Additionally, three LA Galaxy Season Ticket Members since 1996, the team’s inaugural season, will receive special recognition during the match at StubHub Center. Tom Schoeny, Joanie Schoeny and David Hoy have had LA Galaxy Season Ticket Memberships since the team’s first-ever match, a 2-1 win over the New York MetroStars at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena on April 13, 1996. Ron Hirt, a Galaxy Season Ticket Member since 1996, will be on hand to perform the opening coin toss before the match.


Landon Donovan, the all-time leader in goals and assists for MLS and the LA Galaxy, helped lead LA to four of the club’s record five MLS Cup titles (2005, 2011, 2012, 2014). Donovan retired from the game in 2014 before rejoining the Galaxy for the second half of last season.


Cobi Jones is the LA Galaxy’s all-time leader in games played, games started and minutes, represented the LA Galaxy from the team’s first-ever season in 1996 until 2007, winning two MLS Cups (2002, 2005) and two U.S. Open Cup trophies (2001, 2005). He currently is the Galaxy’s lead analyst on Spectrum SportsNet, the television home of the LA Galaxy.


Carlos Ruiz scored over 60 goals for the Galaxy in just three seasons (2002-04) and helped lead the club to its first-ever MLS Cup in 2002, when he scored 24 goals during the MLS Regular Season, the most of any LA Galaxy player during a single season. That year, he scored the game-winning goal in the 113th minute of a 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution in the 2002 MLS Cup.


Clint Mathis played for the Galaxy from 1998-2000, making over 60 appearances with 15 goals, before returning to the club in 2010 to make nine additional appearances. Mathis currently serves as a studio analyst for Spectrum SportsNet.
