Responding to rumors circling the internet on Tuesday night that the Bethlehem Steel and other MLS-owned USL clubs could be on their way out, the Philadelphia Union issued a vague statement about the team’s future on Wednesday.
“We love being in the Lehigh Valley and the environment it creates for our player development,” the statement reads. “Our priority is to create a first-class experience for our players and fans, and part of that process includes identifying soccer-specific stadium options in the Lehigh Valley. At the same time, as in any business, we evaluate options as they arise.
