On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Dan Perkin and Scott Bissmeyer, work buddies on vacation, sat on metal bleachers watching the Portland Timbers play the San Jose Earthquakes in the first of four preseason Major League Soccer games that day.
Self-described “M.L.S.
road trippers,” they have visited numerous M.L.S.
stadiums, and have watched teams in Tucson, Ariz., where as many as 11 clubs came together for preseason training in the past.
teams — along with two from the United Soccer League and four from the National Women’s Soccer League — gathered at a 1,000-acre property outside Palm Springs, Calif., for preseason training, Mr. Perkin and Mr. Bissmeyer decided to check it out.
