And FebruarySo, Yankee Stadium has 8 available weekends and Citi Field has 11 available weekends - not including games in March and April.
Stadium Discussion
- Thread starter Gene
- Start date
I've seen in multiple places that teams can protect 12 players. They have not announced how many players need to be domestic.
This guy finally woke to his irrelevance on the national stage. Now if only he’d realize his irrelevance on the local, he could maybe sign on to push the stadium through as one lasting achievement.
Whoops! Sorry, I meant February and March. April was obviously included.
Still, I find it very interesting that Citi Field has several more weekends available than Yankee Stadium.
Part of this could have to do with the fact that the Yankees play 10 home games on Mondays while the Mets only play 7. Maybe the Yankees schedule those Monday games with MLB so it limits the number of weekends available to NYCFC.
Lehigh-Lafayette (a comparable college football game) draws around 16,000 per season. When it was at Yankee Stadium it sold 48,256 tickets.
Probably a lot of Alum in the city. Instant moneymaker since they want to see their college team play without having to travel back to campus.
Really. What could possibly compel people to attend a pair of strong, liberal arts and research institutions in Pennsylvania, later move to the greater NYC metro area, and then attend the 150th gala annual meeting of two teams who have played without interruption since 1884. It's sick, isn't it.
This “building together” campaign really bugs me. Even if it’s supposed to be a wink-wink drum-up to an announcement (which is where I think this is going), they really should have saved it for after the press conference. These coy hints are more annoying than encouraging.
I would have been OK with it if they announced with 3-6 months. On a generous day I'd say 12. But I think it started last year at renewal time.
Are we really convinced that the "building together" marketing campaign is a hint hint nudge nudge at an impending stadium announcement? Could it be that they are that daft and delusional that they didn't make that association at all when they came up with it and the reality is their true intent behind the campaign was simply the meaning of taking the steps to make NYC the soccer capital of the world?
As you mentioned, it's been a year long campaign. for them to be so confident in a stadium announcement to run a campaign hinting toward it all year long, you'd think there would be more significant leaks and/or rumors by now. But here we are with absolutely nothing but promises and smoke screens. An entire year with this campaign with the intent of hinting toward an impending stadium announcement seems way too long to me. should have been something they started WITH the announcement cause there's no way we're gonna be a world soccer capital without our own home.
I'm just being snarky because football bores the everloving shit out of me, second only to baseball on the ZZZZZZ scale. I get that wide swathes of the public have terrible taste in entertainment.
So this week came and went and the supposed news is zilch...... not surprised and par for the course....

meh, non nyc college football games have been played in nyc since like the 1800's
There's nothing more infuriating to me than the "building together" slogan from this year. What's it going to be next season? "Constructing our future"?!
i dont know why you all getting caught up with this, this was all meant to say to "build" the team with the multi year contracts to johnson ring, callens and otherw as well as "building" academy and signing them to first team. "building" the club is what they meant. IF a stadium is announced then thats just added bonus, dickish move to call it that, but its not to far fetched.
