New York City FC announced today that they will be playing their October 22nd home game against Columbus Crew SC at Citi Field in Queens due to the New York Yankees rallying against the Cleveland Indians and securing a spot in the ALCS to face off with the Houston Astros.
After two seasons of virtually no issues whatsoever, this will be the second time during the 2017 MLS season that NYCFC is forced to vacate Yankee Stadium, their current home stadium, due to a scheduling conflict with its primary tenants. The first of such instances happened back in August when the team announced that they would be playing their September 23rd home game in Hartford, Connecticut, over 100 miles away from their South Bronx home.
