New York sports fans are getting a massive new landmark to rally around at Willets Point. Enter The Cube. This isn't just an entrance; it's an immersive, seven-story-high LED-lined portal designed for the upcoming NYCFC stadium.

Approved by the NYC Planning Commission in March 2024, The Cube is angled specifically to greet the crowds arriving via public transportation from the south. It's designed to create an electric arrival experience, pumping up the energy of thousands of fans as they march toward the game. While the stadium is where the athletes push their limits, The Cube is where the fans' excitement reaches its peak, marking the start of a high-energy match day.
