Etihad Park, Soccer stadium in Willets Point, Queens, United States.
Etihad Park is a soccer stadium in Willets Point, Queens, serving as the home venue for New York City FC with a seating capacity of around 25,000. The facility features a large entrance hall called the Cube, which displays images and broadcasts on electronic screen walls.
Construction began at a site used for industrial purposes for decades, known as the Iron Triangle. The completion in 2025 marked the transformation of the location into a modern sports venue.
The stadium carries its name through a long-term naming rights agreement with an airline from the United Arab Emirates. The surrounding area has become a living neighborhood where shops and cafes serve as gathering spots before and after matches.
The stadium sits close to several subway lines and a rail station, making public transport access straightforward. Multiple entrances and accessible spaces throughout the facility help accommodate visitors with reduced mobility.
The facility operates exclusively on electric energy systems, with power partly supplied by solar panels mounted on the roof, making it the first MLS stadium of its kind. Rainwater is channeled into a recovery system and reused.
