In Week 1 of the season, MLS launched a new initiative to bring fans closer to the game, providing for the first time unprecedented access to some of the top MLS personalities. We mic'd up several coaches and players both before and during the matches, including LA Galaxy's Bruce Arena, D.C. United's Ben Olsen and Marcelo Sarvas, Crew SC's Gregg Berhalter, NYCFC's Patrick Vieira, and more.

The inside-access will continue all year, including during Friday night's NYCFC-Orlando City match on UniMas, 7pm ET.
