The new MLS Next Pro league starts this weekend with Rapids 2 (or as I prefer to call them, Los RapiDos) getting their first game on Sunday. Earlier this week the Rapids announced that all Rapids season ticket holders can get tickets to Rapids 2 games for just a processing fee of $4. Games will be held at the University of Denver soccer stadium on DU's campus. 3 games this season will be at DSG Park, two of them will be doubleheaders with the first team and the third will be the MLS Next Game of the Week.
The first game on Sunday will be a 4pm at DU's stadium. Inconvenient timing with the USA-Panama game starting at 5.
Also this week the Rapids filled out the RapiDos roster by signing 10 academy players to amateur contracts and loaning a number of first team players to the second team. Those loaned players are able to be recalled to the first team at any time. The 8 players are Abe Rodriguez, Seb Anderson, Michael Edwards, Anthony Markanich, Jackson Travis, Philip Mayaka, Dantouma Toure, and Darren Yapi. One player from the first team can removed from any cap hit if he stays with Rapids 2 all season (never appears on a first team matchday roster) and makes no more than the senior minimum. My guess for that would be Yaya Toure.
All games will also be available streaming on mlsnextpro.com
