Not sure what it is, but considering the graphic says "25 November" instead of the Americanized "November 25," I would guess it's something being done by corporate in England and not, say, groundbreaking.
Looks like it's using Etihad's font, so it's probably a sponsored element of some kind.

Very strange indeed. why would the club post about a CFG event using an image of our stadium unless it had something to do with us?
formatting of the date could just be a nuance based on design aesthetic or the person making it is not american raised.
my guess is an event to announce the sponsorship with the big wigs in attendance and potentially a groundbreaking date forecast/announcement. mgarbowski will love it if it's an actual event. haha
The Facebook post says, "from Etihad Airways."

Yeah, exactly. It's probably something like "celebrate the new naming rights agreement with a raffle for an Etihad Airways vacation"
I'm ok with events if warranted, and groundbreaking justifies it.
Announcing a stadium sponsor that was 99.98% certain already does not.
that's what i mean. my guess is it's 99% certain this will be an event to discuss the sponsorship and more talk about the stadium. an unnecessary show for the big wigs to look like they've done something. but i am hopeful that they will throw in the groundbreaking date.
I think Etihad will either also sponsor some as yet unannounced stadium feature or donate to build public space in Willets or a soccer field or some such.
It seems likely these would be related but they already fly to New York.
Yeah, but maybe they have more flights leaving from NY to other places…?
It could be but that's a terribly lame thing for NYCFC to hype if so.
It's been a long time since I looked into it, but aren't international airlines limited in what routes they can fly? Or has that been eliminated.
It used to be that a foreign airline could fly between their country and basically any city in the world, but couldn't run routes directly between two non-home countries. I'm guessing that has been loosened to some extent, or they use partnerships and sister companies to circumvent the rules.
Well, BIG in all caps rules out a Maxi statue
Roundtrips from Manchester to NYC on matchdays for all of our passionate Manchester based supporters to attend.
Right, they use domestic code shares to feed into international flights, and they can fly between two non-home countries if they have the proper permissions (they're called "fifth freedom rights").
But I don't think this is specific to the airline. Seems pretty weak to run that kind of announcement through the club. Could it have something to do with the academy? Maybe a facility in Corona Park?
