MLS to align calendar with top leagues around the world | MLSSoccer.com Major League Soccer has announced a shift in its competition calendar, aligning the league’s schedule with the world’s top soccer leagues.

I think they did this just so #NYCFC could have a couple extra months to finish the new stadium. 😉

It is a thing.

I can refuse to use the stadium name (it will always be the #ValleyOfAshes to me), but kit ad are something we can’t avoid.

I refused to buy a shirt with our embarrassing former sleeve ad, and would gladly pay extra not to have an irrelevant airline across the chest.

Love seeing #NewYorkCityFC ads on the subway. This one was on a downtown 6 train at Broadway/Lafayette.

This is how you reach people in our city. This is how you build community.

Steve Cohen Backs New NYC Ferry Stops at Citi Field, LaGuardia New Yorkers know that getting to LaGuardia airport and Citi Field in Queens from Manhattan has long been a logistical mess, with congested highways, crowded public transit options and frequent traffic...

Take the ferry to the #ValleyOfAshes to see #NYCFC matches? I’m in.

I hope you do make it back for the first match at the #ValleyOfAshes, Anton. May you never again have to pay for a beer when you visit.

I like the two lopped-off corners. Between that and the Cube, I think the design is unique enough.

As for economic impact, the #ValleyOfAshes is in a separate category because it’s part of a much larger development than most stadiums are. The stadium won’t drive revenues but the neighborhood will.

I’m hoping that a permanent brick-and-mortar store at the #ValleyOfAshes will mean more collabs and more exclusive merchandise available. Not just the quickie sell-through-in-a-day stuff.

"Gatsby Seats" appears to be leaning into the fans' #ValleyOfAshes nickname.

Also makes us think they didn't actually read the book.

No idea why they thought I’d be interested.

It’s a reference to the same plot of land in “The Great Gatsby”. Because we’re all cultured and shit.

We knew everything except the “Park” bit.

That’s why we’re already calling it the #ValleyOfAshes.

Yep. “Park” is the only surprise.

They can slap whatever name they want on the roof, it’ll still be the #ValleyOfAshes.
