That's cold, especially when the game is in Queens.

• I like my YS seats better, 2nd level view gives more visibility , the citi slope was so flat struggled to see the far end

Thats a key factor for me. With just the first level open at Citi, that makes it hard to evenly compare.

You are an “other”

If you opened up parts of the the second level you'd get some great views and still be close to the field than YS.



Left and right field in the 300 level would be great.

334-339 would be hot.

Yankee stadium for me. First and foremost, we've built something there. It takes more than a Shake Shack to negate that for me.

- The Bronx feels better for me. It feels the right kind of NYC gritty.
- South Bronx United
- I-95
- Celebrations under the 4 train.

There are a bunch more reasons but I'll spare the waxing poetic. Playing at Yankee Stadium isn't ideal but it's unique and I'm never trying to be the same. I did enjoy the sound of supporters being that we had covering at CitiField but beyond that, I was not impressed.

Similarly, I strongly prefer the Bronx. But I didn’t appreciate how bad the food and drink quality and options are at yankee stadium until this weekend.

The Yankees should be embarrassed.

Skankee Stadium

I made sure that this poll does not expire and you can change your vote at anytime. I wonder if people might change their opinion after we've played a few games at Citi, if we do play a game or two their next season. I'm wondering if any type of novelty factor may be influencing people's opinions

 

[SanBartG]

Part of me would like to move our temporary home to Citi Field just to deprive the Yankees of the additional rent. Complete BS they couldn’t turn over the field for the last home game of the season. They could have. They just didn’t want to pay to have it done on that timeline. What the hell good is their 20% ownership if we’re going to be treated like any other tenant? And oh yeah, I’m a Yankees fan.

Actually, was... cause I can’t stand entitled attitudes.

Anyone know how many seats are in the 300 level?

Looks like 8,100. Kind of perfect.

Wow... 25.5k would be perfect. Even more reason to move.

I keep thinking about this and then catch myself and realize our next stadium should be the NEW SSS STADIUM

 

[Jon]

If they announce a Willets Point stadium I think you have to make the move to Citi in the meantime.

LMAO at people ranting about shake shake and missing the 1st half waiting on line.

 

[northernburbs]

Not awful but definitely not what it has evolved to in YS. They were completely anal about everything. They were ticket hawking people entering and exiting the section for the whole game, they kept pestering people about not being seats or hounding me about standing in the little indentation next to the stairwell. It was annoying.

A vapid fucking shithole That place might as well be the rockland county mall.

Because none and i mean NONE of the fans live on LI. They couldn't support the jets or nets or islanders who all left.
no heart or soul on the island

Hmm. Actually a good percentage of this forum is from LI.

The jets were never in LI, only their practice facilities. They made the mistake of moving to NJ and then re-upping there. Didn't make sense to practice in LI and play in NJ.

The Nets also made the mistake of moving to NJ to capture an untapped market. Only to move back to Brooklyn years later.

And LI did support the Islanders. It was a the politicians that cock blocked Charles Wang from building a new arena complex, so he was forced to move to Brooklyn. But all the LI supporters aren't showing up there. And NYC isn't supporting a hockey team. So, they are moving back to Bellmont.

I think someone on this forum is feeling the butt hurt of NYCFC moving to queens and away from his Northen Burbs and is lashing out at Long Island. Enjoy your extra 15 minute commute when we build at Willets, I'm sure all your bitching and passive aggressive behavior will make it feel so much better.
