The Portland Timbers, fresh from Friday's 2-0 win over the New York Red Bulls, returned to the adidas Timbers Training Center Monday morning for practice. However, this training session was a little "darker" than normal.
With a near total eclipse at hitting much of the state of Oregon–99.6% at the training center alone, according to Vox.com–Timbers players went out to warm up ready for the temporary black out. Timbers head coach Caleb Porter was asked about the phenomenon at last Wednesday at his weekly press conference.
"We’re going to have some glasses," he said.
