Arsenal face Everton today at the Charm City Match in Baltimore, Maryland, at the M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens. The match is the first stop of the Gunners’ preseason tour of the United States, which will continue on Wednesday, July 20 with a game against MLS’s Orlando City and conclude against Chelsea on Saturday the 23rd.
Let’s make this post also work as a thread of correspondence for everyone you look at. Please chat with each other in the comments! Alignments will be posted when available.
I will attend first as a fan, not as a writer, but you will receive a report and maybe even some on-site images today or tomorrow. For those of you who can’t attend (i.e., don’t live on the East Coast / don’t want to travel for a preseason exhibition game, which I totally have), there seem to be transmission and broadcast options.
The match should be broadcast at the Stadium, direct link here. Stadium also has an app on Roku, Fire TV, the Apple app store and the Android store. It looks like the stream should be free in your app and browser. The stadium is also aired in some areas. Your website, watchstadium.com, has a search function to find the OTA channel in your area. Most TVs have a built-in antenna and a search function to find the OTA channels that the antenna can pick up, but your mileage may vary. Integrated antennas are uncomfortable in terms of strength.
The match will also be played on Arsenal.com, but will cost £ 6.99 on the Arsenal Player app. I have bought pre-season reproductions at the club in the past and I can confirm that it works. I can’t say the same about the Stadium, but I have no reason to think it won’t work.
