Since there are no professional major league teams in Chester County,today we travel a short distance out of the county to visit PPL Park, Home of the Major League Soccer (MLS) team Philadelphia Union. PPL Park is a pleasant surprise amid the city of Chester. Philadelphia was awarded the MLS 16th team on February 28, 2008. The Union played their first game on March 25, 2010. The name Philadelphia Union signifies the Union of the 13 Colonies of which Philadelphia was the first capital. The team’s primary colors are navy blue and gold representing the Continental Army’s uniform during the Revolutionary War. The light blue in the center of the badge represents the civic flag of Philadelphia. “Sons of Ben” are the team supporters and proudly wear light blue. You can’t miss them. They march in to the beat of bass drums and sit on the River Side cheering the entire game.
Union tickets start at $25, making it an affordable professional sports outing for families. The stadium is approximately 30 minutes from Exton, PA, depending on traffic. It’s fun to get there prior to game time and tailgate in Lot B, close to the stadium.
Check the Union schedule and plan to see a game in the new state of the art stadium along the river.
GO PHILADELPHIA UNION!!!
