VANCOUVER, BC – Time to rack up those air miles!
MLSsoccer.com has calculated each team’s total travel distance in 2018 and – surprise, surprise – Vancouver Whitecaps FC are at the top of the list. According to MLSsoccer.com, the ‘Caps will travel a total of 51,178 miles (or 82,363 kilometres) for their 17 away matches this season.
Full disclosure: this wasn’t a scientific calculation. For any given road trip, MLSsoccer.com simply took the distance between each team’s stadium “as the crow files” and multiplied it by two to make it a round trip (not taking into account connecting flights and such), but you get the point.
