#NYCFCHouse, the club’s first-ever Pop-Up shop and experiential space, opens its doors to the public tomorrow (Thursday 8/31) in the heart of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.
Located under the shadow of The High Line and spanning four floors, #NYCFCHouse will be opening up in style in its first week, with exclusive product releases available for purchase, chalk talks from some of the game’s leading lights and skills challenges on the basement pitch.
Throughout the duration of the Pop-Up, #NYCFCHouse will host a mix of public and private events, including: soccer watch parties, rooftop parties, networking, and other fan events. An underground mini-pitch will also provide a space for the youngest NYCFC fans to play and develop their skills.
Yesterday, we hosted the USMNT press conference with Bruce Arena, Michael Bradley, Tim Howard and Christian Pulisic but what else is happening over the next seven days?
