Did you really mean Cortland? It's about 4 hours from NYC. Binghamton's soccer stadium is nicer, and it's closer, only 3 hours away lol.

I was replying to the Medialle stadium being not that great and said that in the area Cortland would be a better option. I clearly wasnt saying Cortland is the best option- actually if you read my post I say "it would be a bad idea."
So yeah, in my post I did mean to say Cortland. But wasn't suggesting it would be a good site, just better than Medialle in that same area. With that said, Bearcats stadium is crap.

Yeah I was lumping them together. And I can't think of many stadiums that are that much better than Cortland? Always been my favorite place to watch games and I've been to just about every stadium in the area as a player/spectator.
Also are you from the Cortland area? Would be cool if I found another local NYC fan.
Edit- I see you're from Binghamton. That's cool! I work there twice a week. And my dad works at the college!
I went to Ithaca so I have a bit of a rivalry thing with Cortland. Heck, I even like Butterfield Stadium better than Cortland's.
Yes, I'm in Binghamton, live and work here. I finished my Master's at BU.

If places like Cortland, Bing and Buffalo are being talked about, UAlbany's new 8,500 seat stadium would be worth mentioning... It's where their D1 football and men's soccer team play. I believe it also has additional grass berm seating available... Having said that, any of these locations are much too far away...
Central Park, open to the public. Would be awesome, truly American soccer passion.
If y'all are talking about places that far away from the city then why not consider Rutgers which is like 40 minutes away? Plenty of seating, grass pitch and European teams like manchester city train there all the time when they are on their summer American tours. A lot of the smaller New York colleges have artificial turf.
USOC will be played somewhere in NYC, maybe north maybe even Connecticut. No way it goes to Jersey.
What is the format of the cup? Is it a straight knockout like the FA Cup or a combination of league table and then knockout like The Champions League?
If it's at UAlbany I would finally get a HOME home game!!!!!!!!
It basically is the US FA Cup, right down to the "seeding" of the different divisions to determine which round you enter by what league you play in, and the qualification tournament for the minnow leagues to send through a set number of representative teams.
Where is the final or is it a two legged affair? It's a quite old tournament as well I think.
one game final. This will be 102nd edition of the US Open Cup, so yes in US soccer terms its ancient.
