Why a smaller stadium and a change in location could mean greater things for New York's reserve team.
The New York Red Bulls have a history at Montclair State. From 2007 to 2013, Montclair State was home to RBNY practices, serving as the team's training facility until the club completed work on its own complex in Hanover before the 2014 season. Now in 2016, the club has announced it will be returning to Montclair, this time making it the home of NYRB II's competitive games in USL.
By moving the reserve team's primary residence to Montclair State, New York Red Bulls II kills three birds with one stone while still maintaining its overarching purpose.
