Where Do the New York City Football Club Actually Play Their Games?
So, you're a soccer fan, huh? Good for you! You’ve got good taste. But let’s talk about a team that’s as confusing as a New Yorker trying to explain subway directions: New York City Football Club.
Yankee Stadium: A Ballpark for Every Sport?
You'd think a team called New York City Football Club would play in, I don't know, a stadium? Well, they do, but it's not what you'd expect. For years, these soccer superstars have been sharing their home turf with the Bronx Bombers – yes, we're talking about Yankee Stadium! It’s like watching a soccer match and then suddenly, BAM! A home run. Talk about a culture shock for the European fans!
But wait, there's more! When the Yankees aren't busy hitting dingers, NYCFC sometimes gets to play at Citi Field, home of the Mets. So, basically, New York City FC is the ultimate baseball freeloader.
A Stadium of Their Own? Finally!
Don't worry, soccer fans, the Cityzens (as they call themselves) are finally getting their own place. A soccer-specific stadium is being built in Queens. Can you believe it? A whole stadium just for soccer! It’s like winning the lottery.
But here’s the kicker: It’s not opening until 2027. So, until then, we're stuck with the whole Yankee Stadium/Citi Field situation.
