There is a considerable likelihood that Mitja Ilenič will no longer be a member of New York City at that time. However, if he continues to play for the club from the Big Apple until then, he may experience playing in an entirely new stadium. The management of the MLS club has revealed plans to build a brand-new stadium, which will be the first soccer-only facility in New York. The stadium is expected to be completed by 2027.
“New York City FC fans have been the sporting equivalent of a lost tribe wandering through the desert for some time. Due to the long wait for a permanent soccer venue, the club had to play home games at Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Red Bull Arena, and even at distant venues like BMO Stadium in Los Angeles two years ago,” stated New York City FC on their club website, adding: “That’s why the latest depictions of their future home in Willets Point, Queens, just across the street from Citi Field, are a welcome signpost on the long and winding road, whose final destination is almost at hand.”
The stadium is expected to accommodate 25,000 spectators, and the club believes that construction will commence in the fall.
