There is some humor in Loudoun United’s opening time for me because after seeing them be one of the last teams to open their home campaigns every year since they came into the League in 2019, they now get the chance to be the first kickoff for the USL Championship’s 2022 season, hosting an Indy Eleven side at Segra Field that they saw last August in one of Loudoun’s more comprehensive wins in recent memory. Given that wins have been a premium for Loudoun over the last couple of seasons, the desire to start the year off on a good foot is desirable but won’t be easy.
