I'm going to take POed Subway Rider's tweet with a gigantic grain of salt until someone reputable says it, and I suggest everyone else do the same.
I don’t know man. When it comes to games being moved and negative news like this it tends to be true. But I will say, less than two weeks away how can citi just flip the switch so fast.
If this game is moving (and the usher schedule info from RunningWise seems solid enough) and they haven't said anything a week out they must be scrambling to find an alternative solution. They're not keeping us in the dark for giggles. The Yankees are home that weekend. Gotham FC is at SIS on Saturday the 9th and Red Bulls at home Sunday the 10th. Anything else in or close to the City won't accommodate all the sold tickets. Hartford is a terrible option but I'm not sure what else they can do. Maybe squeeze in another midweek game somewhere?
It's also hard to figure what would require that this game be moved. I think Gotham Gator is correct about the lack of Mets rainouts. The Mets are in Milwaukee that entire weekend and back at Citi the following Tuesday. Monday is open, and if they needed to use the stadium for something on Monday that would break the 72 hour rule, but again there seems to be no need and the Mets likely would have announced something by now.
It's a puzzler.
Citi Field looks like crap ever since they had those concerts. Last night was looking real badThe only thing that makes sense would be an issue with the field condition.
That does make sense. But sucks if the NYCFC game gets tossed because they overdid the concerts.The only thing that makes sense would be an issue with the field condition.
Couldn't be the reason, the next round (Quarterfinals) are scheduled for August 19 & 20Or maybe they’re hoping that either we or Columbus make the next round of the Leagues Cup.
Ah… didn’t know there was that much time between rounds. Which tells you how much I care about it.Couldn't be the reason, the next round (Quarterfinals) are scheduled for August 19 & 20
Additionally, the game is still live on Ticketmaster and tickets can be bought on the primary market and resale there. It would be telling if they took the game down from the website.
