Ben Olsen: "I'm ok with it. There are real issues in NY & NJ. People are suffering. This seemed to be the simplest solution" #dcu #mls

Don't mind the change in venue for saturday. Some things are bigger than soccer and NY/NJ have bigger issues than soccer right now

I understand fans being upset about switch, but really, it's still 2-game series, not best-of-3. People overthinking it. #mls

This has to be the right call for #DCU #RBNY and #MLS. What happened this week is way bigger than homefield advantage. Not even close.

Conclusion: schedule change not ideal for either club, necessary evil. #DCU did the admirable, humane thing. It's only soccer. #rbny #mls

Just wanted to say it is a very classy move by DC United to switch the home games for our series. Incredible gesture. #respect #DCU #RBNY
