The idea of the Philadelphia Union having a better presence in the city of Philadelphia is not a new one, but having a more permanent space to hold events, sell merchandise and market the team is a concept that is being seriously explored.
When the suggestion of a retail store in Center City came up on a recent episode of Sons of Ben: The Pod from co-host Adam Booth, Union minority owner Richard Leibovitch said he “100 percent” agreed.
“When I first joined the ownership that was the first suggestion that I had for the team,” Leibovitch said.
