NYCFC v Cosmos

[QuigrNYCFC]

No alcohol on campus, including parking facilities for the Open cup match. Parking is $15.

I can certainly go a full 90 without a beer, but this is rather disappointing.

I had planned to enter by foot at the Prep gate at the northwest corner of campus but this only mentions the entrance by the library in the southwest. Does anybody know whether I need to change my plans?

In choosing which rule to break, I think I'll go with the prohibition against inappropriate displays of affection.

At some point, isn't most fan behavior an inappropriate display of affection?

I am all for playing a B-team. We have a lot more depth than last year, and we should be able to beat these guys without our starters. Heck, we were bossing them last season until Kreis took out Poku and Kwame shit the bed.

Maybe Coach V will want to put a few starters in for a half to shake off the rust, but there is no need to risk injuries and tiredness given we have a game 3 days later.

Harrison - Mullins - Taylor
Poku - Lopez - Ballouchy
Martinez - Mena - White - Gomez
Johansen

EDITED to place Harrison in for Mendoza

I'd start Shelton over Harrison. Keep Harrison fresh for Philly. Give Shelton and Mendoza each a half. They could both use the confidence booster they should get from this game. BAJ already seems to know he belongs. Maybe give him 30 minutes in the second half.

Any word on broadcasting? Sorry if I missed it. Hopefully it's not the same goofy live stream as last year.

Yes Network. Could still be goofy.

Cracks me up that they can't even get the stadium right.

HAHAHA! they really can't get out of their own way, can they? They initially had the match listed as "US Open Cup FIFTH ROUND" in the upcoming Home Matches section of nycfc.com until I tweeted them about it

Looks like we're going to be sneaking in nips of liquor. SMDH

Why bother predicting the line-up? Vieira gonna Vieira. It's in the hands of La Grande Saucisse.

So Saunders it is then in goal.
Sigh.

I think we'll probably see Lurch for all USOC matches, but never in an MLS match unless Saunders is in the hospital.

looks like the $15 are now sold out as I did a search and 0 returned, automatically put up the $20 tix in Section 4

They also called it The Lamar Odom U.S. Open Cup.

If we assume they are selling the seats at each price point from lowest section # to highest and from lowest row to highest, then the $30 seats are very close to gone. The $25 seats are about half sold. The $20 seats are harder to judge since they are general admission, but perhaps haven't sold very many. The $15 seats, as mentioned, are sold out.

I've watched the Turkey Bowl there, Fordham Prep v Xavier High School. College football field, seats 7K, all seats on one side, FieldTurf surface replaced grass in 2005 so not the newest surface out there.

Actually, looking at the Fordham web site, they replaced the turf in 2014.
