I wonder if Wiggy Racoon Head even knows we are doing a preseason tour in the States.....

I'm hoping The Rapids will offer us a bag of training jerseys for Comedy Iwobi and Xhakatard.

Or hopefully some of Trumptard's stormtroopers get confused about their passports and detain them at a black site for a couple of years..... :D

Doing a Boston, NY, Phila, Cleveland and DC trip at the beginning of July. Will it derail too much if I choose to do NC/Denver in between Phila and DC? - I believe flight is an hour or so but Amtrak is 8 hours. Alternatively can replace Phila if needed be since I've done it before and it gives me a chance to visit Charlotte or Denver.

Thanks! :)

Charlotte makes more sense as it's far nearer (yeah, about an hour's flight).

Why Cleveland?

Why Cleveland?
charlotte is 400 miles from closest city on your list, Washington DC and 6 hour drive by car. Denver is over 1500 miles and about 5 hour plane flight from any of these cities you listed.

clevand doesn't have much, but does have rock in roll hall of fame and close is American football hall of fame in canton OHio, about 1 hour drive.

I'm going Canton so thought might as well see CLE and say wassup to OBJ 8)

(Never seen Cleveland and thought I'd go to a more low key city and relax. We do US every other year so I'm over the LA, NYC LV hype. Only reason stopping in NY is because of our holiday home)

Scrape Denver then! - Safe to say keep my itinerary as it is and potentially add CHA?

Loving the Colorado Rapids stadium name, Dick's Sporting Goods Park. That's what we should call the Emirates.

Although wouldn't be surprised to see it named Stan's Sporting Goods Park
