Here are my initial thoughts...
- This schedule is not great for away day supporters. At SKC, At Atlanta, At Portland, At LAFC, At Seattle, At Toronto, At DC are all on Sunday. At Orlando is on a Thursday. (Though combine the Orlando Thursday and Seattle Sunday for a 5 day trip Wednesday-Monday).
- We play Red Bulls and Orlando three times. Thanks MLS for not giving us New England and saving us the extra bus trip rather than flight.
- We have 6 multi-game weeks (Monday-Sunday)
- The season is one week longer, ending on October 28 vs. Philadelphia (not Columbus!)

Why is there almost a month between Minnesota and DC at the end of the year?
Is it just me or are the playoffs a lot shorter?
In fact, there are a lot of weekend evening games this year. Makes it really hard to bring the family. Very disappointing.
Not thrilled with the schedule. Lots of Wednesday night games (can't attend those). Lots of Sunday night games (tough living in Philly).
Overall, probably the most disappointed I have been. Even the home out of conference matches suck. We get LA, RSL, Dallas, Colorado and Vancouver.
You want SKC, LAFC, Portland, Seattle as a fan at home

It does seem a week shorter. I believe there is no international break in November this year.
To further complain:
5 Wednesday night kickoffs
5 Weekend kickoffs after 6 PM, including a Saturday night 8 PM match vs Vancouver
5 Wednesday night kickoffs
5 Weekend kickoffs after 6 PM, including a Saturday night 8 PM match vs Vancouver
So for weekend home matches we have the following start times, any of which that are after 3:30 make very little sense to me (yes I get TV scheduling but the ratings are terrible so why not play at times that are most attractive to families)
12:30
1:00
2@3:30
4:30
2@5:00
6:00
2@7:00
7:30
8:00

Two long weeks in September may sap momentum at the end of the season.
Well, now it's time to overlap the MLB playoff schedule and Citi Field schedule with the NYCFC schedule!
