The excitement continues at Red Bull Arena as NJ/NY Gotham FC gears up to host Seattle Reign FC on Sunday, June 30, 2024. The match, set to kick off at 1:00 p.m., will be a special occasion as Gotham FC marks the send-off for their players heading to the 2024 Paris Games.

This match promises to be a thrilling encounter, not only for the on-field action but also for the heartfelt send-off celebration for Gotham FC players who will be representing their countries in Paris. The early start time of 1:00 p.m. is a departure from the usual evening kick-offs, making it the second consecutive weekend for the early start.

Gotham FC is currently ranked 4th in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) standings, boasting a strong record of 8 wins, 3 losses, and 3 ties. Their opponents, Seattle Reign FC, have faced a challenging season, sitting at the 13th spot with 2 wins, 9 losses, and 3 ties.

Seattle Reign FC: Home and Fans

Seattle Reign FC plays their home games at Lumen Field, located in Seattle, Washington. The stadium is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and can accommodate up to 68,740 fans, making it one of the larger venues in the league. However, the Seattle Reign FC configures the Stadium so it is only 10,000 seats for regular games.  The Stadium seating expands when the necessity arises.

Traffic and Parking Advisory

With back-to-back soccer games at Red Bull Arena this weekend, including the New York Red Bulls match on Saturday, June 29, 2024, and the Gotham FC match on Sunday, June 30, 2024, the Harrison Police Department is likely to issue a Traffic and Parking Bulletin. While traffic is generally more manageable for Gotham FC games, fans are advised to plan their travel and parking arrangements ahead of time to avoid delays.

Consecutive Soccer Weekends

This weekend marks the second consecutive weekend of soccer action at Red Bull Arena, providing fans with a fantastic opportunity to enjoy top-tier soccer on both Saturday and Sunday. The double-header weekends have been a hit with the local soccer community, bringing a festive and competitive atmosphere to Harrison, NJ. That being said, consecutive soccer weekends do tax the lifestyle of Harrison residents who must work around the traffic and road closures that come with events at the Red Bull Arena.  It appears that the Red Bulls Arena may exceed last year's record of 50 events at the Red Bull Arena.
