That would be badass. I wish it would be played somewhere closer than California.

But it's not really having the derby.....

You won't get the same passion and effort as in the real deal.

Don't think I can swing California, but I can try.

Even as a skins fan I hate FedEx

M&T in bmore is much better

I saw Chelsea vs Milan there way back and it was awesome.

All the bars and pubs in the area made an awesome pre match atmosphere.

I saw City v Inter there. Some stupid MLS ref gave Patrick Viera a red card early and we had to watch 10 v 11.
Still a great weekend at the Harbor.

Why is it stupid? For American fans of either Manchester side (which there are plenty), this is really cool. We get that it won't be a classic match with all the top players.

Bc Derby matches should be in a real competition.

dude, you seriously are so weird.

this will be a fun event, even if it lacks the quality and passion typical of this derby.

plus, city need to take any chance they get to play in front of a sold out crowd.

I don't love the idea myself. Would be nice to see them match against some other leagues but I wont lose any sleep either way. (and I do get the nostalgia of it so I can understand the excitement)

dont get me wrong i think its awesome clubs tour around the world for their fans to see them, but something like a derby is special and should not be watered down in a preseason tourny. Nothing weird about that and lots of people would agree.

Yeah, to each their own.

If it was in Frisco or at AT&T Stadium I'd go, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to see any Manchester Derby that isn't in either Old Trafford or the Etihad.

And since one is typically sold out and probably a bitch, or maybe impossible, honestly have no clue, to get tickets for, looks like it's the Etihad.

I view this as one step closer to having real EPL matches outside the U.K.
