Black Excellence Night
Presented by nVent
After holding a conference-leading Vancouver Whitecaps side to a scoreless draw, the Loons are continuing their stretch at Allianz Field by hosting reigning Western Conference champs San Diego FC this weekend. A decisive home victory could turn the tides for this Black and Blue squad ahead of a busy Leagues Cup, and with Mikey Varas’ San Diego struggling to live up to their expansion season glory, Saturday seems like a good opportunity for the Loons to make a statement.
Here’s everything you need to know before the Black and Blue take on the Chrome and Azul.
