Since a long period of time, the club of DC United had aimed the month of June of 2018 as the turning point. It was the time everything would transform for 1 of most storied institutions of American soccer, which had also fallen on a tough time in recent years. And as it took place, the opening of an all-new stadium worth $400m in last summer also coincided with a controversial upturn in the fortunes for the club.
