I'm having trouble figuring out why we think the ideal stadium location for NYCFC mens would be different from NYCFC ladies. Or how this discussion is different to an ideal stadium location discussion.

The implication is that the suburban family with female children is a more important demo for women's soccer than men's? I just don't see the basis for this assumption. Not saying that it's not there. I'm also biased as somebody who lives in the urban areas who traveled for a women's football tournament tho lol

I’m not saying I know that. I’m asking what the demographics are.

Willets is more accessible to more suburban families than the Bronx is. My assumption (and why I would like to see the demographics) is that the crowd for the Chicago Red Stars is different than the Fire.

I don’t see a world where Los Templados and the Nazis FC are attending a woman’s match.

Would probably have to be Las Templadas at the very least j/k j/k j/k.

I'm guessing the demo for Red Stars would be different to the Fire too. But I don't think that's necessarily so, based purely on the fact that one is a women's team and one is a men's team. I think it probably has more to do with the particular circumstances surrounding the game, the way it's marketed, etc. And while I'm not saying that the sex of the players is completely irrelevant to the demographics of the audiences, I don't know if it would result in a huge urban / suburban split or even necessarily in gender splits.

I’m positive that the club has a mind numbing amount of data on the demographics of our supporters. Ages. Gender. Kids/no kids. Race. Location.

If they wanted to have a women’s club, which they don’t, they would take that data and look at NWSL data.

I agree. I understand that they originally expected the fans to be international with many from Latin America. While that represents a substantial portion of the fan base, the most common demographic is young, affluent, and white (anglo).

How’s that data working with their STH retention?

So that means no more sky blue players coming over to start the smoke stacks and get free jerseys?

I do wonder what took so long? Could it be RB didnt want it but now that they are renting the stadium that the county wants more revenue?

Will Sky Blue outdraw RB in crowd size?

 

[Kenny]

If we get a NWSL team down the road, they'll be natural rivals to SkyBlue like we are to Red Bull, but.... SkyBlue is.... sky blue, dark blue, and orange, no?


AAAWWWWKKKWARD

I have a strong feeling that if *we* had a stadium they'd be partnering with us.

I dont know, i always assumed CFG would of wanted their own team and not get an existing one.

US Soccer and NWSL batting funding back and forth:

Sources: U.S. Soccer denies NWSL owners' funding request, but offers counterproposal

The offer is a surprise move and wasn't on the table before this weekend's board of directors meeting in Chicago. Here's the background and what comes next.

It appears the NWSL is going to do the same tournament style play that MLS is planning to do, but in Utah instead. Tbh I think from a players perspective I would prefer to play in the Utah summer conditions than the Florida summer conditions. The CBS all access stream is $6.00 a month. I think I'll be watching the NWSL instead of MLS this summer if I cant find a cheaper way to stream MLS.

A lot of content managers like WordPress use the entire article title as the URL. I bet they had to have that title to satisfy all their partners and sponsors.

The NWSL has a new expansion team for Los Angeles, temporarily called Angel City. Huge ownership group consisting of many former USWNT players, Hollywood folk and venture capital people.

Yeah lots of heavy hitters backing/running that club.

Anyone watching the NWSL tournament? I've been watching and despite the scarcity of goals I've been enjoying it quite a lot. Once you get familiar with some of the clubs, players and storylines. Also, some of them are pretty cute

Also, they were smarter than MLS to hold the tournament in Utah. Better, safer location.
