- TICKETS: Red Bulls vs. Loons
Here are Five Reasons to Attend RBNY vs. MNUFC:
Protect The Arena
The New York Red Bulls enter the match with a perfect home record. Having won their last three games at Red Bull Arena, including their first MLS game of the year 4-0 vs. Portland Timbers, New York will be looking to continue their momentum.
Fresh Legs
New York played five games over a 17 day period and six competitive matches overall since leaving preseason. With a successful Concacaf Champions League journey thus far, New York has played three more games than most of their MLS competition. With a full week between games for the first time all season, the Red Bulls will look to come out fresh and quick on Saturday.
Depth
Marsch and his staff worked hard in the offseason to create a 2018 roster that has a ton of depth, youth and talent, and it’s beginning to show. In Saturday's game against Real Salt Lake, Red Bulls put out their sixth different Starting XI in competitive matches in 2018. New York has rotated 22 different players through games, including three USL graduates and seven academy graduates.

Defenders Fidel Escobar and Michael Amir Murillo will join Panama as they prepare for the World Cup this summer.
