Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber said he is considering a so-called derby week for the Sounders, Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps during the regular season, Steven Goff of the Washington Post reported.

According to Goff, the schedule would resemble something like this: Seattle at Portland, Vancouver at Seattle, Portland at Vancouver.

“The idea is to create a unique event that would stand out in the otherwise mundane regular season,” Goff writes. “It wouldn’t draw the attention of the NHL’s Winter Classic but would generate buzz in the respective cities and soccer-mad region, and attract some national curiosity.”

If the idea becomes a reality, it probably won’t happen until the 2012 season. Goff cites an unnamed source with MLS who said the logistics of getting the schedule set for this season might be too much.
