NWSL

As I mentioned in the Philly match thread, I’m thrilled I’ll be back from my Chicago trip on Sunday to be able to catch our game, but very disappointed I’ll miss this final Saturday night, I’ll be out to dinner with work colleagues. My friend will be heading to the women’s sports bar on the Lower East Side to watch it, highly recommend if you are interested and in range!
With the game being played in a neutral stadium I think Gotham takes it.
 
When i spoke to ticket rep he said there was a strong possibility that the Gotham play at eithad park
I would almost certainly get some sort of ticket package if they did that. Was kind of interested in going to a match when they played in central Jersey but it was way too much of a hassle. Was a little disappointed they went to Harrison instead of here but was at least able to make it to a game. If they played in Etihad Park I'd definitely go.
 
Funnily enough although I am a diehard NYCFC fan, after my move to the area I have become a really big spirit fan and will be at the game on Saturday and rooting for Gotham to lose. Spirit are just too deep everywhere In the field and have the motivation of being at a second final in a row and will surely not want to throw away this shot while Trinity Rodman is still on the team
 
I suppose I should root for Gotham just because of the name. But, it’s hard for this Gator to root against Ben Shelton’s girlfriend.
 
Man, I can't believe City Hall limited Gotham FC cermony to on 500 free tickets for public viewing areas in City Hall Plaza. So when they show the cermony, there will be a small crowd, which just reinforces outside opinon that no one cares about soccer. I don't think they limited the Liberty tickets.

yea liberty also got a full ticker tape parade up broadway while gotham only got a mini parade near city hall.

soccer is definitely treated as a minor league after thought sport in this city and in much of the country.

if you were to google the last professional sports championships in ny, the results are the liberty and before that, the giants. nothing about gotham and nothing about us. hopefully having our own stadium will help grow the game in the city, but i'm not holding my breath.
 
Mamdani is a huge soccer fan (and unfortunately a gooner 🤮), i would hope he gets behind NYCFC and Gotham and raises the profile a bit!
