    For fun, guess which MLB park came in dead last for cleanliness in this ranking before you click. Bon appetit! http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/25316231/health-inspection-reports-find-critical-violations-nfl-nhl-nba-mlb-stadiums-2018-espn-lines

    2019 Season Ticket Thread

    I have (been supremely bored enough to) at various times tried to see if I could understand our attendance better by looking at how many tickets are available from the club for specific matches over the course of time. After a few attempts it became clear things were appearing and disappearing...

    2019 Roster Discussion

    Chanot's a little bit of a surprise but with potentially Houtondji/Callens/Ibeagha that's a pretty good set with Sweat in an absolute emergency situation. Why would we make Abdul-Salaam an offer when we couldn't be assed giving him a chance last year??

    Would be great if there was some way to get him back here for a testimonial friendly, but with concurrent seasons with Japan and the stadium, it’ll probably take until the DV statue unveiling to get him a proper sendoff

    2019 NYCFC Kit Thread

    I just don’t get this design. Why not maintain the stripe and put Etihad or even just the D in white? The sponsor breaking the stripe makes it dominate the shirt

    Sportswashing and CFG

    I'm on the high end of trying to always make ethical consumption decisions and the UAE connection has bothered me from the start. I’m in the process of moving to Melbourne, my reason for not renewing for 2019, and as that’s taken shape I’d had the sense that I’d switch over to Melbourne City to...

    A couple wisps of smoke, but I figured since I found it and it hadn't been posted before I'd throw it in here. From the 9/17 meeting of Queens Community Board 4: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/queenscb4/downloads/pdf/minutes/2018/09-17-2018.pdf "Queens Borough President Melinda Katz stated...

    U.S. Open Cup 2019

    Unfortunately, no luck this year for the local amateur sides (or for us getting local away cup draws) New York Pancyprian-Freedoms and Lansdowne Yonkers (formerly Bhoys) were both bounced in qualifying Brooklyn Italians, Rough Riders, Cosmos B, and Red Bull U-23 will still be possibilities from...

    White Supremacists In Supporter Section

    Personal opinion, if someone was acquitted or served their time, they should have a right to reapply. I think the club should be acting publicly now and should, given that these are charges and not convictions, have a mechanism to review the case if things change, I assume they would. To the...

    White Supremacists In Supporter Section

    More clearly that there's been an in-depth discussion of how far the ban should extend, when there's no proof that any banning even exists. That's a little cart before horse for me, why go to the mattresses on a possibility of widespread banning that seems 99.99% likely to not happen. I think...

    White Supremacists In Supporter Section

    Let's find some things we can agree on: 1) Someone who has been attending matches is involved in a hate group and has been charged with assault. Everyone seems to consider this a problem thankfully 2) Additional attendees, associated with a couple of supporters groups have been, and continue...

    Eloi Amagat [Midfielder]

    Think it's still an impossible argument. Tommy and J-Lew and Bedoya and Sands could've all been in the mix, but we're tilting at hypotheticals about players that never or almost never played, or almost never played under Dome. The primacy effect is strong, and fans saw someone go straight into...

    Unpopular Opinion: I want the Red Bulls to Win MLS Cup this year

    Unpopular Opinion: I want the Red Bulls to Win MLS Cup this year

    I'm at a coin flip on whether you're trolling (but if not welcome!) but I don't think that even NYCFC winning the cup would help our attendance, so Red Bull absolutely not. If people live in New York and care at all about soccer, they know where to find us. People don't come because they don't...

    2018 Attendance Thread

    Felt like fudging our attendance a little So our average was "up" over last year 23,211 > 22,321 but I think it's worth normalizing 2017 given the 2 non-Yankee Stadium dates. With that in play, the average for 2017 bumps up to 23,278, ahead of this year. Going further to normalize each year...

    FC Cincy changed their crest for the move to MLS, old one at the top "The new FC Cincinnati crest was developed as a representative of the city. Inspired by Cincinnati – itself a city on the rise – the crest highlights the region’s German heritage in a modern manner. The winged lion has been...

    2019 Roster Discussion

    The allowances are by individual contract not stipulated by the CBA, but the CBA says that they are part of the salary budget charge. So it's not something where NYCFC could go crazy and pay for everyone's housing with no effect

    In the sense that it agitates people who don't like giving away value to wealthy organizations that don't need the money and heightens the focus on those kinds of deals, yes
