Please MLS, Move NYCFC Out Of Yankee Stadium Already

Soccer... in a baseball stadium. It feels weird typing it out. And it feels even more weird experiencing it firsthand. Yankee Stadium is holding NYCFC back from being one of the truly elite teams in MLS. It's time for them to move out... but where?

[@lefthandluke]

[@jamesharden1122]

Im a Houston Dynamo fan. We used to be at UH Football stadium, but now we have our own BBVA Compass Stadium and I have to say it is the best stadium in the city. NYCFC should get their own stadium and MLS should do everything they can to change the mayor's mind. The Sheik shoul bribe the mayor also.

Helix Gaming - Gaming/Vlogs king I’ve got an entire video planned about ranking the badges. That’ll be coming up in a few weeks. As far as Robles and BWP, it’s sad. It’s the end of an era for a core that won three Supporters shields. The RedBull teams of the mid-late 2010s should be seen as one of the best teams in MLS, despite never winning MLS Cup. But I see why. They say it’s better to get rid of someone a year too early vs too late. Not sure BWP would ever get back to 20+ goal seasons, and I love Robles but I don’t think he had his best season last year. Eventually you’ve got to give Meara a shot.

It was supposed to be "temporary",but everywhere they've tried to build has said no. It's why Red Bull bought the MetroStars outright. They originally wanted to set up an expansion team,but saw what a hassle this could be. City Sports Group got overconfident,and MLS was only too happy to welcome their money .

[@DavidfromBA]

As a Red Bulls fan going back to the MetroStars' inaugural season in '96, I suspect that this situation is going to drag on indefinitely. The MetroStars were supposed to get their own stadium promptly, but wound up playing in Giants Stadium - which was far too big for them - until 2010. D.C. United had to wait until 2018 to get their own stadium, and the New England Revolution are _still_ waiting for theirs, with nary any relief in sight. Plus as you accurately point out, NYC is both extremely crowded and extremely expensive.

[@ademirsegura6307]

DavidfromBA and Bob Kraft would pay it his way BEFORE he paid hookers lol

[@henrymanzano9168]

Yup,and sadly,any place where they could build has said no. They've tried Queens (which would have been THE best place to build, considering the soccer audience in NYC ),next to CitiField,but the Mets said no. Then there was upgrading Wien Stadium in Manhattan,but civic leaders protested. After that, there was another project discussed in the South Bronx that has since fallen silent,and the most recent rumor was a stadium near Belmont Park,where the Islanders' new arena is being built. As someone who is a Yankee fan in baseball,this would be considered sacrilege,but I wouldn't mind if they built on the site of the old Yankee Stadium (but baseball fans would say no)

[@the_beast183]

DavidfromBA Now, playing in oversized football stadiums for a longer period of time, like 5-10 years, isn’t as bad as a baseball stadium. And certain teams, such as the Revs, are owned by guys with football teams (in their case, Robert Kraft) and aren’t going to spend more money building another stadium. But what’s going on with NYCFC is insane. Playing in Yankee Stadium was a bad idea from the start, but it’s what they have to do. If only the Jets had built the West Side Stadium back in ‘08...

@@agustinsoto6040 You should know good and well by your pic. That Mercedes Benz Stadium was made from the ground up with soccer in mind. That goes for how the seating is placed the dimensions and measurements on the field itself. The tunnel for the club players to walk out to the field. Etc etc. This talk that its completely a NFL stadium and ATL UTD just moved in is completely false. Arthur had them playing in the stadium before the stadium was even a reality. Were not in the situation like Seattle and New England are in. They are playing in complete NFL stadiums that was in no way built for soccer, AND THEY JUST MOVED IN. We are not in that situation. You know this, ive seen u on YT before.

Boom problem over, should start building in 2022 i think and finish from what i read in 2024.

[@agustinsoto6040]

King Wes11 I am well aware that the Mercedes-Benz Stadium was also built with Atlanta United in mind, but that doesn’t change the fact thats it’s not specifically made for football. The stadium is beautiful and no one can take that away, but like I said, it’s not only football. We still have some minor inconveniences such as not being able to play in our home stadium during the opening games of the CCL.

[@westheking12]

@@agustinsoto6040 but most of the big important games like the final and certain rounds we do play in the Benz. For me it's not like we are getting a soccer specific stadium in Atl where there is really no room at all for one unless we somehow tear down GA State stadium or do a complete rebuild of Bobby Dod with partnership of GA Tech. So the fact we have one of the best stadiums in the US and probably North America is fine by me. And its indoors! Unlike what Inter Miami's 2 stadiums will be in very hot climates. Plus the fact it was made with soccer in mind just makes it even more perfect. Unless we get a deal struck to have the first soccer specific stadium to be indoor and outdoor in America. I dont see why its a big deal for some ppl.

Honestly, I think it's an absolute embarrassment to the MLS and the sport in general, to have a team playing in a baseball stadium. It's fine as a temporary solution for the first year or two, but we're less than a month out from season six. I think it was a mistake for the MLS to accept an expansion bid from a team that didn't have a plan for it's own stadium. I wouldn't be bothered by this if this was a USL Championship, League One, or NISA team, but this is one of the biggest markets in our top league

[@seamus1956]

NYCFC came in as a super club, but in the years since, their glow has dulled each successive season to the point where they’re actually an eyesore... I simply can’t watch NYC games on TV anymore no matter the stars on the field. It’s just not real football. Apparently there is hope City Football Group can acquire the land across the street from New Yankee Stadium and squeeze a SSS into a parking lot and old utility building. It would be massive for the league once they get this done. I believe it will eventually happen, but construction in NYC is a nightmare. Best case scenario they spend 3-4 more seasons at Yankee Stadium. 🤮

As a San Jose Earthquake supporter I can say that having a soccer/ football specific stadium makes a huge difference plus there's more pride for your team and City, it makes it complete because you have a home of your own, not being second or third fiddle to baseball and football teams stadiums and just to play in a great pitch and grass. New York with such a huge market would definitely benefit. Also New England and a few others deserve it too. Also MLS is or has gotten too big to continue with expansion teams and with no soccer specific stadiums waters down the league and you won't get great young potential players from Europe or South America to come over and play, unless they will start to implement Relegation.

The Flushing Meadows (not Flushing Airport) proposal was not acceptable because the site was next a superfund site as well as an indoor swimming pool/skating rink that was built to replace two facilities from the 1939 World’s Fair.

And New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, and Yonkers is right outside of the Bronx. It's not that far. They've tried and failed too many time in the Bronx and Queens. And right now beggars can't be choosers. I agree with you 100%. Playing in Yankee Stadium is hurting their attendance and it's just bad for the league.

What about New England...

Barca type NYCFC would have been nice. Since majority of queens are Barca and Madrid fans. Being a Liverpool fan i despise Man City but love my NYCFC 🤣 I've always have said this built this in Flushing Meadows. People aren't against. Even till this day so many people push this idea because it's a good spot and we get rid of these nasty ass lakes. Tourist will revive flushing so much and events will be beautiful for the people living here. Damn 2 years and we already won a MLS cup.

Ask city group to pay for a stadium. God knows they have the money for it.

What's really fucked up is that they have to play their first CCL Match in Red Bull Arena. What a joke of a Franchise NYCFC is.

Nash illegal Fc are also playing on the baseball stadium
