I would assume speeches by BDB and players, plus each player gets the key to the city. Maybe some other celebratory stuff? Probably at least an hour. Maybe a little more? Hard to know for sure.

Event appears to already be sold out on EventBrite. Maybe they would have had enough interest to actually do a parade after all.
Wow it's almost like there are more than enough NYCFC fans to make a big event. Who would have thought?!
I hope that fans crowd the streets all around the event even if they can't be inside it.
I still think a parade would be the best.
I'm willing to bet the event was limited to maybe 1000, which isn't that much.
a full on ticker tape parade would probably be a bit much but could have had a smaller parade to allow more people to attend instead of a ticketed only celebration at city hall

Yep -- just because you can't get in the gates doesn't mean you can't be there.
And yes I agree a full ticker-tape would be a bit much, but they did a ticker-tape parade attended by 300,000 for the USWNT. Is 300,000 a little high for us? Maybe, but maybe not. Maybe they see the interest and can add something. Surely this won't be the ONLY celebration event this week, right?

Wait for the end when Heber goes up and over and almost lands on his head. My man got UP!

From Newsday:
"Due to the team's capacity" is an interesting line. Were they worried there would be an embarrassingly-small turnout and didn't want to take that risk?

team's capacity? what does that mean exactly ?
Hopefully it means we would rather spend that money on player acquisitions

this is the reason, and i get it. I personally would not of been able to go since i have work and not been able to take it off.
Fair, but then why not schedule it for the weekend? Too far away that people will lose interest?
My hope is that we get a big turnout tomorrow at city hall.
Players want to go home/vacation
i dont know on logistics, but parades are almost always on weekday. the following tuesday. Plus some players may not be there any more. expansion draft and some options etc being taken by club or not.
Yeah, there's going to be a COVID spike thanks to Santacon which took place on Saturday
Most of this ground has already been covered, but if you ever get a chance to go on an away day to see your team win a championship, I highly recommend it.
Had a great time hanging out with SoupInNYC, got to meet mgarbowski and Shwafta and other folks forum and not, and even ran into a friend who pre-dates NYCFC.
FO did a great job. From the $10 tickets to the victory party Saturday night, everything was well organized and thoughtful. Order more food next time though
Easily the most fun NYCFC experience since 2015. It felt like all the bullshit that surrounds this team and its supporters - and lord knows there's a lot of it - was set aside for one magic weekend.
AND WE WON THE CUP. I've been lucky enough to see my teams win several championships on tv, and there's just no comparison to being there. Just absolute pandemonium when Callens sealed it. Unreal.
