More than 1,000 D.C. United season ticket holders gathered in Georgetown on Sunday for the MLS club’s annual preseason shindig, complete with hot food and cold drink, new merchandise and mingling players.
The function began the countdown to the season opener, March 4, when Sporting Kansas City will visit RFK Stadium. Amid the buzz about the 22nd season, however, another date loomed large on the organization’s broader agenda:
Thursday.
At the end of the business day, while the players resume workouts in Florida, United executives and attorneys will file into Room 220 of One Judiciary Square in hopes of clearing the last obstacle in a decade-long grind to build a new stadium.
