Queensboro Stadium – design description

New stadium in Queens is to become New York’s very first professional football (soccer) stadium. The nearby Jamaica subway station may be the end of the line, but it’s still within NY’s administrative boundaries.

The venue will sit within the York College campus of City University of New York (CUNY). Four independent and uncovered modular grandstands are planned, in total offering 7,500 seats, enough to meet the criteria of USL Championship, USA’s second tier.

Because of limited space, the field’s orientation is east-west rather than north-south. These same constraints forced much of the ancillary functions, including commerce and hospitality, to be located along the west side of the plot, not exactly within the stadium.
