Ridsdale will also visit the New York Mets to see how they make a match day experience for their fans. The Mets, a baseball side, moved into their new stadium in April.
"I will spend a day at the New York Mets behind the scenes, looking at how they market their product," Ridsdale told the Echo.
"I want to look at their ticketing policy and what we can potentially offer our fans to make match day more then just 90 minutes of football."
But Ridsdale believes that his quest to secure additional finance from the American banks is the key part of the trip.
"The club has conducted talks with these banks for a number of months to repay the debt to Langston," he explained.
"Now the stadium is up and running we are in a more positive position to take those talks to a different level.
"We have a major asset in the stadium now, it's not in the planning stages, it's not all pie in the sky, the stadium has been delivered and that puts the club in a great position to form a bigger income stream than we had at Ninian Park.
"I would not be here in the States if issues could be done over the telephone. Matters have progressed further and meetings can now be done face to face.
"The sooner we can pay off the debt and be masters of our own destiny the better."
Manchester Utd, Liverpool and Aston Villa are all owned by Americans and Arsenal have a big American investor.
