Likely the last we'll see of NYCFC until late August (if they can resume the regular season).

Don’t bother watching. Here are the highlights for our last group match.

 
I do have to say it's pretty unfair to the NYCFC fanbase (one of the larger in the league) that we have two 9 AM games and the other on Univision Deportes. No weekend games either.

We have one of the larger fanbases in the league?

I mean I suppose we're in the top half of the league, but Seattle, Portland, LA, Atlanta, LAFC, Toronto are all bigger than we are, and I would gather if you asked 10 New Yorkers what NYCFC is, 7 of them wouldn't be able to give the correct answer.

We have a dedicated and loyal fanbase, but to call us one of the larger fanbases in the league is not really accurate. Also, the schedule was basically luck based on which group we got it. We were supposed to play Sunday before the schedule had to be changed, so not sure the complaint holds much water. And it's probably a competitive advantage that we're playing a second 9am game, we'll have a better idea how to handle it. Certainly better than the 10:30pm game that was originally scheduled.

NY is a larger market than all of those cities. I think there's a large contingent of potential fans are that opposed to us playing in baseball stadiums and will become fans when we have our stadium.
