NYCFC’s Willets Point Stadium Etihad Park, opening in 2027

 

This is not where Cohen wants to put the casino.

From QNS.COM

Etihad Airways was a principal and founding partner of New York City FC in 2014 and has been the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor in each of its first 10 seasons in Major League Soccer.

Etihad Park is finally providing the franchise with a new, soccer-specific home after the club spent its first decade of existence searching for a permanent home. The club has called Yankee Stadium home since its inception but has often been forced to play matches elsewhere, like at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ, or at Citi Field, which will host the team’s Eastern Conference semifinal against the rival Red Bulls on Saturday.

The stadium, which is projected to seat 25,000 fans, is the centerpiece of a project at the Willets Point site across from Citi Field that will also feature a 2,500-unit affordable housing complex, a 650-seat elementary school, a 250-room hotel, retail space, and roughly 40,000 square feet of public open space.

Did you grab your 2024 QBC tickets yet?

Turk Wendell, Gregg Jefferies, Ray Knight, Jose Reyes(provided exclusively by Coach's Collectibles) will all be doing panels and signings. SNY is bringing in two panels.

There are less than 6 Orange VIP tickets left for QBC 2024.

We have been getting asked where is the General Admission ticket that doesn't have any autographs attached to it. There isn't one but there is a reason for it. The General Admission Price was going to be $74.99 plus tax and fees with or without the Turk Auto. Dan and Keith wanted to take the sting out of that price a bit buy throwing in the Turk auto as a bonus. We always like to preface the pricing with we don't make money on the QBC. Our whole goal is to make sure we don't lose money and have to go into our own pockets to pay for these events. We do this for our fellow Mets fans as a labor of love. If we make money we put it right back into the QBC bank account for the next event. We keep trying to make each event better than the last and this is our business model.

Again we have less than 6 of the Orange VIP packages left and we want to let you know that's the best value we have after the sold out Blue VIP Tables. I would grab those if I was buying tickets.

You need to buy a ticket package to enter QBC. These these ticket packages contain admission to QBC and one autograph from one of the players. You can purchase additional autograph tickets for the players separately.

About Post Malone

A 9x diamond-certified GRAMMY® Award-nominated phenomenon, Dallas, TX artist Post Malone regularly rewrites history, blurs boundaries, and incites internet-breaking conversation with every move. Emerging in 2015 with a genre-less brew that inspired a movement, he delivered the diamond-selling “Congratulations” [feat. Quavo], achieved back-to-back #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, received countless multi-Platinum certifications around the world, and smashed one record after another with his Hot 100-topping hits. As the writer or co-writer of all of his songs, Post Malone is one of our generation's literary geniuses. 

 

Most recently, Post released his debut country album, F-1 Trillion which landed at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Ahead of the album, Post released “Guy For That” featuring Luke Combs, “Pour Me A Drink” featuring Blake Shelton and mega-smash “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen. Upon release of “I Had Some Help” it crash-landed at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, tallying “the highest weekly sales and streams since 2020” and remained at #1 for six consecutive weeks. This fall, Post wrapped his record breaking F-1 Trillion Tour. 

 

In 2023, he released his fifth album AUSTIN. That same year, he garnered a “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” GRAMMY® Award nomination for “I Like You (A Happier Song)” [with Doja Cat], marking his tenth career nomination in six years. In 2022, Post released his fourth album, Twelve Carat Toothache, which marked his fourth consecutive Top 5 bow on the Top 200. He even scored “the highest-certified single in RIAA history” with “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse)” [feat. Swae Lee] reaching 20x platinum, or double diamond, in the United States. This makes it the first song to ever achieve this status, netting the biggest single of his generation.  

 

In 2019, his third full-length album, Hollywood’s Bleeding, arrived at platinum status and eventually went triple platinum. It reigned at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 for four weeks. Hollywood’s Bleeding followed the immense success of the triple-Platinum beerbongs & bentleys, which also landed at #1 a year prior. In the wake of beerbongs & bentleys, Post crushed a record in place for 54 years. He charted nine songs in the Top 20 of the Hot 100, notching “the most songs in the Top 20 of the Hot 100 ever.” Moreover, he also trounced the record for most simultaneous Top 40 Hot 100 hits with 14.

 

Post’s catalog comprises the GRAMMY® Award-nominated “rockstar” [feat. 21 Savage” (Diamond), “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse)” [feat. Swae Lee] (2x Diamond), “I Fall Apart” (Diamond), “Psycho” [feat. Ty Dolla $ign] (Diamond), “White Iverson” (Diamond), “Better Now” (Diamond), and more. It all started with his quintuple-platinum influential 2016 debut, Stoney. With records under his belt that will likely never be surpassed and a generation of artists and audiences worldwide under his spell, Post Malone simply doesn’t stop.

With this new outing, Stray Kids aims to reach more regions and connect with even more STAY (fandom name), across the globe.

 

The new shows are set to take place next year, kicking off at Estadio Bicentenario La Florida in Chile on March 28 and making stops in cities like Rio de Janeiro; Los Angeles; Toronto; London, and more before wrapping up in Paris at Stade de France on July 26. This marks the first performances for the group in notable global stadiums including SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, CA; Citi Field in New York, NY; Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, MX, and many more. 

 

Stray Kids has already cemented themselves as global icons, having achieved numerous milestones for the last six years of their career. They’ve made history with groundbreaking festival appearances, becoming the first K-Pop group to perform at Le Gala Des Pièces Jaunes and headlining major festivals in 2024 such as Chicago’s Lollapalooza, Milan’s I-DAYS, and London’s BST Hyde Park.

 

The tour has already made waves, captivating STAY in major Australian cities and across Asia. Kicking off in Seoul at KSPO Dome for four nights with an electric show, and will continue through Bulacan, Macau, Osaka, Bangkok, Jakarta, and finish with two nights in Hong Kong on January 18 and 19. The members — Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, HAN, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N – each have solo performances, with songs hailing from their brand new album “ATE,” released this past July.
