Just three days removed from a gut punch of a draw at home against Philadelphia, Atlanta United makes their way back onto the pitch, this time in Harrison, New Jersey to play NYC...F...C?
*checks notes* Yep, NYCFC.
So, a midweek game in your opponent’s rival’s stadium with no head coach— that’s pretty MLS-y. On the bright side, though, the Five Stripes won’t have to experience the interesting dimensions of a Yankee Stadium field this go round, taking away one of New York City’s home field advantages that has caused Atlanta plenty of issues in the past.
