The New York Red Bulls will open their home slate on Sunday night against Minnesota United FC.
Since Red Bull Arena opened in 2010, the Red Bulls have posted a 9-2-2 mark in their home openers. The club has scored 22 goals in those matches, while only allowing nine.
Designated Player Luquinhas, recently arrived in the US and cleared to play, will be available off the bench for New York.
