Philadelphia Union Chief Business Officer Tim McDermott hosted about 17 fans from Twitter on Tuesday night for a three-hour conversation at The Wharf Building in Chester on the team and its future.
After starting off with a salute to Union Twitter folk hero “Union Hulk,” who was unable to make it due to obligations at Rico’s, McDermott gave a synopsis of things to come and goals the organization has set for itself.
Topics discussed included: revamping the Union Foundation, increasing attendance, waterfront campus planning, Bethlehem Steel; reaching out to women, Latinos and the African-American community; streaming and TV deals, the academy, winning and strategies to becoming recognized as a Philly team.
