"Because they have excluded a Tribune staffer from game coverage, for the time being we will cover the team without the media credentials provided by RSL," he added.
RSL chief business officer Andrew Carroll informed The Tribune on Friday that RSL was denying Monson access to cover the contest and future home games, citing continued unhappiness with the writer over a pair of columns he wrote last season that were critical of RSL owner Dell Loy Hansen.
Monson was issued a season credential by RSL to cover the team this season. He attended the team's 2016 home opener and wrote a column off it.
