Makes it worth it to finish first, and home field becomes very important. Finally they get it right(er).Take this as you will
Not to mention a much less agonizingly spread up playoff schedule.
If the Yankees and NYCFC are both in the playoffs there's a problem. If the Mets somehow also qualify, it gets really ugly.
The anarchist in me wants the Mets to sign Harper. Let’s have them all make the playoffs and watch the heads explode.

Looking at it, do they plan play the 1st rd on Wed/thurs (11/16-17)? Then rd 2 sun 11/20? That would give 2 weeks between conf final & mls cup.
Whoever made those weird-ass colors made it unclear that that's october 16th, not november.. november starts half way into that blue area. They could probably make the playoffs just 4 straight sundays and be done with it?
NYCFC never make MLS Cup Playoffs again thanks to PRO.
I think you’re right. The 10/16-19 if for players to return and practice from their international breaks. Just play 4 straight Sunday. Most fair and keeps momentum.
Or thanks to CFG. But seriously, with 7 teams now going, we always field a team that makes the playoffs. But at this rate we never field a team that gets that 1 bye.
I am not at all confident Dome can lead us to finish ahead of 4 teams.
At least it’s played at their home. Before 1&2 seeds had to travel after their bye. It is a long time, but hopefully lets players recover. Especially if the good ones just played across the world during the first week ‘off’.
Regular season still starting on March 2. So, 2 weeks taken off the season's length (without counting the week off during the October international break).
Has this been announced?
It says so at the bottom of the post
I looked twice for that and missed it. Thanks.
Same here, I saw someone wrote that and went back and reread the whole thing a few times before I found it lol
