I am bummed that I am now going to be out of the office the rest of the week and won't even get to drop by and watch.

They’re starting to put stuff on social media. And it looks great. It’s cold outside but it looks amazing. The field is right by where the Christmas tree would be behind the rink and in front of the main building.

I would have written, there's a good chance of soccer in your neck of the woods.

Just saw two tourists lose it when they were told that David Villa would be here. They kept yelling "David Villa? Spain?" while pointing to the pitch. Then the rep would answer "yes". On repeat x 10.

Yeah, I walked by around 12:30 PM. Rockefeller Center is a tourist play, not really a place where native New Yorkers go unless they work there. A lot of tour groups, student groups, etc.

The field is smaller than the social media photos but larger than I thought.

That's great.

This is right next to my office, so I am going to budget a little time to check it out on the way home.

I have a feeling this will do a lot towards marketing the team. This better be annual.

I work in the building so I have been checking in. We will have to grab lunch one day!

Streaming live now on Facebook. Of course nothing is happening until 4, but at least we know they will at some point show some action.

You know, I can't help but think of Red Bull fans in NY. Between this and the NYCFC soccer field initiate, I'm certain their are seriously questioning how much "NY" the Red Bulls really are.
