I imagine there are only a few people on this board that would be super excited if the club changed its name to FCFC.
Fairfield County Football Club. It has a great ring and there is plenty of land up here for Etihad Arena. FCFC could probably sell out all of the luxury / pitch side seating fairly easily too.
Dollars to donuts Tom would still watch the games from home.
Yankee Stadium isn't perfect, but the experience is still terrific. I am in for the long haul.

pricier but the Pastrami sandwich at Yankee Tavern is killer
All kidding aside, the area from White Plains to Stamford, CT could support a decent minor league soccer club. Lots of land available along the Merritt between say White Plains and Norwalk, CT. I'm hoping that NYCFC 2 will go there, but with the training facility across the river, that doesn't make sense. I hope a USL investor moves here. If I had the money, I would start a franchise here.
i think they have NPSL teams in connecticut now
Maybe you haven't been on here long enough, or just never bothered to read through this whole thread, but the original name for this thread was actually "Stadium News". We changed it after 200 or so pages when we realized that nothing was being said and we still just kept on talking about it. The new name reflects our despair.
Do your homework!
Haha - good point. And I guess if there was something meaningful it would be the trending topic of discussion...
If there was ever something meaningful posted here, you would see over 200 new messages in the red new posts alert by the afternoon. It's kind of like our bat signal
OK that's it. When ever we do get that stadium, and regardless of the official name, or any other popular nickname, to me it will always be:
Nice going, you have now added at least another page to the thread with your suggestion.
Pit of Despair Field. I like it. Can have banners pointing that out to our opponents on good years and apply to our hopes on bad years. Count me in!
Pretty sure that's RFK.Artist's rendering of some soccer action at Pit of Despair Field:
What open space do you see been White Plains and Norwalk that isn't a park or golf club?
For my money, if we're going to CT, it better be to Mianus. To repeat, any new stadium had better be in Mianus or there's going to be a problem.
The state would literally give you land in Norwalk if you wanted to develop it. There's also un-developed land in Stamford where they were going to put the high speed ferry. White Plains has Greenburgh where the Knicks and Rangers train.
All of that being said, if there was a USL squad, they would most likely rent out someone else's space. They would play at Iona College or SUNY Purchase.
