Real Salt Lake opens preseason on Monday when the team departs to Casa Grande, Arizona for the first of four different locations for camp as the club gets ready for the 2017 MLS season, kicking off March 4 at Rio Tinto Stadium against Toronto FC.
It’s bound to be a different looking team that takes the field, with many young faces joining the roster this off-season and others pressed into greater roles after the departures of some key pieces. However, nine of 11 starters for RSL will return in 2017 and several other players are competing for starting roles all over the field.
