PHILADELPHIA UNION vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY TALEN ENERGY STADIUM, Chester, Pa. August 27, 2016 (WEEK 25, MLS Game #256) 7 p.m. ET (CSN-Phi; KMCI-38 / SKCTVN) It’s an interconference meeting of teams firmly in the middle of the chase for places in the MLS Cup Playoffs as Philadelphia Union play host to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at Talen Energy Stadium. Union return home off of a second consecutive road win, moving into a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference following their 2-1 win at Columbus Crew SC at midweek. Sporting hit the road off of a sixth consecutive home win last weekend, their 2-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park leaving them in fifth place in the Western Conference, six points above the red line.

It was Sporting’s second consecutive home win in the series; Union had taken points on their previous two trips to face SKC.  Union won the last meeting between the teams in Chester, a 2-1 win Oct. 18, 2014, ending a two-game Sporting KC winning streak there.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. PHI: P13 W5 L4 D4… Jim Curtin vs. KC: P3 W1 L1 D1 PHILADELPHIA UNION Philadelphia Union made it two wins in a row on their travels, defeating Columbus Crew SC 2-1 on Wednesday evening at Mapfre Stadium. Union are in a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference with 37 points from 25 games. LAST MATCH  Union took the lead on the hour. Receiving a pass from Chris Pontius on the right of the area, Fabian Herbers saw his initial attempt at goal blocked, but stayed with the rebound and slotted it home inside the far post past Crew SC goalkeeper Steve Clark.  The home side leveled the score in the 73rd minute. From a corner kick, Tony Tchani's header was parried onto the crossbar by goalkeeper Andre Blake. The ball came back down into the goalmouth and Adam Jahn somehow propelled it toward goal, referee Allen Chapman ruling the ball crossed the line before it was cleared by a Union defender.  But Union scored the winner just a minute later after Keegan Rosenberry took a great first touch in the box on a Tranquillo Barnetta through ball, slotting home the match-winner.  Union manager Jim Curtin made two changes to the team that fell 3-1 to Toronto FC at Talen Energy Stadium. Joshua Yaro came into the back four in place of Ken Tribbett, and Fabian Herbers started in midfield for Ilsinho.  PHILADELPHIA UNION (4-2-3-1): Andre Blake - Keegan Rosenberry, Joshua Yaro, Richard Marquez, Fabinho - Alejandro Bedoya, Warren Creavalle - Fabian Herbers (Roland Alberg 66), Tranquillo Barnetta, Chris Pontius (Charlie Davies 81) - C.J. Sapong. TEAM NEWS  Union made it three away matches in a row without defeat with the win at Crew SC, their second in a row on the road.

