This information gives us the first known time we will see the team in action in 2016. Additionally, it gives us a clue of where the Red Bulls plan to spend their preseason.

Traditionally, the Red Bulls have spent their preseasons in either Florida, usually in a tournament at Walt Disney World, or in Arizona for the Dessert Diamond Classic.

This game indicates that they Red Bulls will probably spend their preseason in Florida and the east coast in general.
