NEW YORK -- NYCFC's $780 million, 25,000-seat venue expected to open across from Citi Field in 2027 will be named Etihad Park under a 20-year agreement announced Thursday with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates.
NYCFC's controlling owner is City Football Group, the parent company of England's Manchester City. The Premier League team's venue was renamed Etihad Stadium in July 2011.
