We have now some extra time to rest, and get acquainted with one another better, so unfortunate the circumstance to lose a member of the MLS family but it may help out TFC a little, prayers going to the Urso family

Having been involved with RPB travel.
I really really hope word gets out.

I would have hoped they would tell us earlier but this is truly a unique situation so nothing more to say. Thoughts are with the Urso family.

Thanks for the update.

Condolences to the Urso family.

Completely understandable why they cancelled the game. Columbus players can now attend the funeral as well - which is tomorrow. Condolences to the Urso family!

Class move by all parties involved. Paying respects to a fallen teammate is the first priority during this difficult time.

Bump to make sure anyone travelling may come across this. Condolences to the crew and the Urso family on their loss.
