I was just thinking about what would have been an awesome idea. I know we always say never NJ but Rutgers is playing Nebraska that weekend. Give free tickets to students at a party school with 1 dollar beers and your guaranteed to have a rocking atmosphere. Also they're actually a FUCKING TRAIN THERE. CFG hire me.
I bet you if the mets didn't have a home game that day we'd be at citifield.

Rutgers is pretty far too, but better than Hartford I guess.
But aren't they in Unuion territory?

Yankee Stadium is 5 minutes closer than Talent Energy.

This is not a good look I think we are all in agreement on that, but we all knew something like this was going to happen it was just the nature of the arrangement. It's the Yankees building the could flood the field and play water polo on it if they wanted and NYCFC could do nothing about it. That being said RBA was probably never an option and I doubt RB ownership would even entertain the thought. Since we are throwing out ideas why not citi field it grooves with our "pitch" on a diamond thing we are stuck with and is WITHIN THE CITY. People will go it's just the nature of us all being supporters, however I do think that there should be a show of protest during the match from the groups in attendance whether it be a tifo or facing away from the pitch for a certain period of time.
I don't like it, the whole draw of this club for me when it was founded was soccer in the five boroughs, and a regular season match in CT bugs the shit out of me.

This was my first thought when I saw this. Maybe they're testing the waters for a future NYCII team. I know this won't be of any consolation to you lot but we could see a Hartford City FC USL team in the future.
So in a city where the vast majority use public transportation, they move the game but only give a public transportation option that drops you off four miles from the stadium? Did they also provide a link to the Uber app too?
Great to meet you as well.
All of those things I can't answer fully. I can imagine trying to move tens of thousands of people being incredibly difficult to do though. Let's also not forget that Houston is involved as well. Getting the best combination of seating, amenities, logistic know how, date time and TV scheduling can't be easy.
As a Western MA supporter, I like this for me, not for the club.
We all know the situation, this sucks, but make the best of it! This is a much better soccer venue than Yankee Stadium. Let's set up a massive forums tailgate for this one!
Sucks that this is not in the city, but I think a unique event (hopefully unique) is something that could be incredibly memorable! At least they are doing the right thing and refunding everyone, without even making them lift a finger. Hopefully most supporters just decide to make a day of this. David Villa goes all out every game, we can take a bus or rent a car for the day!!!!
It's going to be lit. Any forum members that go, PM me. I'll pick out a nice space for tailgating and i'll bring beer for everyone!

I'm sure it was. There are people who's job it is to work this out. Jets vs Dolphins on the 24th. Probably not feasible to turn it around.
Not on campus though.

Bus them in for free with drinks on the bus. Problem solved. We might get caught up in some controversy for purposely getting people drunk but fuck it.
