Could New York City FC’s existence-long search for a permanent home be close to an end? Teasing comments made by Queens Borough President Donovan Richards make it seem like an announcement of a soccer specific stadium for NYCFC at Willets Point is imminent.
While speaking earlier today in a webinar titled “The Future of New York: The Economic Impact of Queens,” Richards was asked about what he envisions Queens looking like in 10 years time. The Borough President replied, “If you like soccer, the redevelopment of Willets Point...we’re going to have some announcements on with New York [City] Football Club.”
This comes not long after City Football Group CEO Ferran Soriano similarly hinted at an approaching announcement of NYCFC stadium plans, so we might truly be entering “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” territory as it pertains to a stadium announcement.
