    02/19/11, Sat - Portland Timbers v Houston Dynamo - 11am - Phoenix, AZ
    02/20/11, Sun - Vancouver Whitecaps v LA Galaxy - 11am - ASU

    Don't know about the 19th. Will try to reach out again to Portland and Houston.
    The LA/Van scrimmage at ASU is probably at the soccer field, located off of Veteran's Way(if I remember correctly), but is probably closed to the public as was announced by the Galaxy(see earlier post in this thread).

    all right could any one help me out on this... the NYRB vs Atlas at the UOP stadium are going up to 111 dollars... is this a mistake or is it real? i doubt anyone will be willing to pay that much especially the hispanics who will no doubt be the main people attending due to marquez and atlas.... with a price that ridiculous almost no one will go:confused:

    Another update. It just gets more complicated, such as RSL training at Reach 11 but playing scrimmages at Casa Grande.

    I'll be at Sporting KC v Columbus today at Reach 11. If you'd like to say hello, tweet me at @soccertwit or look for me with the AZ Sahuaros cap and a camera.

    I'm going to the Crew-Rapids game today. Took me forever to find the schedule/location (I should have started here). MLS needs to start promoting these games like MLB does for Spring Training in AZ. Make it a Destination event.

    We are talking about the MLS. The league that made a major announcement in NYC with Henry and Donovan turn out to be just an all star game. But it would be awesome if they had a site devoted to the preseason like this.

    Happened upon Kansas City's website and they have all their preseason matches listed. I don't know if that goes for all clubs though.

    Most do, but they are not as complete as SKC's. Some don't list times. Some say just Phoenix, no specific venue. You get the idea.

    A change of site for Thursday's scrimmage...

    02/17/11, Thu - Houston Dynamo v Columbus Crew - 11am - Reach 11

    moved from Westside to Reach 11.

    dropingtimbers has a Portland game v Montreal scheduled for the 23rd listed. They also have all of Portland's games being played at Casa Grande.

    Thanks, SWsoccer, for putting this list together. I know I really appreciate it.

    I think the Sounders went to Argentina or somewhere else in South America 2 seasons ago if I am not mistaken.

    I wonder what it was about Greece for the Union.

    As a former Tucson resident i find that not having a Desert Cup thread disheartening. Why did I have to go through so many pages to find something out?

    Make a specific thread for the Desert Cup and push everyone. Hiding the desert cup 10 pages into some random thread is idiotic when your trying to bring Arizona a soccer team.

    I will be in Goodyear on Tuesday the 22nd. Is there any hope of being able to see the Galaxy/Whitecaps game? Can they really close Reach 11 from the public?

    Any locals have any thoughts?
