Rapids schedule exhibition match in Memphis in September... why?
The Colorado Rapids announced today that they would be going to Memphis to play the Tulsa Roughnecks FC on Saturday, September 1st. The Roughnecks are 1-9-8 with just 12 points. USL Memphis was awarded a franchise earlier this year in January and their inaugural season will be 2019, so they will be unveiling their new logo during the exhibition match.
To recap: The Rapids are going to Memphis on a bye week to play a USL side in a Minor League Baseball stadium and it’s not even the hometown team because the hometown team doesn’t have a team yet.
Why?
