Two of the best MLS expansion teams ever start their seasons off on Sunday evening. Nashville SC, a team that’s gotten almost everything right, travels to Seattle for the first time in their two-year history. Coached by Gary Smith, the Tennessee side is looking to improve on last season’s 7th place finish overall while moving to the West.
It’s also a homecoming for Handwalla Bwana, the former Seattle Sounders HGP.
Smith’s team starts with a 7-match away run due to stadium construction. On May 1 they open their new stadium, the largest built for an MLS team.
