More preseason games announced

[ZYanksRule]

I didn't see a team announcement, but the website now lists three more preseason games -- all apparently being played at that Tucson, AZ tournament.

vs. Red Bulls on 2/15
vs. Rapids on 2/22
TBA opponent on 2/25

That gives us a total of five preseason games. We had six last year, so this is probably pretty close to the final list.

That's pretty poor of the front office to know acknowledge that we're playing three preseason games in Tucson. That preseason game against the Red Bulls will be very interesting.

Those 4 PM and 1 PM kickoffs better be live streamed. There goes two work afternoons.

Ah fcknuts.... playing RB in the preseason is a lose-lose proposition. We lose and they'll just add it to their tally, and if we win it'll be dismissed as just preseason.

First historic preseason tie against a rival in Arizona...

Anyone know if these games are going to be televised?

I had been hoping and half expecting there would be additional games. The website for the tournament hinted there would be more. The opponent in the last game depends on the standings after the first 3, so it didn't make sense for there to only be one other game.

I am going to be out there for part of it and might be able to make the Colorado game. Would be fun to heckle Timmy Howard after what happened in Yankee Stadium.

Looks like RSL and the Timbers streamed games on their website last year so I would expect us to as well.

sounders and timbers play each other in preseason almost every year nothing new....the only thing to keep in mind is that RB have a concacaf quarter final a week after this pre season game....sooooo i expect them to be almost full squad and go out as they prep for that

Let's hope so.

This is the major pre-season tournament for MLS teams and has been around for years, so I would expect to have good on-line streams and other similar features.
