If you’re a Real Salt Lake follower and happen to track the day-to-day lives of players on social media, you’ll more than likely stumble upon updates on the team’s travel days as you’re scrolling down on your phone.
Like any other traveler, RSL’s contingent of roughly 30 players, coaches and staffers were at Salt Lake City International Airport around 7 a.m., like everyone else a bit bleary-eyed, but staring a seven-hour travel day directly in the face. That’s what it takes for RSL to get to Columbus, Ohio, where on Saturday evening, the club will face the Crew as it does once a season.
