NYCFC Diaries, Vol. 6: Pirlo Parties, Orlando CIty Almost Spoiling Them
30,042 people showed up to see Andrea Pirlo’s historic “baby blue” debut. Every once in a while, NYCFC’s PR department opened up certain section of the nosebleeds, something they usually do for Grade A games, and Andrea Pirlo’s first game for NYCFC was certainly that.

The NYCFC Diaries, Vol. 5: New York Derby, Part Deux
The Twitter account campaigned to light up the Empire State Building in vibrant blue colors; it did. #WINNYCFC was the slogan every NYCFC fan went by on Twitter and even in real life.

Tonight’s Forecast? Nothing But Majestic! It sucks that I still had to don a jacket of some sort. I see the majority of people in my section wearing shorts and here I am thinking “aren’t these people going to complain sooner or later?” Funny enough, they did. But who am I to say? The weather…

The NYCFC Diaries: Subway Greetings, Drunken Stupors and Sporting KC
The Subways The New York City subway system is a primary source of inconvenience, vexation, and everything in between.

The NYCFC Experience
The buildup was worth it, the wait was worth it, the long-ass subway rides were worth it and, of course, the win was totally worth it.
