You read that right: The Whitecaps are technically the “home” team. And they’ll be hosting the last of their home matches at Providence Park for the remainder of the season. Hopefully they’re good house guests, not the ones that come in eat all your food and several days later are like “Smell ya later, dude!.”
Regardless if this is a home match or not for the Timbers, they’re playing at Providence Park — though not having the Timbers Army in full voice is a bit of a downer and usually plays into the home pitch advantage. So what if we’re the road team?
