The boys from Commerce City get back in action Tuesday after a two-week layoff. But don't expect to see the regular lineup out there at DSGP.
The Rapids take the field Tuesday in the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, the 103rd playing of the competition. This is the first round when MLS teams enter the competition, and all but the poor San Jose Earthquakes and Portland Timbers will be facing lower league sides from the NASL, USL, PDL, and USASA (Go La Maquina!)
In addition to the trophy and bragging rights, winners of the 2016 Open Cup earn one of the United States' four slots to the 2017-18 CONCACAF Champions League.
