Rentschler Field to Host MLS Game

Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field will host its first-ever MLS game next month.

New York City FC will take on the Houston Dynamo at the East Hartford stadium at 3 p.m. on September 23 thanks to a scheduling conflict.

The Major League Soccer clubs were supposed to square off in Yankee Stadium that day, however, the Yankees will need their home park to make up a rained out game from earlier in the season.

NYCFC conducted an extensive search for an alternate site to play and chose Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field, according to a release.

"Pratt & Whitney Stadium is a great venue for us due to its wonderful playing surface and facilities," the team's sporting director, Claudio Reyna, told NYCFC.com. "Hartford is a great soccer city which has hosted many important international games - I played there in a couple of games for the National Team many years ago - and it was always a wonderful place to play with a fantastic atmosphere and environment."

Pratt & Whitney Stadium hosted the U.S. Men's National Team's match against Ghana on July 1.
