Salt Lake kicks off its 30-game regular season schedule at home on Saturday, March 29, against Chicago. Other season highlights include David Beckham's lone visit on May 3 and Real Madrid returning to Salt Lake City this year for an Aug. 9 exhibition game at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
RSL will spend virtually the entire 2008 season playing at Rice-Eccles Stadium this year. Construction on the Sandy Stadium is about 60 percent complete, according to project manager Mike Steele, and the team is hopeful it can play two regular-season games in the new stadium in October.
If construction goes smoothly this spring and summer, those two games would be on Oct. 9 against New York and then Oct. 18 against FC Dallas.
