To do their part for the cause of the day , $3 of each ticket bought will go to Autism Speaks. The Believe Program,  is an outreach initiative for young athletes with special needs. This is a piece of Red Bull's large player development system catering to those of all level in the game. This program is intended solely for bringing the chance to learn and play soccer to all youth with special needs. 

RBA is a fortress as they have gotten all of the possible 9 points there while obliterating the opposition in goals 10-1, never playing from behind. The best home record in MLS since RBA opened is being bouyed by this hot streak with their 87 wins and points total of 291. 

BWP leads the team with 7 goals and 5 assists overall, yet 13 players have found the back of the net and 14 have assists, a wonderful balance.  During MLS matches when BWP has a goal and an assist the team record is 9-0-1.
