New York City FC might be comfortable at Yankee Stadium, but their uncertain status regarding a permanent home created a scheduling conflict which forced the team to relocate one of its final two home matches out of state. The worst part — it could happen again.
NYCFC, who play in Colorado on Saturday night, will play their home match against the Houston Dynamo on Sept. 23 at UConn’s football stadium in East Hartford, Conn., some 110 miles away from Yankee Stadium, because a Yankees makeup game booted them out of The Bronx. Yankee Stadium requires 72 hours to transition between soccer and baseball, and with NYCFC just tenants at the ballpark, the boot wasn’t all that surprising.
