Forgive my ignorance, but is a PSL an added fee on TOP of the cost of your season ticket? Because that is a fucking laughably insane concept.

I'm pretty confident that I'll be retired and a season ticket holder of the Charleston Battery attending matches at their new soccer specific stadium, which isn't even a topic yet, before NYCFC has their own stadium.
Yes, but it is a separate one time fee, so you have the right to purchase season tickets. I don't think any MLS team has done it. It is usually done in the NFL. Here is the what the Los Angeles Chargers are charging for their PSL.

Seating map and season ticket benefits for the Chargers new home, SoFi Stadium.
The original NFL PSLs were priced very low and appreciated in value nicely. So, of course, the next rounds were priced higher, to capture market price. That nicely coincided with the financial crisis more than a decade ago, which meant people relying on the resale value of the PSLs were suddenly underwater and, like the mortgage crisis, many were abandoned.Yes, but it is a separate one time fee, so you have the right to purchase season tickets.

I wouldn't be surprised if NYCFC tries squeezing out some sort of 1-time fee from us, but it would probably be small and not called a PSL.
Discussed extensively here, but mostly WRT coach news.
Ronny Deila Named NYCFC Head Coach / Deila Joins Standard Liège
Out of our starting XI we are missing parks. That's it. We still have everyone else which means sands would probably step in for parks. Sure a coach is necessary. We'll have an interim coach appointment. I'm just saying they will be ok until we get an official head coach. And yes, I think they...

It does kind of thread with the idea that we think they're within months of making an announcement. If they think the new stadium is in use in 2023, that means construction is probably starting, what, by late in 2020 next year? That gives them around 2 years to build.
I wonder if the quote on the stadium holds any weight...I know he said it’s from a source close to the club but can’t reveal. Stadium by 2023 means they would literally have to start digging now though.
Maybe they're ambitious? Islanders broke ground in 2019 and expect opening in 2021... I know in that case there was nothing to demolish, but I can't see why it would take 3 years? IF they can get approval by later this year, they could potentially start at the end of 2020/start of 2021 and we could see a late homestand like portland had, where we open our stadium in like may or june.
I posted the article below in the Queensboro FC thread. But one important note regarding soccer stadiums in NYC:
The team plans to play in a new temporary stadium at York College in Queens, with a few games taking place at the New York Mets’ Citi Field.
“We hope to have our own [permanent] stadium in the future,” Villa added.

David Villa's playing career ended fittingly with a trophy. Now it's onto the next challenge for the all-time Spanish great.

Let's not use derogatory terms just because Trump does.
Come on, give him the benefit of the doubt. If he can’t even use it correctly, maybe he didn’t know it’s a put-down.
Not here to get political. Not rubbing a maga hat or antifa resist banner in anyone’s face. Just stating my dislike for both the governor and mayor that they’re turning NYS and city backwards.
You weren’t being political, you were just using a phrase that many (most?) Italian-Americans consider to be a slur.
No they don't and they never have. I've lived my entire life among Catholic ethnics, and heard every Polish/Irish/Italian/Spanish, and Portugese slur possible over 5+ decades , both good natured and mean spirited, and never ever head anybody call someone a Fredo because he was Italian. You called someone a Fredo because he's weak and pathetic regardless of ethnicity. There never was any taboo or ethnic connotations to that term. Suggestions otherwise are ignorant or dishonest. Chris Cuomo being a dishonest moron, who knows which applies.
This wiktionary page has a good discussion.
Talk:Fredo - Wiktionary

Nobody there can provide any evidence that it has ever been used an ethnic slur, or that anyone ever complained it was an ethnic slur before Cuomo/Trump. There is plenty of old evidence it has been used against all sorts of ethnicities in its classic meaning, which is how Trump used it. Just because Trump is an asshole doesn't make every stupid accusation thrown at him by other assholes like Cuomo true.
