Franklin Field a soccer venue again?

A proposed U.S. Open Cup match the Philadelphia Union is trying to make work at Franklin Field may not be the only soccer played at the historic venue on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in 2019.

The National Independent Soccer Association club announced for the Philadelphia market in October appears to be targeting the 52,000-seat West Philadelphia venue as their home venue for the league’s inaugural season slated to start in August. The team, according to a graphic shared in the Twitter post below, will apparently be named the Philadelphia Fury.
