Here's a list of teams and the distances away from what Google Maps says is "center of city" that they claim to represent or nearest urban area.
Red Bull Arena is a 20 minute PATH Train ride from the World Trade Center. Only four stops.
The geography discussion is LAZY and TIRED. 90% of the NYCFC fans that talk about geography can be seen on their Facebook pages sporting Giants and Jets stuff too. It's much easier to accept that the NY in RBNY represents the NY Metro Area which Central/North NJ is included in.
Why don't we talk about the fact that RED BULL has given us maybe the most beautiful soccer specific stadium in the United States. They have poured a ton of money into the youth program which has a footprint all over NJ and NY while providing NO COST programs for kids. They have also built a hell of a team that is going to be competitive for a very long time.
To dismiss this team because of their location or their branding just makes you look daft. Check the team out and realize they employ maybe one of the most attractive styles of soccer this league has ever seen.
