New York Red Bulls’ 2-0 win over D.C. United on April 15 was the team’s first big rivalry game of 2017. Photographer Matthew Stith was at Red Bull Arena for the occasion, and also outside it - following the RBNY Supporters’ Groups march to the match.
It’s not much of a rivalry if the fans aren’t into it. Fortunately, the fans were very clearly into it. Presented here are a few images of those fans from before, during, and after the game: a small tribute to their passion, dedication to RBNY, and hatred for DC United.
