Stadium Discussion

[Gotham Gator]

Some really good stuff in these last couple of pages. The Stadium is not ideal, but it really helps to take in a few sections and see what works best.

I'm with K Kjbert
I'm also with Ulrich in that I moved from the supporters section to the elevated section just over, 234 I believe and the view is much better and the sound from the supporters section is a big improvement. I think the corners of the field are the best places to watch the game given the proximity to the field and the elevated viewing angles.

I completely agree that the best seats are in the corners. I took in the Home Opener in 2015 (before I was a season ticket holder) from Section 208, front row, and the view of Villa's goal was terrific. I also sat in Section 14, Row 2, behind one goal for the Seattle game, and have since sat in the bleachers and in 207 a few times. My original season tickets were in 233, and last year were in 232B. Both good, in the corner and near the supporters. Now, I am in 205 near the opposite corner. I think those are the best. I am on a sideline, right up against the pitch, about even with the end of the penalty area. It has really good fans and atmosphere, and I can hear the supporters reasonably well. It's also cheaper than most of the other seats in the Stadium.

If you see the team doing a $10 ticket special, we're in trouble.

I don't think the Yankees would allow it, except for when the upper tiers are opened up for games.. It would be a bad mark on Yankee Stadium and their investment into the club.

I think this weekend will be interesting just to see how many people we can draw. Weather isn't supposed to be that great. Looks like mid-40s with some clouds. Rain earlier in the morning. I could totally see us sub-20,000 again. It was pretty embarrassing last weekend.

I'm not sure how many people will show up on Saturday , it was pretty pathetic for the last match. Sure, it was cold, but it's supposed to be cold this time of year.
I was shocked to find 2 Pitch side seats for $110 each on Stubhub!! SCORE and they are on the NYCFC side
I've offered my regular seats in 112 to a friend, if they can't go, I'll offer them here if someone would like see the match from a different perspective.

Do you get free food with pitchside seats?

 

[Vaporizer]

Yes you do https://www.nycfc.com/pitchside

Access to legends if I recall. LionNYC can elaborate

Really? You found seats for that low? That's about 20% of face value.

Yes Legends. And the Pitchside Club (Mohegan Sun, now 1894 or something).

Yes I did lol I was shocked with fees it came out to $269 but what a bargain

Make sure you eat $250 worth of king crab legs

Enjoy, you will have a blast. Listen for the two guys yelling at the refs and then come say hello to me and LionNYC

I've been in Legend's before, I don't eat shellfish, so the food isn't a priority. I eat at the Steakhouse every Yankee game , I like Filet and cocktails that aren't measured ;-)
I will come say hi to you both JayH and LionNYC . I'm not hard to find, older with red hair and I scream too

Woohoo, a couple new pages on this thread and it's actually a very good stadium related discussion!

I agree with the posters who stated that the corners (except for the home plate corner) are some great seats overall as you get good value and a good view of the field. I sat in 213 first season, directly behind the goal and it was difficult to get a good perspective of the field, the atmosphere was weak. It was very easy to resell due to the price floor and they were front row/aisle. I moved to 232B last season and the atmosphere and view was much better. If it weren't for the foul pole, these seats were nearly perfect. Also easy to sell.
This season I moved to 108, and have not been to a match yet. Resell market has been odd. I posted all of the games for $50 before the season knowing that I would just pick up other seats if I was going. I sold the home opener about a month before the season, and then the Orlando and Seattle matches already for some reason. I got stuck with my seats last week, despite dropping them to the minimum a week before the game. It also looks like i'm going to get stuck with this weeks tickets despite dropping them all the way to $16 two weeks ago. I tried to exchange them but I forgot that they couldn't exchange them if they were listed for sale.
Hopefully the market heats up, as i'm going to be out of the country for over a month this summer and I think we have 5 matches in that period.
I love having tickets, but if they don't sell better i'l have to drop them after this season. Living in MA, it's only become harder and harder to get down for games as i've gotten older and have commitments like being a dad and all that. It looks I won't even make 5 games this year and next year won't be any better. Hopefully the resale market will improve because once my kids are a bit older I can't wait until I can convince them how cool going to games are so that we can make all of them!

I won't disagree with you on the atmosphere but I've done 211/212/213 the first three years about halfway up and I love the view. Gives a great perspective on the team's shape and the runs players are making. I've sat midfield other places and you just don't get the same tactical vision

Maybe it's just the way my eyes and brain work, but I have such a problem with depth perception directly behind the goal. I cant tell if players are 3 or 20 yards apart. It totally skews my perception of the game.

 

[Kjbert]

Yes great discussion. Not the one we want right now of course. But a very important discussion the last few pages.

I hope the club is watching

The club is probably saying, "meh, some of those guys are real pains in the ass - the stuff they post and their crazy expectations. Good riddance!"

I do hope the club is feeling some pressure to get this moving along.

I just hope they don't act too irrationally due to the pressure and end up settling for a shitty situation.

Well 3 possible options we know about: GAL, Willets, & Fresh Direct I would be happy with. If that's settling, then let's do this!
