After lackluster crowds attended all three of the New York Red Bulls' 2017 home games to date (if you thought attendance was poor for the last game against Real Salt Lake, cast your mind back to the season-opening CONCACAF Champions League game in February), the club has a plan that might fix its persistent RBA attendance issues once and for all.
Per the club's official YouTube account, RBNY's plan to get RBA looking full is devastatingly simple: the club will remove several thousand seats from the stadium.
"Fans have been clamoring for us to get the stadium filled but we just can't seem to get enough of them out to games," said RBNY sporting director, Dennis Hamlet.