“I think our fans have something to be proud of,” Union manager Jim Curtin said. “This team is resilient; it’s a true Philadelphia-type team. It’s blue-collar, tough, doesn’t let adversity get in the way, and in the words of Rasheed Wallace, the ball doesn’t lie.” Rookie Keegan Rosenberry scored his second goal of the season, his first coming on May 11. Rosenberry has a goal and two assists in the last seven matches; he has played every minute of Union’s 26 league matches in his first MLS season. Rosenberry was one of three Union first-round SuperDraft selections to start in the match; Rosenberry was taken No. 3 overall, with center back Joshua Yaro selected No. 2 overall, and Fabian Herbers at No. 6. It was the second time the trio all started in the same league match (also: June 25 vs. Vancouver). “I think Keegan is the best rookie in our league right now; I think he’s established himself as such,” Curtin said. “He’s going to have to score goals, because that’s what everyone loves to vote for — a goal-scorer. But he’s played every minute for us; he’s a warrior.” “Every player, young and old, goes through ebbs and flows of the season,” Curtin said. “This is the first time they’ve put together seven months after a college season that’s two or three with a spring season. Usually you see a dip in form, but for Keegan, Josh and Herbers to step up the way they did tonight in what I would call a big-boy game ... we had to be alert for 90 minutes. I think it shows them growing as players.” Herbers netted his second goal of the league campaign, his first also coming vs. Columbus, on June 1. Herbers was making his first start since Aug. 6, coming off the substitutes’ bench in the previous two matches. Yaro was making his first league start since July 23, having not featured in three consecutive matches before coming off the substitutes’ bench at halftime of the Toronto FC match. “We had a lot of players on the field tonight that I think grew up and took a big step going forward,” Curtin said. “We’re a club that trusts young players and believes in playing young players, maybe more than just tonight. If you had told me before the game that we would get goals from Herbers and Rosenberry, I probably would have told you you were a little crazy, but I’m happy for them.” Said Rosenberry: “It’s a tribute to the leadership for just how the young guys feel. We have a voice, like we have a part, like we feel at home with the team. That’s what gives us the confidence to come out here and play, especially on the road.” Roland Alberg collected his second assist of the season, his first coming on July 9. Alberg has eight goals and two assists on the season, all coming since June 18, over his last 11 league appearances.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won their sixth game in a row on their home ground, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-0 on Saturday evening at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 38 points from 27 games. LAST MATCH  The game's opening goal came in the 39th minute when Jacob Peterson deflected a Nuno Andre Coelho header from a corner kick past 'Caps goalkeeper David Ousted from close range.  Sporting then scored a second when Peterson was pulled down by Whitecaps FC fullback Fraser Aird after entering the box, and referee Kevin Stott pointed to the spot. Benny Feilhaber initially had his attempt saved by Ousted, but the Vancouver netminder came off his line too early, and Feilhaber finished the second opportunity in the 64th minute.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that reached a 2-2 draw with FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium. Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Roger Espinoza and Brad Davis all came into the team, replacing Saad Abdul-Salaam, Ike Opara, Lawrence Olum and Emmanuel Appiah.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Alec Kann - Graham Zusi, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Jimmy Medranda (Saad Abdul-Salaam 70) - Nuno Andre Coelho (Soni Mustivar 46) - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza (Paulo Nagamura 80) - Jacob Peterson, Dom Dwyer, Brad Davis. TEAM NEWS  The win against Whitecaps FC in the league contest was the sixth in a row for Sporting at Children’s Mercy Park, matching their longest since a club-record tying seven home wins in a row during the 2000 season. Sporting last won six home games in a row last year from May 3-July 18.  The Whitecaps FC was the first following back-to-back home shutouts in league play, ending Sporting’s home streak without conceding a goal at 345 minutes.  “Every game at home, we feel very much a sense of responsibility to get three points. Where we are in the table, we have played more games than other teams. … We want to make sure we get one of those home games so getting to that third or fourth spot would be big as well,” said Benny Feilhaber. “It's important to win at home. We've had that mentality and hopefully we can to do that toward the end of the season and pick up some results on the road again and put ourselves in a good position.”  Feilhaber scored a goal and added an assist, the seventh time in his MLS career he’s had at least a goal and an assist in the same game. Feilhaber has six goals and seven assists, the second-most he’s had in a season

in his seven MLS campaigns, after his 10 goals and 15 assists of a year ago. Feilhaber has a goal and three assists over the last four matches. Jacob Peterson scored his fourth goal of the season, matching his MLS single-season career-high set twice previously in his 11 seasons (also: 2006, 2012). Peterson has started 12 league matches in a row, the longest streak of consecutive starts in his career. “It was important for us to get a goal in the first half. We had a lot of set pieces, a lot of maybe not great, clear cut chances, but we were in and around their box. I thought it was important, especially a team like that who is really good on the counter, they like to sit back and counter, so I think it was really important to get that goal. In the second half, I thought we did a really good job to finish off the game and get another one,” Peterson said. Kevin Ellis made his first league start since May 27, coming into central defense and playing the full 90 minutes. But Ellis will miss out on the Philadelphia match following a suspension levied by the MLS Disciplinary Committee. Matt Besler made his first league start since July 13, coming into central defense and playing the full 90 minutes. Besler has made three appearances (two starts) since departing for U.S. national team duty for Copa América Centenario. Graham Zusi lined up at right back and played the full 90 minutes, the second time this season he’s played at fullback (also: May 1 vs. LA Galaxy). “We came in with a very specific game plan and you could tell by the lineup out there, how we had changed things around. They executed very well in the game,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “The biggest thing was the energy level. The energy level was tremendous and it's not like the other team was dealing with heat or anything because it was a nice night. For us to be fitter than they were was big time for us.” On Tuesday, Sporting suffered their first loss in two matches in the CONCACAF Champions League, falling 3-0 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place. Whitecaps FC are winless in their last eight matches on the road in all competitions; in league play, SKC in winless in the last 11 matches, dating back to April 17.

