Mets’ Owner’s Casino License Bid Holds the Soccer Stadium Development Project

As Front Office Sports reports, Steve Cohen, the owner of Major League Baseball’s New York Mets, will not allow the neighboring New York City FC (NYCFC) of Major League Soccer to use the Mets parking lot free of charge. Cohen is reportedly negotiating a casino development project in the area of the City Field Stadium located in Queens, New York City.

Citi Field is a baseball stadium located in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York City. It opened in 2009 and is the home field of Major League Baseball’s New York Mets. The Yankee Stadium is a baseball and soccer stadium and the home field of the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball, and New York City FC of Major League Soccer. The distance between the two stadiums is around 7 miles.
