Drums have won me over.

But I hope I'm not sitting too close to them. Haha

I've been out of the loop. WHAT!!!!! we cannot celebrate- how boring ! No ambience - its going to seem like I am at home watching an EPL game on NBC/ESPN - when a goal is scored , I can not tell unless my eyes are glued to the screen. while watching a game on Telemundo or Univision I can tell a mile away who is winning or loosing by the length of the Goool call. What the HELL.....oops What the flowers is going on? . I bought season tickets to experience the good and bad and the ugly. We are not going to be singing Ole, Ole OLe. I feel like crying . Yankee stadium bigwigs how boring.

@Christian What if the Manchester cricket team decided they were going to use the Etihad for 17 games a year and it happened to coincide almost exactly with the EPL season. Now, what if cricket lines or whatever they have we're still on the field come Saturday afternoon? Or if their batsmen tore up the turf.

Would that make you happy?

Were guests in a temporary residence. Be happy we're not playing in MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Not guests -they own part of the fucking team and they should try to make the experience for the fan the best that it can be. NYC has become a police state. Yes I realize that it's the # 1 target in the world, and safety comes first but soccer is a much different crowd than baseball. banning plastic poles for flags is bullshit, as is no smoke or flares. I am not looking for mayhem( maybe a little), but supervised smoke and flares by supporters groups with pre-set conditions is not a security risk, it's part of the experience.

Yankee apologist right there at it's best. We were promised a football environment by NYCFC and the Yankees pushed back. For all the people who complained about MCFC where are there voices now complaining. We were just told to shut up and sit down but it's ok that it's the Yankees. Fuck that. Every other club in MLS can rock out but we can't.

Today the part of ownership defenders will be played by Yankees fans. Rest easy MCFC fans.

It has nothing to do with the demographics of a soccer "crowd" or what the optimal soccer experience would and should be. It's who and what they are trying to keep out in a high risk venue in a high risk city. There was no chance YS would allow smoke, flares and poles. Trust me, I grew up playing drums and swinging flags at soccer matches, and I don't like this, but I have learned to accept it, at least temporarily, and certainly understand it. We will have to scream a little louder, sing a little better (which is hard with my voice), and be a little more creative with our in-game support. There are no better fans than those here in NYC, so I have no concerns, with or without the smoke and flags.

All good man. I know there's a lot of Serie A supporters here as well as la Liga but not so much on the Bundesliga side.

As a lifelong Serie A fan who's coming back into MLS I can safely say the one drum rule is ok with me. You never see them in Italy yet there's some great atmosphere. Loud singing can make all the difference.

I'm bummed not seeing big banners. That and flags add to the look, it brings out the creativeness.

THANK YOU... everyone is overacting and acting like the world should move out of our way. Yankees may own some of the team, but its a baseball stadium, not a soccer stadium. And if/when (please be when) we finally do get our own SSS you'll see many of these rules carry over. NYC is very strict with fire codes and security, especially regarding big venues. Sorry that the city doesn't want professional sports to look like Boca/River with mayhem everywhere. But we can be loud, we can be imposing, these rules won't break our spirit and we'll show that we don't need all that extra crap to support our club.
 
No way we ever get smoke allowed at any stadium in NYC, whether we own it or not. It's just not gonna happen. Some of the other rules are excessive, but flares and smoke is not surprising in the least.
 
I have some friends who are Revs fans. They talk about the constant struggle with Gillette. It still isn't easy for them. Thus this is not surprising, nor unprecedented.
