New York City FC (NYCFC) broke ground on its new stadium in Willets Point Wednesday afternoon
The 25,000-seater stadium, which will be named Etihad Park, is scheduled to be completed before the start of the 2027 MLS season and will be the first-ever soccer-specific stadium in the five boroughs of New York City. The site is located across the street from the Citi Field bullpen along Seaver Way in Willets Point.
Once completed, the stadium will also be the first fully electric stadium in the United States.
