Home & Away openers for New York Red Bulls announced

The New York Red Bulls have not started a season at home since 2011, when they hosted the Seattle Sounders. Now, after winning the 2015 Supporters' Shield, they'll be able to lift a banner at home to open the year. They will take on Toronto FC, and reigning MVP Sebastian Giovinco, in their season opener
