2014 Pittsburgh Riverhounds season explained
The 2014 Pittsburgh Riverhounds season was the club's fifteenth season of existence. It is the Riverhounds' fourth season playing in the USL Professional Division. It was the second season the Riverhounds played at Highmark Stadium, a 3,500 capacity soccer specific stadium.
Background
After a modestly successful first season at Highmark Stadium, the Riverhounds, aided by investments of new majority owner Terry "Tuffy" Shallenberger, aimed to make headway on last season's 7th-place finish.
