GLENDALE — Glendale, known as RugbyTown USA, serves as the home of the professional rugby team, the American Raptors. The team, however, will not be coming home to Glendale next year.
The American Raptors played in the Super Rugby Americas and worked toward “improving the level of domestic talent in the United States” according to the team’s page.
The sight of rugby players at Infinity Park is common for Johnathan Solis.
“Oh, it’s big. I’ve never actually never seen rugby personally, you know, anywhere besides here. It’s when I first witnessed the games and the practice,” said Solis. “I got interested in it whenever I see these guys play and their commitment, how happy they are to be out here. So I know it’s big right here in Glendale.”
