interesting graphic depicting the size difference - It looks even smaller than those measurements - all the fields across the league, I figured Atlanta was 120 vs 115, dang field looks huge when you are there in person. Imagine youth players on a field that size, would be hysterically to watch from the seats of the benz

Looks even smaller than the rumored size. Even my 12 year old was saying the field looked both short and narrow

Doesn’t look like a big difference but 15% or so less playing surface. Given penalty boxes same size, rest of field area probably close to 20% smaller versus Benz. Same number of players in 20% less space most of the game and yes - tight! That's the big tell. When you see how close together the players are and how "crowded" it looks. They should just play 9v9 to keep out of each other's way on that "pitch" (It's HORRIBLE!!)

As my son said (U12 this year on 9v9 Field - eg Fowler...) - “this looks like our games looked this spring. No space and no time. All the players better be good in tight spaces and super creative. Linger on the ball and you get crushed” Whereas he is absolutely correct, NYCFC clearly has the home advantage. No one else has this ridiculous setup. And adult sized people on this small a space just looks crappy. As you can tell, I REALLY REALLY REALLY dislike this field.