PHILADELPHIA UNION Sporting Kansas City

Gm 27 MLS Matchday

Talen Energy Stadium | Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016 | 7:00 p.m. EST | TCN

Match Preview Philadelphia Union return home this weekend to take on Sporting Kansas City at Talen Energy Stadium. This will be the first and only meeting between the two clubs this season. Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and will be televised on The Comcast Network. Sporting Kansas City holds a slim 5-4-4 series advantage over the Union. Philadelphia and Sporting are deadlocked however, in matches played at Talen Energy Stadium with a record of 2-2-2. The last meeting between these two clubs came in April of the 2015 season. The match featured a thrilling ending in which Sporting Kansas City scored two goals in stoppage time to steal a 3-2 victory over Philadelphia. Philadelphia owns a 10-9-7 record this season with 37 points tying them with New York Red Bulls for third in the Eastern Conference. Red Bull owns the tie-breaker spot on Philadelphia due to goal-differential. The Union are coming off a 2-1 road victory against Columbus on Wednesday. All three first round selections in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft for the Union were in the starting lineup against Crew SC. No. 6 overall pick Fabian Herbers notched his second career goal, both coming against Columbus. MLS AllStar, Rookie of the Year candidate and No. 3 overall pick Keegan Rosenberry recorded his second career goal and proved to be the game-winner. Sporting Kansas City enters the match above the red line in the Western Conference owning a record of 11-11-5 with 38 points. The club is led by the dynamic duo of Dom Dwyer Benny Feilhaber. The two have combined to score 18 goals and record nine assists this season. Dwyer has been the club’s biggest threat on the road this season, he’s scored five goals away from Children’s Mercy Park which is more than the rest of his teammates combined. Saturday’s match against Sporting Kansas City will end a three-game in seven day stretch for Philadelphia. The Union squared off with Toronto FC on Aug. 20, before traveling to Columbus. After Saturday’s match, the Union travel to Chicago to take on Eastern Conference foe Chicago Fire at Toyota Park. This will be the third and final regular season match between the two clubs. Each club has claimed a victory at their home venue. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. (ET) and will be televised on The Comcast Network.

Captain America

Chris Pontius was acquired by Philadelphia Union this offseason from D.C. United via a trade. Pontius spent the first seven years of his MLS career in D.C. and had memorable moments. In 2012 Pontius set a career high in goals with 12, was named to the MLS All-Star Game and was voted the game’s MVP. In recent years, his numbers slipped and it was time for a change of scenery. The change of scenery has been exactly what the doctor ordered.. In his first season with Philadelphia, Pontius has delivered in a big way. He leads the club with 10 goals, just two shy of that career high. His 10 goals are the most by an American player this season. Chris Wondolowski of San Jose trails Pontius by one. The eight-year veteran has been consistent no matter the venue. Half of his goals have come away from Talen Energy Stadium, he is also the team leader in assists (5), shots (53), and shots on goal (26). It is safe to say Pontius is having a career year. On top of his chase to match a career high in goals, Pontius is just one assist away from breaking a career high which was set in 2011. Pontius is expected to be in the starting lineup for Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin on Saturday, that start will give him 26 this season, which would tie another career high set in 2012. There’s no question the contributions from Pontius have given the Union faithful playoff hope.

