Stadium Discussion

[Seth]

I wonder why I'm a STH frequently, but then I think about that brick and then the joy I got when Alonso outsmarted the Philly keeper and calmly put the ball in the back of the net. Also, I am not religious, so this is one opportunity for me to belong to something bigger than me.

I'm trying to stay in at least until I get my Garbowski Brick™ at the new stadium.

It's lonely being right when everyone wants you to be wrong.

I would love to know how seats in the Tunnel Club seats are selling so far.

Just a reason to keep your appointment even if you’re not going to buy. Take photos of the availability map and post them here to keep the front office honest. Prices should drop. MLS is not worth this value.

Did you have your appointment yet? And if so, do you recall how well it was selling?

Mine is this week.

Let us know how it goes! I’m fascinated to see how they play this out and try to persuade others with this pricing…

FYI regarding founder names in stone. I was curious if we could determine what was etched or if, like the founder scarf a few years back, they were just going to use the name on the account. From my rep:

We are still finalizing the exact details on what it will look like, but we have been told it will be somewhat customizable. We were told the other day that they are actively working on the details, so we are hoping to announce more about it soon.

I was told there are going to be bricks for founders and also a separate opportunity for “stadium founders.”

I cannot wait to put down Grateful "The Body" Dawg on my brick.

If anyone wants to sell their naming rights to me so I can put "Shwafta", dm me. (this is not a serious thing please don't actually dm me. Keep your integrity inside you)

Picked up two seats. When I was there only two (of 16) Gatsby seats were sold/held off, probably 20 percent of the home pitchside side, 15 percent of the away pitchside, and 20 percent of the Tunnel Club.

While the Tunnel Club experience is probably what you'd see on those Padded Seat videos, I'll miss the Pitchside experience (and value) at Yankee Stadium / Citi Field. Enjoy the times and prices while they last, which apparently is only this year before those jacked up 2026 prices.

Sounds like it will eventually sell out then, but probably not at the rate I thought it would if they priced more reasonably.

Did you get to visit the experience center?

I'm not sure the timing of it selling out. The real conflict here if that has a season ticket holder and someone who follows the league, MLS is still a value league in terms of fan experience in American. And it should be even on the hospitality level. We're not the NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB. While soccer is big, MLS is niche. And they're pricing this stadium without knowing that.

On the experience center video, they show a lot of non-NYCFC soccer content. Haaland, Ronaldo, Messi, USMNT / USWNT. That's not part of the agreement you're signing and buying.

Experience center is fine, it didn't wow me.

Thank you for all the information. Hope you get two seats you really wanted!
