Penn FC entered a hectic news cycle on Monday with the unexpected announcement that they would be going on hiatus for 2019 ahead of dropping down to USL League One in 2020. Naturally there was a lot of conflicting information that was circulating about what the information meant for the future of professional soccer in the Harrisburg area. So Penn FC managed to clear the air a little bit with a letter from owner Eric Pettis that was sent to season ticket holders before being released to the public.
Much of the confusion about what was going to happen with Penn FC stemmed from a news release on the Rush Soccer website that was posted on October 8th before being deleted on the 10th.
