AS Roma Soccer Team Working Out at Tufts?
If you walk by the Tufts University fields along Powderhouse Boulevard, you'll notice one of the fields is covered in AS Roma banners (they're in the field directly to the east/southeast of the track).

As you may have seen, AS Roma is scheduled to play a friendly against Liverpool FC at Fenway Park on July 23 (Wednesday).

Based on the banners and the fact Roma is playing in Boston in two days, it seems reasonable to conclude one of Europe's top soccer teams will be working out right here in Somerville, which is pretty cool. Also, it makes sense a team from Rome would feel at home next to a chaotic rotary.
Of course, maybe there's another explanation: It could be a PR event or a youth soccer-camp event, or maybe the AS Roma advance team took a wrong turn off Mass Ave. and ended up at Tufts and said, "Hey, a chaotic rotary, feels like home. Let's plant our banners here."
Anyone have details? Did I miss an announcement somewhere? My brief Internet search yielded no results.
