The MLS Colorado Rapids and the USL Colorado Springs Switchbacks play exactly 75.3 miles away from each other along the I-25 Corridor. While the Rapids were one of the original MLS squads fielded in 1996, the Switchbacks are in their second year and making some noise near the top of the USL Western Conference.
Even though our USL partner is (at least until the end of the year) the Charlotte Independence, we’re seeing more and more interplay and partnership developing between these two Colorado clubs. So I began thinking: what is the future between the Rapids and the Switchbacks?
