Where Do the NYC Boys Play? A Stadium Saga
So, you wanna know where the NYC MLS team, cough New York City FC cough, calls home? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this is a tale as old as time (or at least as old as MLS).
Yankee Stadium: The Bronx Tale
Let's start with the obvious: Yankee Stadium. Yes, that Yankee Stadium. You know, the pinstripe palace where baseball legends are born and dreams are made of home runs. Well, for some reason, the powers that be decided that this hallowed ground of America's pastime would also be a suitable stage for the beautiful game.
I mean, imagine the scene: Aaron Judge’s number hanging next to Taty Castellanos’s. It’s like if Batman and Superman decided to team up to fight crime - a weird, yet oddly captivating combination.
Citi Field: A Mets-y Situation
But wait, there's more! When Yankee Stadium is busy being, well, Yankee Stadium, our beloved NYCFC sometimes finds themselves playing at Citi Field. You know, the home of the Mets. Talk about a home-field disadvantage for the home team!
Picture this: A soccer match surrounded by the familiar orange and blue of the Mets. It's like a crossover episode of Friends and How I Met Your Mother - confusing, but strangely addictive.
The Future is Bright (and in Queens)
Now, let's talk about the future. Because, let's face it, playing in baseball stadiums is all well and good, but a team deserves a place of their own, right? Well, good news, soccer fans! NYCFC is getting their own stadium in Queens! Can you hear the angels singing?
So, while we patiently wait for this soccer-specific paradise to be built, we'll just have to make do with the Bronx and Flushing Meadows. But hey, at least we get to experience the thrill of soccer in some of the most iconic stadiums in the world.
