The largest crowd at Citi Field this year has not been for a New York Mets game, but rather for Wednesday night’s record-setting contest between Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit of the National Women’s Soccer League<\/a> (NWSL).<\/p>\n

A total of 42,175 fans braved the poor air quality in New York stemming from wildfires in Canada, the most ever for a women’s sporting event in New York City,<\/a> but the spectacle, one of the stars on the pitch said, should not have been played.<\/p>\n

“If we have to have a hydration break every 15 minutes, then we shouldn\u2019t be playing the game, and that\u2019s my opinion,” Washington’s Trinity Rodman said, via The Athletic. “But at the end of the day, there\u2019s 40,000 people. It\u2019s a whole event, so it\u2019s really tough. It\u2019s just a really hard situation for everyone to work around.”<\/p>\n

The air quality in the tri-state area has been deemed “unhealthy,” perhaps putting a wrinkle in Sunday’s World Cup<\/a> Final at nearby MetLife Stadium. Rodman said the air quality was “rough” to go along with temperatures that neared triple digits.<\/p>\n

“Not to make excuses at all, but I think on both sides we were all like, \u2018another break, another break, another break,'” Rodman, whose team lost 1-0, said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Gotham announced the club would start playing at the new Etihad Park adjacent to Citi Field starting in 2028. They currently play at Sports Illustrated Stadium, the home of MLS’ New York Red Bulls, in New Jersey.<\/a><\/p>\n

NYCFC has played most of its home games at Yankee Stadium but has also started to frequent Citi Field, as it will be moving to Etihad Park as well.<\/p>\n

Due to the air quality, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherill said she “directed” NJ Transit and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority “to make select quantities of masks available to commuters and at rest areas along the Turnpike and Parkway.”<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> urged residents to “stay somewhere cool” and “drink plenty of water.”<\/p>\n
