Trouble In Yankee-cfg Paradise

That's not a terrible idea - the Red Bulls fans would be furious, though

Especially if we have a better ticket sales.

What if we finalize a stadium site and start construction on it, in the city, this year...

...and play at Red Bull Arena until its completion?

Never. I'd rather have them play at the makeshift fields in Flushing Meadows.

Or the Cosmos new stadium?!!??

I'm OK with it - but it would never happen

I really think it could if the Yankees are serious about not wanting NYCFC there past a year....which they really might be.

Especially if something happens this season that causes a Yankee game to be postponed or a suspicious injury.

I know some guy named Deblasio could use some good distractions. Maybe if he stops pissing everyone off they could get a SSS deal done.

Or use it as leverage to get him on the right side of a popular issue - especially after the Yankee fans sound the alarm

That doesn't really work for those of us on the Connecticut side. Avoiding the four hour trip to Red Bull Arena is at least half of the reason why I opted for NYCFC tickets over NYRB - Yankee Stadium's one 45 minute train ride.

This sounds promising...

You can't really call yourself NYC's team when you're playing in another team's stadium in New Jeresy.

We also have to keep in mind that when this partnership happened there was a different mayor in office and things were much more sunny.

If the Yankees can play home games at Shea, NYCFC can play at RBA

Also, sounds like RBA could be our only hope for cool friendlies.

Temporarily out of NYC - for a fixed and limited time while the SSS gets built - is perfectly fine with me.

 

[Drainyoo]

Yanks and Mets aren't rivals and Shea was in NYC. It's more like asking the Yanks to play in Fenway.

I honestly can't believe some of you would be ok with them playing in RBA. That's just crazy talk.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

It feels wrong but no other choice...

Giants Stadium

 

[doctorhoosier]

Psh.

Let's just have them play at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, as god intended.

Then we can call them NYCFC and still have it be accurate - New York/Connecticut Football Club.

Now that's thinking outside of the box.

(In case you didn't realize, yes, that's sarcasm.)

 

[Goodfella]

I think they'd play on Columbia University's turf football field before they play in RBA. Wouldn't suprise me if they use the soccer stadium for US Open Cup games. MetroStars did,

 

[NYCFCFan10]

Giants Stadium

Turf though...

this shit needs to get figured out ASAP

WHO IS IN CHARGE OVER THERE ??!?!?!
