Philadelphia Union Academy game moved from PPL Park to training fields

The U.S. Development Academy quarterfinal originally scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. at PPL Park will now be played at 5 p.m. on the training fields outside the stadium.

The game was moved because of re-sodding of the field in the stadium.

UPDATE: Due to the re-sodding of the stadium, the Academy game vs @NERevsAcademy has been moved to the Training Grounds @PPLPark at 5:00p
