Union Looking At Alternative Venues For Opening Day

Confirming a report made by the Wasington Post's Steven Goff on Wednesday, Philadelphia Union president Tom Veit acknowledged this morning that the club may end up playing their first-ever league game in a venue other than the 18,500-seat stadium that is currently being built for them in Chester. Instead, there is a possibility that the team will kick off their first season in the league at 68,000-seat Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles.