Head Coach Jim Curtin

Opening statement after win in Columbus “I thought, overall proud of the team. I love this group of guys, there’s no quit in them. Even after we didn’t concede a real goal they battled back and got a second, which shows the character of the group. We had a lot of young players on the field tonight that I think grew up and took a big step going forward. We’re a club that trusts young players and believes in playing young players, and they rewarded us tonight. If you were to tell me before the game started that we’d get goals from [Fabian] Herbers and [Keegan] Rosenberry I would probably tell you were a little crazy, but happy for them. I think it’s a big step in a tough atmosphere. We talked about mentality, to beat a team three times in a year is very difficult, especially a good team that Gregg [Berhalter] has, that’s been playing pretty well in the recent weeks, and is tough to deal with in this building. I think defensively, we worked our tails off, and closed things down and dodged a few bullets and were a little lucky when they missed a few chances. Again, proud of the group, I think our fans have something to be proud of, that this team is resilient.”

On his 2016 rookie class performing “Huge, because again every player young and old goes through ebbs and flows of a season. And this is their first time where now they’ve put together seven months now after a college season that’s two or three with a spring season. So, you usually see a dip in form, but for Keegan [Rosenberry], for Josh [Yaro], for [Fabian] Herbers to step up the way they did tonight in what I would call a big boy game. It’s a real game out there where a team is fighting and is desperate to make a playoff push and we had to be alert for ninety minutes. I think it shows them growing as players, I think Keegan [Rosenberry] is the best rookie in our league right now. I think he has established himself as such, again, maybe he’s going to have to score goals because that’s what everybody loves to vote for is the goal scorer. But, he’s played every minute for us, he’s a warrior, he’s done well.”

PHILADELPHIA UNION TECHNICAL STAFF

Earnie Stewart Sporting Director

Jim Curtin Head Coach

Philadelphia Union hired Earnie Stewart to take over as the club’s Sporting Director on Oct. 26, 2015. He officially started with the club on Dec. 7.

Jim Curtin was named head coach of the Philadelphia Union on Nov. 7, 2014 after taking over as interim team manager on June 10, 2014. Curtin quickly made his mark on the first team as interim manager, leading the Union to its first U.S. Open Cup final appearance in franchise history. Philadelphia lost to eventual Supporters’ Shield winners Seattle Sounders in extra time, 3-1. He brought the Union back to the final in 2015, but they fell again, but in penalty shootout this time.

As Sporting Director, Stewart oversees all Union technical and soccer-related decisions, working closely with the Union First Team, USL team and Youth Academy. This technical leadership role is one the former U.S. National team and three time World Cup veteran knows well from his time as the Director of Football Affairs at AZ Alkmaar, a club he has guided to Europa League qualification the last six consecutive seasons. Under Stewart’s technical guidance AZ developed a reputation for its innovation, player recruitment, and player development methodology. In 2015, AZ Alkmaar was honored with the Rinus Michels Award for having the best youth academy in Dutch football. Stewart was a staple for the U.S. Men’s National Team throughout the 1990’s and early 2000’s, registering 101 caps for the team from 1990 until he retired in 2005. He was a regular starter for USMNT in the 1994, 1998 and 2002 World Cups and his 111 goals as a professional in the Netherlands make him the highest-scoring American in international club play. Stewart also played in MLS during the 2003 and 2004 seasons and was a member of the D.C. United team that won the MLS Cup in 2004.

