always thought the supporters section should be called the battery.

Even though I've been a supporter of Valley of Ashes, you're selling me on The Coop. It does make a lot of sense.
The 120 days are up, so groundbreaking can basically be whenever they want it at this point. Sounds like sometime in September is what they're planning for.
Would they dare do it at the Inter Miami game? Show it on the big screen at halftime in front of what might be the largest crowd in Club history?
So when they announce the groundbreaking is anyone going to attempt to go? I have no interest but i'm assuming some people out there will try to go lol
Yeah, the nickname seemed to have already been settled. But I cannot see the front office / CFG use "the valley of ashes" in any publications about the stadium. I don't think they want the stadium / sponsors / etc. associated with "ashes" even with The Great Gatsby ideology.
On a personal note, that graph is not properly formatted.

Reader Poll: Welcome to The Valley of Ashes
The results are in, and you voted to name New York City FC's new soccer stadium in Queens after a line from F. Scott Fitzgerald.www.hudsonriverblue.com
Late to this but I would hardly call a poll on HRB with "hundreds of responses" as settling on the nickname. It sounds cool and is neat as a Gatsby reference but "The Valley of Ashes" takes far too much explaining for the casual fan. Unless the team and the media heavily push "The Valley of Ashes" there is no way it will beat out a no-explanation-needed name like The Coop if things are left to develop organically.
A month from now at the earliest
This is exactly why I think they'll try and infuse The Cube into the discourse through social media. Easy to say, easy to write, easy to understand and easy to remember, and it ties into their on-site marketing (
mgarbowski may have a point about the technology getting dated, but I'm just trying to analyze the strategy as it stands now).If I'm not mistaken, the organization floated The Cube as a trial balloon when they made the announcement, yes?
I should have said "roughly a month from now". I'm nearly certain it won't be by the Miami game, but could potentially be the following week.
Etihad BOWL at FLUSHING Meadows.
Yes, I have the same sense of humor as a 9 year old.
Dude Wipes will want back in!

Etihad Pitch? for the baseball roots... I'll see myself out

I suspect you are right even if I wish they would let a nickname develop organically via the fans. "The Cube" seems overly corporate to me. I could see a scenario where they try to force the cube and the majority of the fans ignore them and go with something more interesting and tied to the team/city.
Valley of Ashes is perfect. Sounds intimidating to visitors, has a literary connection to the city, literally refers to the ground on which the stadium sits. So what if it's 5 syllables long.

Nope. The page does say that current City Members don't need to do anything and that they will get priority based upon total tenure.
