That's my point. If they win it again, then it opens another spot for the combined tableNope. Already in from USOC last year
Race for CCL Spot 2019

- Start date
Yup if SKC won the most combined 2017 and 2018 points, they couldn’t occupy that spot because they already have one from 2017 Open Cup win.
Which means...ahh who the hell knows. This is Concacaf, they could just invent some new way to fill the last spot.

The Atlanta match coming up is HUGE.
It seems more than very likely that for NYC to finish ahead of Atlanta, we will have to do better enough on Away games to overcome what I expect will be ATL's advantage at home. I will very surprised if we match or exceed them in points won at home. But I also think that means this is a situation where there is almost only upside for us in this game. Any NYC result is huge, while a loss just holds serve.
It’s really just a three horse race now for that spot. I think we get it based on depth. Can’t wait for that scheduling fiasco for the front office and CONCACAF.
Citi can be our home CCL grounds. YS home for reg season.
lol i literally thought about this during the week......but that could also be problematic....early rounds are fine ( february/ march) but semi's and potential final is right during opening of the season
the issue with that is we dont know if it fulfills the capacity requirements and other stadium venue requirements for the CCL.....although its concacaf so who knows. but you sure as hell not hosting a nycfc vs chivas/ america or even something like nycfc vs toronto in that venue
We're gonna end up at Met Life for big CCL games. That's my call at least.
I thought we got banned from Fordham after the ruckus with the Cosmos.
lol totally forgot about that....but i thought it was the rumor going around not that it was official....but you could be right.
I am also not sure it ever got past the rumor stage either, but it certainly could be true.
We are going to need a spot for US Open this year too, so it will be interesting to see how that shakes out.
i took quick look at potential june dates and i think all have yankees at home or less than three days after a home game. so i dont think we host it this year.
Whether or not we host it is up to the people running the US Open Cup, and the rules of that competition, which include a random component, I believe.
If we advance this year, the odds that we are picked to host at least one game will rapidly approach 100%. If we are picked to host, we will need to figure out where to do it. No easy answers, but we dealt with it two years ago.

i thought the rule was that if both teams wanted to host a "coin flip" was done to determine who hosted. if only one team applied to host then it would automatically go to them.
it could be that nycfc says no, well go away for in the first round. and see what what happens should they go to the next.
The club has until May 11th to submit an application to host for the Fourth through Quarterfinal rounds. They have to name the venue and it must be available on their match day and the day after.
If both clubs in a pairing have applied to be hosts they flip a coin. It’s not explicitly stated what they do if neither team in a matchup has applied.
Good stuff. You know it better than me. I had thought there was some other criteria around who had hosted more recently.
In any event, I suppose it is possible that we decide not to apply, but I just don't think that's likely.
