Sports Illustrated Stadium, Soccer stadium in Harrison, United States
Sports Illustrated Stadium is a soccer venue in Harrison, a suburb of New York City in the state of New Jersey. The facility has a curved transparent roof that spans the seating areas, while the front rows sit close to the edge of the playing field.
Construction began in 2006 and the venue opened on March 20, 2010. Since then, the local soccer club has played its home matches here.
The southern stands fill with the loudest supporters on match days, who sing continuously and give the action on the pitch a special intensity. Fans wear bright red jerseys and scarves that turn the entire venue into a unified wave of color.
The venue is easily reached by PATH train, which stops at Harrison station, or by several bus lines from New Jersey. On match days, arriving early is recommended as the surrounding area becomes busy.
The outer shell consists of a tensioned fabric made of PTFE fiberglass, forming one of the largest roof structures in North American professional soccer. This material allows natural light to pass through while providing weather protection from rain or strong sun.
