Honestly given the opportunity to intern with the club I would close up shop on the forum any day of the week.
Stadium Discussion
- Thread starter Gene
- Start date
Ughhhh I was without internet so I couldn't get in to this. But glad to know they have someone who reads this.
Hey front office guy, when do playoff tickets go on sale?
Actually I asked someone about this at the training session and we'll get an email with updates before we clinch a spot in the playoffs. And like auto-renewal for the regular season if you're a season ticket holder unless you tell the club otherwise they'll charge your card for the game.
But back to the stadium thread discussion...Etihad Island! Honestly if we started on that route when the club was founded, we'd probably have as good of a stadium with all the important things as equivalent as good on land in the five boroughs.
Looking back on it Pier 40 is depressing the hell out of me. I mean that thing is a dingleberry on Manhattan island.
Might be the easiest briefing ever, you just have to change the date:

Primary updates from the NYCFC forums:
1. Posters are still very interested in an update on the stadium.
Interview with Garber on SI.
Has New York City FC, now in its second season at Yankee Stadium, made any progress on a home of its own?
“NYCFC is a great MLS team. It’s proven that the [New York] market can support two clubs. The Red Bulls are better because NYCFC is in town. More people care about the sport in a very important city. The rivalry breaks through the professional sports clutter in the Tri-State area. Both teams are performing very well competitively. Both teams have focused academy and development programs. Both have great commercial partners. And we waited many, many years for the Red Bulls to get their stadium situation resolved and it’s going to take quite some time in the case of NYCFC. But they are laser focused on it."
FOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKK!

At this rate maybe we can host the 2026 World Cup for our opening match.
Wow is there any more round about, verbose way to say unfortunately no progress?
"Pardon me, was that actually meant as a question?"
Translation of Garber's response:
"My decision to put a second team in NY was genius, the teams are doing great, its the best rivalry in MLS, look at this amazing success, and oh yeah they haven't a clue at a stadium but let's not focus on that." (Garber then leans back and puffs on his Cohiba)
Was any one laser focused on that bond meeting everyone was super excited about last month?
I'm getting hyped for the Dallas game. If we win Saturday, I'm spilling everything The Toe knows.
It might be a little old news, but screw it.

You could spill everything as a pregame hype speech???? tonight even.
