Nothing earth-shattering, they're thinking about heating the premium seats and maybe enclosing some concourses to account for the new schedule. The team is considering whether to play the bridge season at Etihad Park.

Very interesting to see Apple/MLS content embedded into the Post website. Is that new or has this been going on for a while?

Nothing newsworthy, but I did find the comments section funny when someone asked why there are more women bathrooms then men.

When people say the capacity is 24,800, does that include the suites?

MLS offseason needs: What every team is seeking for 2026

After canvassing league personnel for insight, we've compiled the winter wishlist for all 30 MLS clubs entering the new year

www.nytimes.com

For those without a subscription:

NYCFC​

Needs: Center back, center forward, center midfield

During the club’s playoff run, NYCFC lost star center forward Alonso Martínez (torn ACL) and Andrés Perea (leg fracture). Both will miss most (if not all) of 2026.

Martinez is more difficult to replace, given he was the club’s best goal scorer (17). Players with his goal record are not cheap, and there isn’t a natural backup. In central midfield, as long as Keaton Parks is back, then between him, Aiden O’Neill and Johnny Shore NYCFC should be fine, but another rotational option is still needed.

At center back, breakout homegrown Justin Haak is departing, as his contract expired. A replacement is needed there.

==========================
==========================

Just as an aside, do people really pay good money for this drivel? What is Bogert reporting that anyone who follows the club doesn't already know? I've seen more insightful posts from fans on any number of social media platforms.

I think these sort of articles are usually written for the fans of general MLS or other clubs who don't follow as intensely.

Yep. You're not going to get anything in-depth when it's an article about all 30 teams, either.
