\n No tifos. No screaming fans. No sea of blue, or red.<\/p>\n

In a line of some truly deafening Hudson River Derbies, the next iteration will surely be its most silent.<\/p>\n

As the teams announced last week, the Red Bulls and New York City FC will restart their seasons against each other August 20 at Red Bull Arena \u2014 without the normal fanfare of derby day.<\/p>\n

Past derbies have included Andrea Pirlo and Frank Lampard depicted with canes, the crowd-silencing 7-0 thrashing at the hands of NYCFC at Yankee Stadium in 2016, and the same club\u2019s exhilarating 3-2 comeback the next year in front of a raucous Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

This time will not feature the same pomp and circumstance, at least on the field. In eight days, the 17th Hudson River Derby will be a rivalry match distilled to its purest form: two teams who really don\u2019t like each other desperately vying for a win.<\/p>\n

Both teams have struggled for form this season. In 12 MLS matches this year (including NYCFC\u2019s knockout game<\/a>s in the MLS is Back tournament), they have combined for four wins. Both teams have failed to score multiple goals in a match on more than one occasion (five tries for Red Bulls, seven for NYCFC), and New York City is languishing outside of an uber-early playoff picture a season after winning the Eastern Conference last regular season.<\/p>\n

This is still a mammoth match. It just won\u2019t quite feel like it.<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re lucky, the taunts from the crowd will be duly replaced with audible trash talk from the players themselves. If New York City scores a decisive goal, they\u2019ll be no fans in red for them to shush.<\/p>\n

This is the reality of the MLS \u2014 and sports at large \u2014 for now, although FC Dallas announced Tuesday that it was selling tickets for its game against Nashville SC. It is still unclear whether the Red Bulls and New York City will play in front of fans for MLS\u2019 \u201cPhase 2\u201d games (starting after September 12).<\/p>\n

But an empty stadium isn\u2019t all that bad.<\/p>\n

The MLS is Back tournament in Orlando showed how intense crowd-less games can still be, while the NBA\u2019s restart has given an interesting peek into the jawing that fans would normally not hear or notice. This writer actually prefers his broadcasts without enhanced sound (if possible) for that very reason.<\/p>\n

This match should be full of that intensity, even if the empty stands lining the field won\u2019t reflect it.<\/p>\n

Of course, those missing elements will be especially noticeable in a match like this. It\u2019s not hard to imagine \u2014 in an alternate world \u2014 the hordes of fans packing into Red Bull Arena on a sweaty Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Most of those fans would be in red. Others, in blue, would have just arrived via the PATH train. Some would view the Thursday night game as weekend kick-off, splurging on plastic cups of beer while fans in the South Ward bang on a drum for 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

It would\u2019ve been a great night.<\/p>\n

If you can adjust your expectations, it still can be.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
