MLS Cup Playoffs - December 11 - Portland (Away)

[Kjbert]

Not sure flowers alone will solve

How about another kid. You both win.

The first two were actually on Madison Avenue (and 26th). The third, and the one where it made its name, was on 50th & 8th where Worldwide Plaza is. That's where the classic Knicks and Rangers teams played, as well as most of the really big fights.

The one that exists now is, in my eyes, most famous for being such an architectural disaster that replaced such an architectural masterpiece (the old Penn Station) that it spurred the creation of the Landmark Commission in NYC.

Yes -- I love NY history!

I'm just a little too young to remember the old Penn Station but I've always loved the photos of it they have on the walls in the weird modern station. That said, as a relatively frequent Amtrak rider I have to say the new Moynihan Train Hall, while not as historical as the old Penn, is definitely an improvement.

If NYCFC win on Saturday there are y'all confident the team gets a ticker-tape parade on the canyon of heroes?

100%

I love Moynihan's interior design. It really feels grand.

Fair enough. Agreed that $58 is still fantastic for a finals game.

Holy Cannoli... that is fantastic. Probably best value for any NY sports team right now.
Golly I want to go...

I heard a rumor that if we win, there will be a parade ultimately leading to the yet-to-be-disclosed site of our future stadium. It will lead to a monumental display with a mock-up of the future stadium along with symbolic sky blue shovels rising from the soil. During the first of the victory speeches, the stadium plans will be announced in earnest, and we will all celebrate not only our MLS Cup victory, but our new home to come.

Didn't get the email yet, but I think all Founding Members will get that time, based on my earlier conversation with my rep.

I got my email at 4:19PM. As you see in my post, the time I was given was 10:30AM. I am not a founding member.

Yeah, the Founding Members email said on sale at 10am and there'd be a half hour head start.

Looks like it's new episodes each night -- this is one of YES's soccer guys behind the scenes.

The only good thing from the MLB lockout. YES is replacing the Yankees hot stove show with NYCFC coverage.

Hoping the team does a viewing party for all the people who can't go to Portland.

They’ve done it for all the playoff matches. Would have to imagine they do it for this one! Probably (hopefully) trying to find a larger venue then Berry Park!

Forecast for Saturday is for AN INCH OF RAIN!

To everyone still here with us and the club after all these years this game is for you. It’s been one hell of a ride.

Weirdly, on accuweather it says almost no rain. We'll see as it approaches i guess!
