The South Ward remembers 9/11

Prior to New York Red Bulls' match against D.C. United on September 11, 2016, the South Ward - the section of Red Bull Arena that is home to RBNY's three main supporters' groups - unfurled a tifo in remembrance of the events of September 11, 2001.

The tifo was not the only tribute to those affected by the singular tragedy.

@TotalMLS we raised money to buy tickets for first responders each set a ticket meant he would capo in the gear for x amount of time

But the banner provided a simple and memorable expression of the prevailing sentiment of the day.
