New York City FC partners with Etihad Airways for naming rights to new stadium in Queens, NY. The venue, named Etihad Park, is set to open just before the 2027 MLS season. Financial terms of the 20-year agreement were not disclosed, with the stadium being privately funded. The new stadium will also be part of a larger public-private development in Queens, featuring affordable housing units and a public school. It is designed for multi-purpose use, hosting non-soccer events like concerts and festivals. The move reflects a trend in the sports industry towards multi-use stadiums to create more community engagement and economic opportunities.
