Nycfc Training Fields Thread

OK just went. The building where our "training facility" is hosted is the school's multi-purpose center. It looks like we have part of the basement. Really nothing special. I was unable to get in there today (you will see why from the pictures below) but I will try again.
I also stopped by the field to see if there was any progress. They have a crew there cleaning up the parking lot (it was an absolute mess the past two months). So far the parking lot looks cleaned up entirely. They have started clearing the walkway on one side that leads to the field. The walkway on the other side is packed with 1.5 feet of snow. They do have a bobcat out there working on it. We'll see. I'm going to swing by again tomorrow to see what progress was made. The weather, relative to what we've had, is beautiful today. Not a cloud in the sky and 35 degrees.
On to the locker rooms. If you leave the training facility and drive about 1 mile away into campus, the school's multi-purpose center is on your right. the parking lot is down a hill where the tennis courts are. The entrance to our facility is around the side where they have a sign that says "Teacher Parking Only) or something to that effect. In case any of you want to check it out. I was with a guy last night who was able to poke his head in our locker room - he said it's brand new but it's attached to a really crappy looking facility overall. So our little area is brand new and nice - but if you go and check out the building, you won't be impressed. In the pictures below, you will see they have pallets of beautiful greystone. I am assuming that they are either going to create a terrace out in front of this area OR they are going to rebrand that little part of the building with greystone on the walls. The walls could use it.

For the record, they trained at Chelsea Piers - Stamford last week before they left for Orlando, an indoor facility in Connecticut. Almost everyone but Villa, Mix/Shelton will be living in White Plains.
I mean, I don't know exactly who is where or anything, but money is definitely an issue, and I hear they're all roommated up.
SUNY purcahse has bus service to both Port Chester and White Plains metro north stations. and I'm sure the team would have a shuttle to either station

Velasquez and Callie both hinted to living in queens.
Of course they would
If they are, my guess is in LIC on the water. When I lived in one of the high-rises there, a few Mets players lived in my building.

I would figure LIC, UWS, UES, Park Slope and Williamsburg are places you will find a lot of players, aside for the suburbs.
You realize that the cheapest Met is worth more than most of this team though, right?
