Leicester to play Pre season game in Lincoln Financial Field

[RagingBull]

We will be playing the Rough Riders at the home of the Philly Eagles Saturday August 8th, For the independence Cup.

Wonder who we will have out.

Can imagine the a few non RWC members squad would def be up for it.

Are you sure about the date? I've come across at least three different sites (here, here and here) that say the match is on 01 Aug, not 08 Aug.

That's an away trip I'd love to be able to afford!

Clearly you have not been to Philly before Iain !

Why isn't this included in my season ticket and a supporters bus put on?

I'm sure the LTASC will be sorting something out

If you do go Iain wear a Dallas Cowboys shirt, the locals will love it

[RagingBull]

New York Giants surely

Think they'd both go down equally well RagingBull

Could be really popular and wear a giants jersey with Cowboys hat gloves and scarf.

Hell throw in a Redskins jackets and people will worship you.

Booked a holiday in the USA before Christmas and promised the family we would go to a game. I did not expect it would involve The Tigers. We will be in Washington that weekend. Four very happy season ticket holders in the house tonight. Yes I’ve been to Philadelphia before and we will be wearing Tigers shirts!

If you don't video yourself running up the Rocky steps in your Tigers shirt I will have nothing but disdain for you

I half expect us to bring half the Rough Riders back with us as signings to replace the leavers and cover us for the world cup

Excellent news though as shown with the soccer experiment I don't think rugby will ever replace American Football, Baseball, Basketball and Ice Hockey as one of the top 4 American sports in terms of participation or spectatorship. I know I have live and worked in the USA. But if it gets a foothold in some American schools and colleges that is something to be hoped for and that's the route Soccer has taken to get into the top ten.
