The search for a soccer-specific stadium is not coming to an end anytime soon for New York City FC.
The franchise entering its fourth season in MLS lost out on its bid to build a stadium at the Belmont Park site to the New York Islanders of the NHL, per Newsday.
NYCFC’s proposal for the site included a 26,000-seat stadium in addition to land for retail development and a facility for soccer purposes.
The MLS team that is co-owned by the MLB’s New York Yankees has failed to find a site that suits its needs since the inception of the club.
There’s always Connecticut!!
Good. Belmont was never even a mediocre option. I still say the Bronx is the place of the sites mentioned. There needs to be subway access. If it’s by Yankee stadium I could conceivably see the yanks play and NYCFC on the same day. Unlikely. But still my wet dream persists..
amazing. MLS is so far behind the rest of the world. Absolutely laughable
No, it is not. The league is now full of Soccer Specific Stadiums, with more on the way. NYCFC, on the other hand, is way behind. They should never have been sold a franchise until they had a piece of real estate in their grubby Yankee/MCFC hands. They are going to be playing at Yankee Stadium, on a 68 yard wide field, for a long, long time still. That is Absolutely laughable.
Wow you guys are clueless.
-Fans made it clear to CFG that we didn’t want a belmont site. We had meetings with them to show our displesure. NYCFC has alot of other plans from Belmont that suit the playing on the City.
-NYCFC was one of the best decision from Don. Actually market the city and has made the Red Bull more relevant because trust me when i tell you. People didnt even know of their existance. Thats exemplefied by their attendance and now growing attendence each year.
care to elaborate?
Elaborate? He is a whining troll who knows nothing. Not happening.
