One of the charter franchises in

Major League Soccer

, DC United has experienced somewhat of a rebirth in recent years with the opening of their soccer-specific stadium. After more than two decades in existence, DC United has a worthy home that further cements the club's soccer tradition. Coached by club legend Ben Olsen, DC United is trying to make their way back to the MLS Cup so the squad can add to its trophy case. The Red-and-Black won the first two MLS Cups ever and have now returned to the MLS playoffs seeking their first title since 2004. Recently, the club has shown a new willingness to invest in recruiting talent, such as when it brought the legendary Wayne Rooney to the club for a stint. The club also paid a record $5 million to bring the Peruvian striker Edison Flores to play for the District. You can see all the excitement up close and in person when you purchase your DC United tickets at StubHub.

'What was the most dramatic moment in DC United history?'

'

Longtime DC United fans who have been around since the beginning of the franchise will certainly recall the Golden Goal. In the middle of a driving rainstorm in the 1996 MLS Cup, Eddie Pope helped United complete a stirring second-half comeback against the

LA Galaxy

with a header off a free kick by Marco Etcheverry. This gave DC United a 3-2 victory in the first championship game.

'Who are the most successful stars in DC United history?'

'Etcheverry is fondly remembered by fans because he helped lead DC United to two MLS Cups and had a prominent role in the team's first MLS Cup victory, while his teammate Jaime Moreno is arguably one of the greatest United players of all time. Moreno made 329 appearances combined during his two stints with the team. Moreno had two seasons with DC United in which he scored 16 goals. Ben Olsen is considered one of the best defenders in club history, anchoring the team's backline for 12 seasons before becoming the team's head coach.'

'What team is DC United's biggest rival?'

'

Initially, DC United's biggest rivalry was with the

New York Red Bulls

due to the proximity of the two teams. Even though there is another team in New York, this rivalry still persists due to the intensity of the games between DC United and the Red Bulls and the fact that the rivalry is already ingrained in the fans. The two teams play every year for the Atlantic Cup.

'What are some DC United fan traditions at their games?'

'

DC United is backed by three different supporters' groups at their home game matches. The Barra Brava, Screaming Eagles and District Ultras pack the stands at

Audi Field

, and any fans can purchase tickets to sit in their section to experience the game from a whole different vantage point. The chants of Vamos, Vamos United come from the Barra Brava section, and they are backed up by a pounding drum that you will hear throughout the match. If you are in a supporter section, you are expected to go with the flow and stand throughout the match, taking a break only at halftime.

'How has DC United fared at the US Open Cup?'
