Why did we choose New York?
One of the great cities, New York’s size, history and reputation meant it was a standout candidate to host a GPFL team. The New York metropolitan area already plays host to the most professional sports teams in the USA’s top five leagues, so it’s well placed to add another to the stable.
NEW YORK
New York City, sometimes referred to as NYC, is the most populous city in the United States. NYC is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. The city is within the southern tip of New York State, and constitutes the geographical and demographic centre of both the Northeast megalopolis and the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass.
NYC is a global cultural, financial, and media center with a significant influence on commerce, health care and life sciences, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, dining, art, fashion, and sport. New York is the most photographed city in the world. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important centre for international diplomacy, an established safe haven for global investors, and is sometimes described as the capital of the world.
