So absolutely hate that this is right in the thick of football season....
Good question. I'm going to go. Hopefully other CT soccer fans will also go to make up for it a little.Just curious what percent of NYCFC season ticket holders will actually make the trek to the RENT. Locally international soccer friendlies have done pretty well, but this is a game with pre-sold tickets to Yankee Stadium.

Not so sure about a sell out, but how is 1 entire month short notice? If NYCFC's management is smart, they jump on contacting all CT youth, high school, and other programs.It would be great to get a "sell out" for the game on such short notice.
Kraft won't allow an MLS team to play at the Rent and Garber pretty much laughed at the idea. For that reason I won't attend.
How does Kraft get control of this site since the Rent is somewhat equidistant from both Boston & NYC? Just because the Revolution's name is preceded by "N.E." shouldn't give him automatic rights to this area. Or, is this an MLS assignation?
You've never marketed a team have you? Teams like to have their schedule ready months before the season opener to get group sales going and promote individual sales. Here they have 1 month to get the word out in a foreign territory for which they have no marketing database (it's not that easy to contact "all CT youth, high school and other programs") and hope they will be responsive. Most groups also plan months in advance to get signees, collect money and plan the outing. All this on top of a reduced season ticket base (how many will travel to Hartford) spells a tough time selling tickets in one month.Not so sure about a sell out, but how is 1 entire month short notice?

Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, August 30th. Here's info from the NYCFC site - NYCFC at Pratt & Whitney StadiumCan't wait for this!!!!!! By mid September I'll totally need a break from college football and will be there!!! Anyone know where I can get tickets?????
Can't hate a post that starts with Meh.Meh... no football games @ Rent from after the USF game on September 9th to Memphis game on October 6. Grass should be more than fine.
No sh|t NYCFC doesn't have months of advance time Sherlock, but it's not as if they aspire to fill King Jung-un's world largest stadium or even Michigan Stadium. With reportedly limited expectations to fill even the Rent's bottom bowl and likely hopes to merely contain financial losses, any reasonable organized group should be capable of meeting NYCFC's minimal goals.Teams like to have their schedule ready months before the season opener to get group sales going and promote individual sales.

If he ever builds his SSS in Revere or somewhere closer to Boston he would forgo his rights but we'd still never have a chance at landing a team.
Will NYCFC playing on a nice pitch put them at a competitive disadvantage?
Arrogant, hardly yet surprised a marketing guru hadn't considered facts he raised, e.g, your reference to NYCFC only hoping to sell bottom bowl tickets. Regardless, NYCFC Rent prices created as big or a bigger challenge than relatively short time for sales.Are you always this arrogant and speak in double-talk?
I agree that the prices were a bit eyebrow raising. Still, I bet the crowd surpasses expectations.Arrogant, hardly yet surprised a marketing guru hadn't considered facts he raised, e.g, your reference to NYCFC only hoping to sell bottom bowl tickets.
