstone Cup.
The Brimstone Cup remained in Chicago for the fourth season in a row following a 2–0 Chicago home victory at Toyota Park, now known as SeatGeek Stadium, on August 2, 2015. On July 16, 2016, FC Dallas regained the Cup for the first time in four years with a 3-1 home victory at Toyota Stadium.
