MLS Cup Playoffs - November 23 - Red Bulls (Home)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Perhaps it’s too early to start praying to the soccer gods. Perhaps it’s not early enough.
All the same I pray to you oh Lords of Football. May this New York team trounce the false New York team of the land of Newer Jersey. Please allow the blue wave to wash over and smother the fiery reds. May our cleats hold in the frozen dead turf of the infield while our enemies dive passionately to be smote down in the yellowing grass. We pray to keep the iceman’s hands strong in net and the tiny legs of our talisman running light footed to the final whistle. Please remind Martinez to put on his scoring boots. To move to the next round is all I desire. If this New York team makes it no further than the conference final I will be contented. I ask this of you in your highest upper ninety, Amen.

"PS. if the Lords feel like humoring my fellow fan, moogoo, may you push this New York team to a second cup and a wonderous second star above our crest"
Trust me I’m not going to be that greedy. The soccer gods are fickle, best not to upset them.

Yeah, the team had a message on its website that they opened those sections, plus the lower areas behind home plate. Capacity is now 25,000.
Tangentially relevant, but Citi Field having 100, 300, 400, and 500 levels but no 200 is an annoying affectation.
They do have 200s but that's a suite level, not publicly accessible. Alas.
Show me where a section is designated 200 on an official seat map.
Proven wrong by my own team! Lol, I was looking at Met and and official CitiField seating charts.
on the official citifield seating chart link, it says they are suites. it's just shown as a green section with no numbers in the chart/map though and labelled "empire suites"
Hey everyone, take the subway instead of driving because there is a circus in the parking lot.
Psyche.
Thing is, stuff like the circus in the parking lot and disrupted 7 service won’t go away with the actual stadium.
REF: Allen Chapman
AR1: Jeremy Kieso
AR2: Felisha Mariscal
4TH: Tori Penso
VAR: Daniel Radford
AVAR: TJ Zablocki
Allen Chapman was the referee for goal line gate against the Red Bulls in 2020. He was the referee for the penalty shootout drama in Orlando in 2020. The referee for the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals in Philadelphia. And in 2024, we're 0-2 when he's been the referee (0-2 vs. Colorado, 0-2 at Montreal).
Clenching harder.

I thought that you were using a metaphor, but there is an actual circus set up in the lot! I'm parking at the Skyview Mall and walking.Hey everyone, take the subway instead of driving because there is a circus in the parking lot.

luckily there are other ways to get into queens and then transfer to the 7. a bit annoying to have to transfer but this is the MTA... did we ever expect trains and buses to ever run perfectly 100% of the time?

It looks like the circus is across Roosevelt Ave in the Southfield lot? If so, parking might actually not be too bad.
For the last game they closed half the parking lot, so I arrived 90 minutes before kickoff and there were tons of spots still. I wonder if there will be more parking available this time since the circus is now fully set up.
I think that's correct. I suppose the only effect on parking will be that circus-goers will also be parking in the main lots. I'm still tentatively planning on taking the subway, which will work as I live in Queens and the disruption is between Queens and Manhattan.
This thread is pretty fun. Everyone is joking, but in a good natured way, with the overall theme that this is the kind of thing that makes MLS lore what it is.
