The Red Bull Arena officially opened on 20 March 2010 with a friendly match between the New York Red Bulls and Brazilian side Santos FC (3-1). The stadium was initially designed to have a built-in concert stage, however after the take-over of the club by Red Bull the design got changed to a more typical European-style football stadium.Ĭonstruction started in 2007, but due to several delays it took until 2010 for the stadium to be completed. The Red Bull Arena was built to provide the New York Red Bulls with a soccer specific home. In their first decade of existence, then still called NY/NJ MetroStars, they had played their home matches at the much too large Giants Stadium and plans were therefore made to build a smaller soccer-specific stadium.
