Fans gather for Philadelphia Union send-off in Chester

About 80 people showed up at Subaru Park on Thursday for an organized send-off for the Philadelphia Union as they were leaving together on a bus to their charter flight to Orlando.

Wearing masks and distancing from each other, fans waved Union, Doop and Phang flags, chanted “Phila-delphia” as two black Delaware Express buses with players and staff exited the stadium. Union mascot Phang (also equipped with a rather large masked) led the way on the back of a utility vehicle waving a flag of his own to cheers from the crowd.
