We still have three days - I'm confident we'll have over 3,000 people if all goes well!

I am in 126 row 10. Driving down from Albany. Luckily I can wrap it up into a business trip in the area so the timing is perfect! I was going to boycott but I realized I would only be depriving myself a chance to see a great match. FO knows what a f**k up this is and from all aaccounts it was definitely NOT their choice to play at RBA.... #COYBIB #NYisBlue
if your metro card is unlimited then no,you have to get the two ride pass pr whatever its called. If your metro card is pay per ride then it works. At least it did last time.
3000 will feel so sad compared to our usual crowd. really rough timing and obviously, location for our fans. i hope there's well over 3000 showing up for this. i'll be there at midfield!
I hope people have a "where are the Red Bulls playing their Champions League game" banner ready, because I suspect a good number of RB supporters will be there to toss the bants.
no, i haven't. but none of those have been in an actual stadium. so it's a bit different.
Anyone tailgating beforehand? I know timing is tight with a 6pm kickoff.
2500 fans in RBA - crickets
2500 fans at St Johns - fans jumping over the side to celebrate with the players
I’ve been to a game at RBA with the fans only in one side (similar to this setup) and the rest of the stadium completely empty. It’s eerily quiet. Up to us to change that. Given that this game is basically “NYCFC nerds and forum member meet-up”, at least we’ll have hard core fans there.
given that the supporters groups are boycotting, I can imagine there won’t be any type of tailgate beforehand.
I’m just waiting to see if the stadium plays Bulls on Parade after an NYCFC goal.
You belong to the city would be more appropriate.
I did a quick calculation from the sold tickets -
Three full sections of 15 rows * 37 seats are sold out ... = 1575. A fourth section, with 17 rows, is almost sold out as well, bringing the total to > 2000. Other sections also have a bunch of tickets sold, which I'd say is probably close to another 2-500... So I think currently we're looking at 2,500 people.
Belson would have been nice here

my worry is when/if concacaf makes us continue to play at RBA in the next round, will fans show up? I hope so. if supporter groups continue to boycott, i'd be disappointed.
even with no boycott and change in time ( say 8 PM) that place is not getting 10K. at most it will be 5/6K.
