The New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer (MLS) will open their new 25,000-seat stadium, Red Bull Arena, on Saturday, March 20, with a match against the Brazilian team Santos F.C. Located in Harrison, NJ, the new stadium features a grass playing field and a roof that covers the stands but leaves the pitch open and exposed to the elements. According to the New York Times, the intimate stadium cost $200 million to build and has 30 luxury suites and 750 premium club seats. The final number of suites and premium seats is scaled back from the original plans that called for 66 suites and 2,000 club seats.
