WHAT THE CAMERA CAPTURED

<p>The "Send the Bulls" initiative represents a new approach to fan engagement for the New York Red Bulls, combining celebrity appearances with interactive soccer experiences. The club aims to attract a broader audience and strengthen its connection with the local community by involving a Hollywood star like Kal Penn. This follows teams like LAFC and a few other MLS teams that have managed to combine Hollywood star power as an on-field, pre-game attraction.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After their first home game against Nashville SC on March 1, the New York Red Bulls take to the road next to face Atlanta United on March 9 before returning for back-to-back home games against Orlando City and Toronto FC at the Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey.</p>
