NYCFC is a great team
The team scored a goal in the 83rd minute when all hope was gone. The NY Red Bulls fought till the end. They were a tough team to beat.

Mediocre Experience
Yankee stadium is a good baseball stadium, but a terrible football stadium. My view of the pitch was obstructed by foul posts, and the fact that we were watching a football match in a baseball stadium just made the experience feel inauthentic. On top of this, the game was not very entertaining because the players kept losing the ball in midfield. However, I cannot say that it was necessarily bad because we did see a football match in a clean stadium and got exactly what we paid for. I would definitely not reccomend buying seats in section 132.

Unforgettable... for the wrong reasons
The NYC vs Red Bulls game was easily the worst professional soccer game I've had the misfortune to watch - summarised quite nicely by the player of the game being awarded to a goalkeeper who lumped virtually all of his goal kicks out of play for throw-ins and who had to make only a handful of basic saves. The build-up play was awful - long balls played to 5'8" forward players and the decision making consistently frustrating - players trying through-balls through a wall of legs in front of them. The best part of the game was the three minute spell around the NYC box as the their defence desperately tried to extracate their haplesss teammate Tinnerholm (another who seemed to be incapable of completing a pass) from the goal net. To give credit where it's due, the NYC fans made a valiant effort to create an exciting atmosphere - their enthusiastic support at complete odds with the abject showing on the pitch.

Outstanding game
Great seats for the derby. We bought tickets, unknowingly in the redbulls section, which made the NYCFC victory even sweeter!

Good game
Good game overall, NYCFC got the W, Villa scored his 400 & 401 career goals, the bleachers is where the party is at with all the excitement.

2nd mortgage for beer, lol
Been a while since I've been to a live sporting event. Wasn't bad, considering they play on a baseball field. Section 225, row 8 had a great view of the entire playing field but I now understand why everyone ahead of me paid for their beer with a credit card. A 6 pack at the local store is cheaper than one Shock Top at the stadium. Yowzer. Parking was pretty easy, in and out as was getting to the stadium from there, expensive but it's NYC. I would recommend avoiding the GWB like the plague. I was making fun of how long it would take using train/subway, turns out it might have been faster than driving! All in all, expensive but enjoyable.
Info
New York City FC at Yankee Stadium
The Bronx, New York, is home to a Major League Soccer team it can be proud of. New York City FC has the shared heritage and ownership of Manchester City -- whose City Football Group controls 80 percent of the franchise -- and the New York Yankees, who own the remaining 20 percent.
NYCFC play at Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009 and is the third iteration of the venerable stadium. The first Yankee Stadium was built in 1923 and rebuilt in the mid '70s. Yankee Stadium seats 28,743 for most MLS games and can seat up to 47,309 for playoff games and other important matches. The official supporters group, The Third Rail, occupies Sections 236 and 237 of Yankee Stadium and was founded immediately after the establishment of the franchise.
New York City FC History
New York City FC first began play in 2015, after the 20th MLS franchise was awarded in 2013. NYCFC already has a strong connection with the New York Red Bulls, and their rivalry already has a name: the Hudson River Derby.
After finding their footing during their inaugural season, New York City FC reeled off three playoff appearances in a row, making the Eastern Conference semi-finals in 2016, 2017, and 2018. While NYCFC lost in these games to Toronto FC, the Columbus Crew, and the Chicago Fire, respectively, they have laid the groundwork for future postseason success.
The New York City FC roster was quickly built around such international stars as David Villa and Frank Lampard, giving the team credibility and a solid reputation from the very beginning. From that foundation came a consistency which allowed NYCFC to make three playoff appearances in their first four years.
David Villa, who prior to joining New York City FC helped lead Spain to the 2010 FIFA World Cup title, had an immediate and lasting impact on the club. He led the team in scoring in each of his four seasons and won the 2016 MLS Most Valuable Player Award before leaving to play in Japan for Vissel Kobe after the 2018 MLS season.