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 27, 2016 at Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #PHIvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#PHIvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC and the Philadelphia Union square off Saturday in the lone head-to-head regular season meeting of 2016. The interconference clash at Talen Energy Stadium is a rematch of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final, an enthralling affair that Sporting KC won 7-6 in a penalty kick shootout after a 1-1 draw through regulation. Sebastien Le Toux fired the hosts ahead in the 23rd minute, but Sporting KC responded on 65 minutes through a spectacular Krisztian Nemeth strike assisted by Graham Zusi. The sides would go back and forth in the decisive shootout before Jordi Quintilla bagged the winning spot kick in the eighth round. The clubs last met in the MLS regular season on April 5, 2015, at Children’s Mercy Park. A pulsating encounter saw Philadelphia take two leads within the first 20 minutes, an own goal and a strike from Fernando Aristeguieta coming on either side of Dom Dwyer’s 16th-minute tally. Sporting KC would stage a furious late rally, drawing level through Jalil Anibaba in the 91st minute before Krisztian Nemeth poked home the game winner three minutes later for the club’s 1,000th goal in all competitions. The Easter Sunday match was Sporting KC’s first to feature two goals in second half stoppage time since 2007. Manager Peter Vermes’ men lead the all-time regular season series 5-4-4 and own a 6-4-5 record against the Union in all competitions. The two meetings outside of MLS regular season play came in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. In addition to lifting the 2015 title on Philadelphia’s home turf, Sporting KC also claimed a 2-0 semifinal victory at Talen Energy Stadium with goals from Zusi and Jacob Peterson. Philadelphia holds a 2-2-2 regular season mark at home against Sporting KC, with both defeats coming in the first and last matches of the 2013 campaign. The last regular season fixture at the venue resulted in a 2-1 Union victory as Brian Brown and Cristian Maidana scored on either side of Dom Dwyer’s successful penalty kick. #PHIvSKC: Recent meetings in all competitions (Sporting KC leads series 6-4-5 overall; 5-4-4 in MLS regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 27, 2016 at Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes 2015 U.S. OPEN CUP FINAL REMATCH

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES FEILHABER FANTASTIC

Sporting KC (11-11-5, 38 points) concludes a daunting stretch of five games in 15 days with an interconference clash at the Philadelphia Union (9-9-7, 34 points) on Saturday at Talen Energy Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT as the clubs battle for the first time since the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. Sporting KC won the epic encounter in a penalty kick shootout after a 1-1 draw through regulation, lifting the club’s third U.S. Open Cup in Philadelphia’s home venue.

It would have been hard for Benny Feilhaber to replicate a 2015 season that saw him set MLS career-highs with 10 goals and 15 assists. And while 31-year-old hasn’t been as prolific this campaign, he’s still been pretty darn good. Feilhaber tallied a goal and an assist last Saturday to stay within touching distance of New York’s Sacha Kljestan for most combined goals and assists from MLS midfielders since the start of 2015.

LAST MLS MATCH: SPORTING SINKS VANCOUVER

Jacob Peterson and Benny Feilhaber scored on either side of halftime as Sporting KC defeated Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-0 last Saturday at sold-out Children’s Mercy Park. The victory kept Sporting KC (11-11-5, 38 points) at fifth place in the Western Conference and extended the club’s regular season home winning streak to six games, the second-longest in club history. The hosts went ahead in the 39th minute through Peterson, who equalled an MLS career-high with his fourth goal of the season, while Feilhaber sealed the result with a 64th-minute penalty kick. Eighth-place Vancouver (8-12-6, 30 points) slumped to its fourth straight league defeat and remains winless in five trips to Children’s Mercy Park.

KEVIN ELLIS SUSPENDED FOR SATURDAY’S MATCH

TEAM OF THE WEEK: FEILHABER AND PETERSON SHINE

ABDUL-SALAAM HAPPY TO ASSIST

Feilhaber was named to MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week on the heels of a one-goal, one-assist outing. He helped set up Peterson’s opening goal in the 39th minute with a corner kick, then converted a penalty in the 64th minute to seal the result. Feilhaber now has a team-best seven MLS assists, including three in his last four games, to go along with six league goals.

VERMES REACHES 100 REGULAR SEASON WINS

The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended Sporting KC defender Kevin Ellis for one game fine for violent conduct in SKC’s match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC last Saturday. Ellis will serve the suspension during Sporting’s game against the Philadelphia Union this weekend.

