MSU Soccer Park is in the midst of a number of enhancements, from increasing seating to 5,000 to Wi-Fi upgrades so spectators on the move can use his or her mobile device to not miss one bit of the action on the pitch.

“We put together a two-phase deal with Montclair State University where in the first phase we’re going to add 3,500 seats to their existing MSU Soccer Park, as well as a press box, camera towers, and do some ticket enhancements and some electrical enhancements,” Oliver said. “The first phase is almost 100 percent complete. We’re going to open up April 1. The second phase involves locker rooms and adding a few more seats to the stadium to bring it up to 5,000 as part of our USL capacity.”

MLS Commissioner Don Garber, a Montclair, N.J., resident, became the first season ticket holder during a ceremonial event in mid-December. As someone who knows MSU community, he reiterated the importance of refining NYRB II’s local base.

“These are the things that we love in our sport, establishing the permanent roots for the game, so people here from the local soccer community, from the university and obviously lots of Red Bull coaching staff,” Garber said to NewYorkRedBulls.com. “I just want to show my support. We want to make our game accessible. … Here, particularly in northern New Jersey, the support at the grassroots level is really, really high.”
