Well folks, it’s about that time. We’re halfway through D.C. United’s shortest offseason in its history and, coincidentally, exactly two months away from our home opener on Saturday, March 9 against Real Salt Lake. Not only that, but the full-season MLS schedule was just announced today, so there’s plenty to be excited about.
March is sneaking up on us, and we like it.
Below is the duration between each season. We measured it by examining the club’s final regular-season or playoff (if applicable) game and the first MLS match of the ensuing campaign.
