Real Salt Lake takes to the road to face the Philadelphia Union on Sunday. Here are three things to know about the Union.
Sons of Sons of Ben
Many clubs boast that they would not be around if not for their wonderful fans. In the Union’s case it is absolutely true. Before MLS expanded to Philadelphia in 2010, Sons of Ben – the club’s biggest supporter group – was formed in 2007. Seeking to prove to the league that a thriving fanbase hungry for a local club existed in the Philadelphia area, the group proclaimed loudly their intent to bring a tremendous atmosphere to the stadium each week.
