Really hoping that it won't be the same times for the second leg. I was hoping to bring my daughter to the game but 7 pm on a Sunday with school the next morning means that it probably won't happen.
That's OK..... He'll finally see the "real NYCFC" he has been wondering about!!!!

Looking at last year's schedule and times, Red Bulls played the 3PM games in both legs of the semi-finals. Montreal and Columbus played 7PM the first leg and 5PM the second leg. Here's hoping that we get 5PM next weekend.
I don't understand why the East doesn't get 3/5 & the West 7/9. Splitting them doesn't make sense with the time difference
They should just keep it the same. You have the big name stars and larger markets playing in the 5 & 7 slots. And the east's other match gets the earlier slot and west the later. It makes sense, why keep us on edge when we have to make plans with our friends and families?
The only thing I can think of is the fact that NYC and Toronto are big markets and they want more viewers during prime time.
Also name recognition for the star power on LA, TOR, COL and NYC. They also lucked out that the big name international stars on NYC and LA are going up against the USMNT stars on TOR & COL. It couldn't have worked out better for MLS from a 4 hour time slot perspective. That's why I don't understand why they don't just line it up the same way the next leg.
Your saying leave nycfc v tor as the 7pm game for the second leg? I know it's not late but it's not family friendly.
It's TV friendly and we have the marathon to worry about. I have a 4 year old myself. She'll go to the next one if the time works out then. She's got plenty of years ahead of her to go to matches with daddy (let's hope she still wants to!).
Mine is 8 y/o and I'm driving in from Rockland but assuming the game starts at 7 and is over by 9 I won't be home until 10 with getting to the car and back onto the highway. It's just way too late. 5 PM would be ideal.
Whatever the result on Sunday, I just don't want the team to pull a D.C., and not show up.
Defensive mistakes are going to happen, that's part of the game-for everyone, not just NYCFC- but let's show up and play for 90 minutes.
This team doesn't have a whole lot of playoff experience among the players, but hopefully our DP can draw on the experience of playing (and winning) that little tournament called the Champions League.

Or that other one called the World Cup...
Regarding splitting the times between East and West, note that ESPN has the two early games and Fox the two late games. My guess is that ESPN and Fox each want one East and one West game - or that they each want one NY game. Either has the same result that East games end up at 3pm and 7pm so that they can each have one.
Regarding next weekend, the networks are going to want to wait to select whichever games seem most attractive and put them in the primary time slots (and split them between each other). You see this all the time in sports, unfortunately. It is the same reason we had to wait until last night to know our game time for Sunday and that the baseball playoff game times often weren't final until a couple days beforehand.
I do hope we get the earlier game. I want to bring my 9-year-0ld, and it will be a very difficult discussion with Dr. G (the wife) if it is a 7pm start.

NYCFC got the FS1 slot at 7. Lalas is going to be shooting his big mouth off during the telecast. NYCFC seems to always play awful when he is the commentator. Doooooooomed.
