SYNRGY Relevance

This is the first “super campus” in MLS — academy, school, first team, and second team all on one site. It represents a new standard for youth soccer facilities in the region. Any SYNRGY-acquired club in eastern PA would compete with this facility for player attraction. However, the Union does not rent this facility to competitor clubs, making it a competitive moat rather than a shared resource.
