Back in February, hopes were high for New York City FC finally getting plans for a home stadium of their own. The New York Times reported that a deal for NYCFC to build a stadium in the South Bronx was “close” and that the miserable and uncertain years of ground-sharing with the New York Yankees would soon be behind them.
Then, COVID-19 (coronavirus) happened. And after that, fans of City were again met with the radio silence we had previously become accustomed to since the club’s inception. It wasn’t until September when we would eventually hear that the club reportedly planned to pitch a stadium plan in the winter.
