caused by Hurricane Sandy, Red Bull Arena appeared to be in relatively good
shape as Saturday’s MLS Cup playoff game between the New York Red Bulls and
D.C. United approaches.
“Our staff was continually assessing Red Bull Arena overnight and this
morning and found only minor, non-structural damage to the facility,” the
club said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. “In addition, the pitch was
fully covered and did not experience flooding. We want to thank our stadium
operations and security staff for their tremendous job in preparing for
Hurricane Sandy.
“Our club is currently in communication with local officials, authorities
and Major League Soccer and evaluating our options for Saturday's playoff
game against D.C. United. We hope to provide further information soon.”
The region’s mass transit systems remained closed late Tuesday. Red Bull
Arena is adjacent to the Harrison PATH train station.
United president and CEO Kevin Payne told The Washington Post that the
stadium didn’t have power earlier Tuesday. When asked if D.C. would be
willing to play Saturday’s playoff opener at RFK Stadium instead, moving
the second and final leg of the Eastern Conference semifinal series to Red
Bull Arena on Nov. 7, Payne said, “We haven’t discussed scenarios, but I
wouldn’t support that.”
United finished the regular season in second place at 17-10-7, one point
ahead of the 16-9-9 Red Bulls, thereby earning the right to host the second
game (and potential overtime and penalty kicks) at RFK. | n*********e
