Major updates are coming to Red Bull Arena 💺 The N.Y. Red Bulls are transforming media seating into a new premium offering called The Box Seats. They are behind the teams' benches and beside the player walk-out tunnel. These 188 seats have access to a renovated lounge featuring all-inclusive food and beverages, dedicated seating, valet parking, a private entrance, and in-seat service. The Box Lounge, with a future naming rights partner, will offer high-end food options and all-inclusive drinks. Fans in the front row seats, now known as the Manager's Box, will have exclusive access through the Red Bulls player tunnel. Media members will be relocated to Section 222, and a new workroom will be built for them. Designed by Populous, the project will be ready for the 2025 MLS season, aligning with the club's larger training ground project in Morris Township, N.J., expected to open by the end of 2025.

The NFL has started its quest to overturn the blockbuster $4.7 billion verdict in the "Sunday Ticket" antitrust trial 🏈📜 The NFL has filed a motion to overturn the recent $4.7 billion antitrust verdict, calling it "nonsensical" and "irrational." The league argues that the jury misunderstood key aspects of the case and accuses the foreperson of bias, questioning jury instructions and the damages calculation methodology. If successful, this could lead to a reduced verdict or a new trial. However, the NFL's motion also sets the stage for a potential Supreme Court appeal, arguing that the league cannot be liable for antitrust violations due to the relationship between "Sunday Ticket" buyers and DirecTV.
