The only silver lining I can see is that we are not playing this game at RBA and Hartford is an interesting location for a NYCFC II team. I have a four day weekend, so this is an interesting ponder for me if the wife/baby allow it.
Home game vs Houston being moved to Hartford, CT
- Thread starter Joseph Bianco
- Start date
I'm calm like a bomb, mother fucker.
maybe but i still think not every local councilman/woman or whatever wants a stadium for their community. i mean nycfc has been lobbying over 1 million and nothing is getting thru. its not all about money.
It will be a lot easier for a game with an attendance of <5000!
Houston, Hartford. Who cares. I can get to either in about the same damn time.
It's a financial hit and an embarrassment to the club and the league, and it highlights that we need to stop sharing with the Yankees. This is an unavoidable inevitability of our situation and would most likely have popped up sooner if we didn't shart out of the USOC every year. I do see the wisdom of not demonstrating that we can draw in RBA, and on a Saturday with college sports in season there probably weren't a lot of great options. If it gets the club or the mother ship one iota more interested in a permanent home I can accept it.
We get 2.31 PPG at Home and 1.33 Away.
Houston gets 2.50 PPG at Home and 0.54 Away.
Even allowing that Hartford isn't exactly "Home," we can't agree to play in Houston unless the league absolutely required it or forfeit.
I am literally sitting here at my desk with every muscle tense, jaw firmly set, teeth grinding and just shaking my head. I'm going to leave work now before I hit something.
the playing in houston suggestion is absurd. why give them that advantage? even if we dont have an advantage in hartford neither do they.
So here's another one - the baseball postseason schedule was posted on Twitter - obviously there would be potential conflicts if the Yankees went to the World Series.
Game 6 and Game 7 of the ALCS are Friday and Saturday before the final home game against CLB - meaning if the Yankees are in an ALCS that goes the distance, we'll have this same situation AGAIN without enough time to change the field. So your final home game of the regular season (which most likely determines seeding and a potential playoff bye) might be who knows where again. Shameful.

If the Yankees can play home games at Shea (once for 2 years from '74 to '75 when old OYS was renovated) and in 1998 when old NYS was literally falling apart, we can play a single freaking game in RBA. It would be tough for anyone to hold it against us when we pack the place.
Although I can see why the Red Bull folks would be concerned about giving us the keys to the place given some "incidents" in the past.
Apparently that's what they're doing. $10 round trip for season ticket holders, leaving from about eight bar partners and from Yankee Stadium. So, refund of regular ticket, reduced price Hartford ticket, cheap bus tickets. Money-wise it seems a wash, although you'll invest an extra hour or two in transportation time. This definitely sucks, but I'm not utterly horrified by the idea.
But also, fuck the Yankees.
WTF????
To be honest, coming from Albany won't be that bad. It's actually 30 minutes closer that YS.... I'll be there!

as a yankee fan i know...we are not making WS this year. the starting pitching is not there...and bats get can get cold and then be out in WC game
Still like our chances and we'd avoid playing a "home" match 100 miles out of state
did they bring out the third piece in the 3 piece set yet?
That's during the SKC match on 9/6, Wednesday
I'm apoplectic. Fucking Lampard levels here.
