At this point, it looks like RBA is basically off the table.
If Dodgers win, obviously Citi Field is available -- but Yankee Stadium would also be available because the Yankees' final home game would be Wednesday, Oct. 30.
If the Mets win, Citi Field is available because the Mets' final home game would be Wednesday, October 30.
I don't think either team would schedule us for the 2nd if they are in the series. A single rain out bumps us.
Maybe if the Mets win MLS moves our game to the 3rd. I find it hard to believe MLS would be OK with a lightly-attended playoff game which could be so easily avoided.
Amtrak ticket Philly to NYC purchased. Please lose Mets so I don’t have to get off at Newark.
Citi Field to be announced Monday. Probably (if they can get that Stadiums Links event pushed).
It seems as if the promised Oct 20 has not come yet (at least in my case as well). They are likely still figuring out the Citi piece.
Our home match, Game 2, will take place on Saturday, November 2 at Citi Field, with kickoff scheduled for 5:00pm.
but what if they bomb game 1 but completely destroy fcc in game 2? you'd be missing out on a wild night. the one thing going for this team is that they don't give up. they will keep attacking. unfortunately, they don't always keep focused on defending and that's been one of our flaws this season. no shade on risa, but i hope we can find a left footed, natural CB in the off season. Even if he doesn't have the same passing range. a solid partnership in the back to organize our defense is more important, i think.
I can not express how absolutely asinine it is that the league scheduled our home game for the same evening as Game 7 of the World Series involving a New York team. The World Series schedule was already done and the Yankees advanced the night the regular-season ended, so they should have known about the conflict.
Not only is our game not on regular TV, but now it's going up against a potential Game 7 of the World Series involving the Yankees. Just unimaginable stupidity and the perfect way to ensure our game gets no attention in the general NY sports media and even less attention among casual fans who are also baseball fans. Baseball is king in this town, and this game should have been scheduled for the following day. We've hosted playoff games on the same day as the Marathon before. It should have happened again.
Maybe the league gets lucky and the World Series doesn't go 7 games. But if it does, scheduling a 5pm game the same night as Game 7 of the World Series is just so idiotic from MLS. Are they trying to have as little attention as possible on their postseason?
