Chuck Blazer is a case study in corruption 101. His nickname was “Mr. 10 Percent” because he took 10% off the top of all concacaf revenues that he organized. Even gate revenue of a friendly for charity.

Santi should be able to play both legs since it was a red card in Leg 1 and he sat out Leg 2 of the Round of 16. He’s also able to play against LA Galaxy (unless there’s an injury concern).
The Comunicaciones player who received a red card in Leg 2 vs Colorado is suspended for the Leg 1 of this series.
I haven't read anywhere of Santi receiving a multi game suspension. Anything about the Comunicaciones player would be announced closer to when we play Leg 1.
It was also pretty mild as reds go. I'd very very surprised if the usual 1-game suspension were enhanced.
Especially compared to last night where the dude was going for Taty’s blood. He straight up went for the stop 3 times and finally made contact on the 3rd try
I can think of one sponsor that CITI Field has that can't be removed...
I think venue sponsors are fine. Don't know if Citi and Scotiabank are competitors would effect that though.
the stadium name might be fine. i mean RBA is literally a red bull drink ad with the name and signs all over and they are ok with it.

You know when the oral history of NYCFC is written in 20 years it will be revealed that Randy Levine said no the CONCACAF and that they would have been fine with it.
We'll see if they have a semi-final or final matchup against a Mexican team if CONCACAF will suddenly find a way to approve a full house in YS.

I refuse to give NYCFC any shit for the farce that is CONCACAF's stadium rules. This is squarely on CONCACAF. They are making their premier club competition a joke by doing things like this.
It's cool to be in champions league, but I continue to wonder whether the event is worth the hassle.
it is worth the hassle for the name recognition and getting to the CWC. CONCACAF is a joke and always will be until they do better to improve their competitions and products.
Would be amazing if MLS/LigaMX take a future leagues cup to other leagues and make it a "CCL" of sorts with Fifa's approval to allow the winner an entry into the CWC thereby replacing CCL and taking it out of concacaf's hands. But that will probably never happen for many reasons.
What tier is that Twitter source?
If this is true, I want to know why RBA wasn't available. NJ has a home game on the following Sunday. Plenty of time for them to get things ready.

I'll hedge my bets on
"No one wants to go to RBA and they've made that clear, so we're going to hartford."
And then after enough people are like "okay... we'd rather RBA over hartford" they're gonna have the "HAH! I knew it!" reaction
Red Bulls' first home game is March 13. If they are doing construction there, maybe they can't guarantee it'll be ready even five days early?
What construction are they doing? Tarping over even more seats?
