Sea scrum! Major League Rugby debuts at MCU Park
It’s a whole new ballgame for the stadium by the sea.
New York State’s first Major League Rugby team recently kicked off its first full season at Coney Island’s MCU Park, where the athletes will face off against their rivals in games through the end of May. Rugby United New York’s new home in Sodom by the Sea will allow its players to introduce their sport to a new fan base in Brooklyn and beyond, according to the team captain.
“We’re really excited to bring our sport to Brooklyn, and share it with people in Coney Island and everyone throughout New York City, from longtime rugby fans to those who are new to it,” said Mike Petri, who lives in Bay Ridge. “It definitely has the potential to attract a lot of new fans, especially around the Coney Island region.”
