When it came to their current stadium situation, 2017 was a rough year for New York City FC. Following two seasons of little to no actual scheduling issues, NYCFC were forced to play two “home” games outside of Yankee Stadium and relocate the “Etihad Pitch” to Pratt & Whitney Stadium in Hartford, Conn. and Citi Field in Queens.
Throughout the season, it became more and more evident that the club needed a place to truly call its own. And as of Monday, it looks like that dream is one step closer to becoming a reality.
