Sorry but a massive difference between playing in Hartford and New Jersey. When your whole reason for existence is that you’re NOT the team in NJ that pretends to be from New York, you just can’t do this

i suspected the same, a nycfc vs tigres ( tigres fans DO travel, plus they also have groups across the country - i dont think they have a nyc group but they do have a NJ one, based on pics i seen before) will be more appealing than a nycfc vs san carlos
In mid-day, it’s an hour and 15 from my office on the NY/CT border. Can’t imagine what it would be at 4:30. And the parking there is atrocious.
true but here is where we are, there is no stadium and the baseball stadium not going to open, if twitter is believed they thought of CT again but wanted more "local" so they went to RBA. honestly yes it kills the brand more but this is a game that was not going to be attended well in the start anyway.
the death of the brand is a league/ playoff/ final played at RBA....honestly we are not that far off from that.
erm... what?
sharing a stadium with RBA for league games ? ( im assuming thats what he was alluding to) yes i think thats the start of the end of the little support we have, its not huge numbers.
I agree, they are getting pretty short on talking points and clinging to the few they have left at this point. They lost the heart of their team in less than 3 years, Marsch, Dax, Kljestan, BWP gone. They lost their promising young guys in Adams and Lawrence with Long likely gone next. They have nothing to cling to other than 7-0 that happened years ago and a stadium in NJ. They can't even use the farm team line anymore after Adams and Marsch. Let them have their nonsense talking points the current trajectory of the two clubs couldn't be more different.
RBA is a pain to get to for many of us so I can understand that gripe but who cares what RB fans think or say about us playing a game in their stadium in a tournament they weren't good enough the qualify for.
Doesn’t the town own the stadium? I’m sure they are willing to negotiate a fair price because *any* revenue is more than they’d otherwise be receiving. They aren’t trying to be corporate assholes like the Yankees, they’re probably trying to balance their books and this will be a positive impact for them.
yeah, I guess I just don't agree that there's "little support" for NYCFC
Imagine being a RB fan. Are you happy about this so you can throw jabs at us or pissed off that your money hungry ownership even allowed this to happen?
I don’t think it’s much better for them either.
But yeah we’re a joke still.

My first thought is that this is being forced on NYCFC by CONCACAF or MLS. There is like a 5% chance they decided this would be a good idea. I can't imagine they wanted to do this, and I'm very interested to see the quotes in the press release to see how positive they are, or if they admit that this wasn't really something they wanted to do. Frankly, I'm a little shocked the Yankees wouldn't let them use Yankee Stadium for this game. If the other option was RBA, why not go back to the Yankees and try to play it there.
We can take this as a negative, and it is. Or we can decide to embarrass the Red Bulls by getting higher attendance than they got for their CCL match last year. I think they did somewhere in the 3,000 range -- so let's do better than them. You want banter? Let's bring 5-6,000 fans to this game. We can either just accept their insults, or we can do something about it. Let's pack their stadium for our game.

Yankee Stadium "wasn't available."
The Yankees refused to open Yankee Stadium for their secondary tenant. For a team they're part owners of. Amazing.
My thoughts exactly. Absolutely ridiculous.
As a show of good will, the club should have buses ready for those who need it and free tickets for members. It's a tough location at a difficult time for many who work in this area.
