Manchester City v Inter Milan
On Saturday, July 31st Manchester City Football Club will play Internazionale Milano, commonly known as Inter Milan. Manchester City is a member of England’s elite Barclays Premier League and is making their first trip to the U.S., while Inter Milan competes in Italy’s top league, Italian Serie A. This is the second consecutive year that M&T Bank will host teams from two of Europe’s top soccer leagues. Last year’s A.C. Milan vs. Chelsea matchup was a sell out and we anticipate that tickets for this match will go just as fast. Don’t miss the chance to see these two internationally recognized teams, as well as many star players.

Alex Ferguson said:
“It’s great to be going back to North America. I enjoyed the last two tours there in 2003 and 2004 immensely. The quality of the facilities is outstanding and there is a real enthusiasm in the crowds. It’s especially pleasing to be going in a World Cup year, when the interest in football will be at its height.”
