With no game to play this weekend, the Union are keeping things fairly quiet. But the team can see its most important — and arguably its most difficult — stretch of the season on the horizon.
From Sept. 15-29, the Union will play five games in 15 games across three time zones. Just two, Sept. 15 vs. Montreal and Sept. 23 vs. Kansas City, will be at home, and in between those will be a cross-country trek to a Wednesday game at Seattle.
They played five games in 14 days from May 26 to June 8, though three were at home — including an Open Cup game against second-division Richmond — and one was a bus trip to the New York Red Bulls.
