PORTLAND, Ore. – Kicking off the 2015 season presented by Simple and celebrating 40 years as a club since the team’s founding in 1975, the Portland Timbers play host to Western Conference foe Real Salt Lake at Providence Park on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. (Pacific). The match, presented by Providence Health & Services, will be broadcast live on ROOT SPORTS with local radio broadcasts on 750/102.9 The Game (KXTG) and in Spanish on La GranD 1150 AM (KGDD).
