According to Andy Mead's master event calendar at http://www.ibiblio.org/footy/ecg_2003.xls

July 16 - Third Round
August 6 - Quarters
August 27 - Semifinals

All of those are unconfirmed via a Columbus Dispatch article

Wow. How cool. An Open Cup final DURING the MLS season. It'll be nice to see the teams involved actually in in-season form.

If July 16th is one of the dates, I wonder how the Galaxy will participate, if they are going to Korea for that tournament.

Also, the Gold Cup is scheduled for 7/12-26, which means the National team players will be missing.

Like I said, those aren't official. And Andy has had them on his schedule for a bit so they may be from an older report.

Won't they be playing A-League teams on that date? I think the teams should be able to live without their National Team Players.
