Gotham FC has moved its National Women's Soccer League semifinal match against the Kansas City Current to Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island in Manhattan due to poor field conditions at Sports Illustrated Stadium. The decision was made after the team's quarterfinal match against the Seattle Reign, where the field was described as 'atrocious'. The move will disappoint many fans, as Sports Illustrated Stadium seats 25,000, while Icahn Stadium only holds 5,000. Gotham FC President of Soccer Operations Yael Averbuch West stated that the decision was difficult but necessary to ensure the players have a high-quality surface to compete on.
