MLS - September 7 - Cincinnati (Home)

Yeah. Some comments on reddit noted that the Arthur Ashe evening session starts an hour before the NYCFC game, so the lots might just be full and this is more a matter of you can park until they run out of room, rather than not being allowed to park at all.

This game was originally scheduled at 8 PM, which is odd for an NYC based home game. We were probably told it had to be 8 PM so we don't take up US Open parking spots.

Don't understand why they need so many spots this late into the tournament. There's no more ground passes being sold and it's the QF already.

Weird, Google says 8pm. Don't trust Google I guess.

I'm debating if to attempt parking or not. Does us open typically full up all the citi parking lots?

Tonight's evening session starts at 7pm on Ashe. I suspect the same is true for tomorrow.

When we go to the crowded day sessions in the first week, the parking lot is fairly full, but not totally full. I would feel fine driving tomorrow were I going.

Gates for nycfc only open like 6:30.

Did you have to show your ticket, or you payed regular 20 at the gate like usual?

If anyone's going, I'm down to go to a bar and shoot the shit for an hour and arrive ~5:30/6.

No didn’t have to show anything

Then sounds like "there will be no parking" that they announced means "there won't be any specific NYCFC parking, come at your own risk" heh.

Really hope the return of Callens, Martins, and Parks gives the team an emotional boost. Feels like things have been spiraling the last few weeks, and we could use something good happening. Almost feels like their return is more important emotionally than physically.

It's game day, bitches!

Nothing pithy. Even with all the losses, I still get excited for game days. See y'all at Citi.

 

[Fantazma]

I was spooked by the prospect of traffic and parking, so listed my tix (at a discount) and shocked that they sold so quickly!

for me, anything slightly lower than what other resale prices are generally does sell.

Really sounds like NYCFC never coordinated with anyone at the US Open to make tonight a conflict date. So now all tennis fans are going to be parking at Citi Field.

I think it's more likely they were told to go pound sand, but I still blame them for not announcing the problem until yesterday.
When the tennis center opened the Mets were already there (at Shea). The Mets had dibs. I expect that their terms were that on conflict days the Mets keep their entire normal parking area and tennis center is relegated to the smaller lots on the other side and the USTA had no choice but to accept it.
NYCFC comes along and asks for the same terms as the Mets and the USTA laughs.

Also, I'm amused that the USTA calls it "Mets Stadium parking." Citibank is not a USTA sponsor and JP Morgan Chase and Amex don't want Citi's name on USTA materials.

Sounds to me like yellow zone parking is today.

I'm going to be there at around 6, let's go get that W today guys!!! The team needs all our support don't use the cliche don't use the cliche now more than ever

 

[LIexpat]

I am just going to head there early and if questioned tell them I am going to the tennis , either way they are getting paid and more than likely I will have left way before the tennis ends

 

[Shwafta]

Any good pregame places near citi? or just stand outside a car and tailgate type of stuff?

 

[Shwafta]

What's an alternative parking location if i get there and there's no parking, btw? anyone know?
