Thirteen months after D.C. United unveiled a new soccer stadium in the District, the MLS organization opened the gates to a venue for its second-division team Friday night in Leesburg, Va.
An announced sellout crowd of 5,015 attended Loudoun United’s 3-3 draw with the Charlotte Independence at Segra Field, which is located inside Philip A. Bolen Memorial Park near the city’s executive airport.
The stadium is part of D.C. United’s long-term plans in Loudoun County. Elsewhere in the park, the team will break ground soon on a training center for the first team, Loudoun United and its youth academy.
