I mean, think about it: NYCFC, which won the MLS championship in 2021, currently plays its home games at Citi Field or Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. This team obviously deserves a place to call home. Stick around till the end coz this is something you've never seen in the world of football. It all started when the media buzzed with various headlines about the approval of a $780 million stadium. This seemed like the ideal opportunity for the New York City Football Club to finally have a home turf.
