New York City FC Stadium Announcement Expected Soon

New York City FC’s Director of Football Claudio Reyna has revealed that an announcement for the temporary stadium is looming.

It has been widely speculated that Yankee Stadium will host NYCFC when the MLS expansion franchise’s inaugural season gets underway in 2015, but Reyna did not confirm or deny that rumor during the ceremony.

He said at the club’s unveiling of the badge on Thursday: “We’re close on that. We’ll soon announce where we’ll be playing,” Reyna said. “Within the next month. We expect to have an announcement within the next month.”

Reyna said the club has a number of potential locations under consideration, but there’s still work to be done to  secure one that makes sense for all the involved parties.

“We’re still looking, we’re talking to the city,” Reyna said. “There’s a lot of possibilities for the stadium and we’re continuing to do our job, which won’t be easy, but we feel good about it. We have a team of executives that are working very hard to not only get a stadium that we’re happy with, but that is good for the city of New York as well.”
