Red Bull Arena remains the best purpose-built soccer atmosphere in the New York area - steep stands, a roof that traps noise, and the South Ward supporters' section going for ninety minutes. A late-September Saturday night with playoff positioning still live is when the building is at its loudest, and the PATH drops you a two-minute walk from the gate.
What to expect
A 25,000-seat soccer-specific stadium with a covered bowl that keeps the noise in, active supporters' groups behind one goal, and standard MLS matchday concessions and pre-match bars along Harrison's main strip. The match streams on Apple TV if you would rather watch it. Harrison PATH station is directly outside the stadium.
Good to know
- The stadium is in Harrison, New Jersey - take PATH to Harrison, which lets out beside the ground.
- The venue has been renamed Sports Illustrated Stadium; older listings still call it Red Bull Arena.
- The supporters' sections behind the south goal stand and sing for the full match - pick your seats accordingly.
- All Red Bull New York matches this season stream on Apple TV rather than local broadcast.
- The bowl is covered, which keeps rain off most seats and makes the crowd noticeably louder.
- PATH runs reduced late-night service; check the return schedule before the final whistle.