Sporting KC enjoyed a comfortable victory last Saturday, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-0 thanks to goals from Jacob Peterson and Benny Feilhaber. The two were recognized for their influential performances on Monday, landing MLS Team of the Week honors from separate outlets.

Sporting KC right back Saad Abdul-Salaam is tied for the lead among MLS defenders in 2016 with five assists. The second-year defender tallied his fifth helper of the season in a 3-0 rout of Seattle Sounders FC on July 24, second most on the team behind Benny Feilhaber’s seven. Abul-Salaam, 24, was selected in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and has since started 34 of 54 appearances for the club in all competitions. Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes earned his 100th regular season win on July 31 with a 1-0 result against the Portland Timbers at Children’s Mercy Park. His 101 regular season victories are tied for seventh most in MLS history and tied for third among active coaches. Among the eight men who have won at least 100 regular season matches, Vermes becomes just the fifth — alongside Sigi Schmid, Bruce Arena, Dominic Kinnear and Steve Nicol — to hit triple digits with a single club. He and Nicol are the only coaches in the group to spend their entire MLS coaching tenure with one team.

ESPNFC tabbed Peterson among its Best XI for Week 24 after the industrious forward netted his fourth goal of the season, tying an MLS career-high. Peterson also had game-highs in shots (four) and shots on goal (three) as Sporting Kansas City moved into a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference.

CCL HOPES HANGING BY A THREAD

Sporting KC suffered a 3-0 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Tuesday night at BC Place, giving the Canadian side a commanding five-point lead in Group C of the 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League. Midfielder Cristian Techera scored on either side of Erik Hurtado’s early strike as Vancouver snapped a five-game winless run against Sporting KC. The clubs will meet for the fifth time this season in all competitions when Children’s Mercy Park hosts the return CCL fixture on Sept. 13. A reshuffled Sporting KC lineup included 10 changes from Saturday’s 2-0 regular season win over Vancouver at Children’s Mercy Park. Center back Kevin Ellis was the lone player to keep his starting spot, joining Amer Didic, Saad Abdul-Salaam and Ever Alvarado along the back line. Goalkeeper Jon Kempin earned his second straight Champions League start, while Soni Mustivar, Emmanuel Appiah and captain Paulo Nagamura manned the midfield. In attack, striker Diego Rubio was flanked by Connor Hallisey and Cameron Porter.

Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson has started 142 of his 241 career regular season appearances. He is one shy of his 100th substitute appearance, which would be sixth most in MLS history. Should he hit the century mark, Peterson would join elite company among other heralded players, including MLS’s No. 2 all-time leading scorer Jeff Cunningham (134 regular season goals).

UALEFI ADDED TO CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROSTER

THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS

Sporting KC signed 22-year-old midfielder Ualefi on a short-term loan from the Swope Park Rangers ahead Tuesday’s Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League match at Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Ualefi joins Rangers teammates Amer Didic and Tyler Pasher on Sporting KC’s CONCACAF Champions League roster. The trio will be available for selection for the remainder of the 2016-17 group stage.

When Sporting KC lifted the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last September, it became the fifth MLS club to win three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005, joining Seattle, D.C. United, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC. Should Sporting KC add to its trophy haul in 2016, it would join LA as the only MLS clubs to win four titles in a five-year span since 2005. Sporting KC MLS Cup (2013), Open Cup (2012, 2015) Seattle Sounders FC Open Cup (2009, 2010, 2011, 2014), Supporters’ Shield (2014) D.C. United Open Cup (2008), Supporters’ Shield (2006, 2007) LA Galaxy MLS Cup (2011, 2012, 2014), Supporters Shield (2010, 2011) Columbus Crew SC MLS Cup (2008), Supporters’ Shield (2008, 2009)

Per league rules, MLS clubs can sign players from their USL affiliate to Short Term Agreements (up to four-day contracts) for CONCACAF Champions League, U.S. Open Cup and exhibition matches. An MLS club can sign a player to a maximum of four short term agreements each season.
