Southern California is in the midst of an unprecedented winter storm in modern history, and with it comes a damper on the start of the 2023 MLS season locally, as Saturday’s blockbuster El Trafico clash between the LA Galaxy and LAFC has been postponed due to high risk of inclement weather during the event, including thunderstorms in Pasadena. A make-up date has not yet been announced.
The game was the tentpole match of the opening weekend in MLS, a rivalry clash in a historic venue that was aiming to break the standalone MLS attendance record set last year in Charlotte FC’s Bank of America Stadium, for their game against the Galaxy.
