Where, Oh Where, is New York City FC? A Tale of Two Stadiums
So, you're a soccer fan, huh? Good for you! You've got taste. And you're wondering where the heck New York City FC plays their games? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this is gonna get a little complicated.
Yankee Stadium: Home Sweet Home... Sort Of
Let's start with the obvious: Yankee Stadium. Yes, that Yankee Stadium. The home of pinstripes and overpriced hot dogs. You'd think a soccer team would feel a little out of place in a baseball cathedral, but hey, New York is all about mixing it up. So, for a good chunk of the season, NYCFC calls this concrete jungle home. It's a bit like a fish out of water, but somehow it works.
Citi Field: The Backup Plan
But wait, there's more! When the Yankees are hogging the stadium for their baseball shenanigans, NYCFC gets booted out and sent to live with their other New York cousins, the Mets. That's right, they play at Citi Field too. It's like a soccer team on a never-ending vacation. Imagine the tan!
A Stadium of Their Own?
Now, you might be thinking, "Why don't they just get their own stadium?" And you'd be absolutely right. That's the plan! NYCFC is building their own soccer-specific stadium in Queens. Can you believe it? A whole stadium just for them! No more sharing with baseball teams. It's like moving out of your parents' basement and getting your own apartment. We can't wait to see it.
So, Where Should You Go?
If you're planning a pilgrimage to see NYCFC in action, your best bet is to check their schedule. They're like nomads, constantly on the move. But don't worry, wherever they end up, you're guaranteed a good time. Just be prepared to eat a hot dog or two.
