It has been a crazy day for me here. Busy at work. Busy at life. But I wanted to get to this bit of news before the day really gets away from me. The Union and MLS have scheduled a press conference in Philadelphia for Tuesday, where Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter and MLS commissioner are…[continue reading]

I love it when MLS teams are aggressive with their plans. The Philadelphia Union are indeed one of those clubs. Philly.com is reporting that the club wants to make their home field even bigger.

According to Sports Business Journal, the Philadelphia Union have sold their waterfront stadium’s naming rights to a local power company called Philadelphia Power & Lights (PPL). The deal will be for 10 years, $20 million. Not bad at all for the Union considering Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah was for roughly $1-2 million a year…[continue reading]
