AEG ANNOUNCES RED BULL PARK GROUNDBREAKING PLANS

Construction of New Home of New York Red Bulls MLS Soccer Franchise, 

Concerts & Events Will Begin in Harrison, New Jersey in September

 

HARRISON, New Jersey (August 11, 2006) – The official groundbreaking ceremony 
for Red Bull Park, a 25,000-seat soccer stadium to be developed as a major 
component of the three-million square foot Harrison MetroCentre, will take 
place on September 19, 2006 at 11:30 AM it was announced by Nick Sakiewicz, 
president of AEG New York, developers and managing partners of the outdoor 
venue.

 

When completed in summer, 2008, Red Bull Park will be the home of the New York 
Red Bulls of Major League Soccer, concerts, international soccer matches, 
special events and other sporting competitions.  AEG has recently developed and 
operates similar world-class “soccer specific” stadiums such as The Home 
Depot Center (Carson, California) and Toyota Park (Bridgeview, Illinois).

 

“It’s awesome to be finally breaking ground for the construction of what is 
going to be a very special stadium and surrounding development,” said 
Sakiewicz.  “Red Bull Park and Harrison Metro Center will be a place where 
soccer and entertainment lives. The rich soccer history in the area combined 
with the tremendous access to this location makes this the perfect place to 
build Red Bull Park.”

 

Recently, Hudson County, New Jersey and the Town of Harrison, New Jersey 
completed the sale of $39.4 million of revenue bonds to finance the land 
acquisition necessary for the development of the Red Bull Park.  AEG’s 
partner on the stadium development is Red Bull Company Limited, the Austrian 
company that produces the world’s leading energy drink as well as operates 
the New York Red Bulls soccer franchise since acquiring it from AEG earlier 
this year.

 

The $100 million state-of-the-art stadium will feature a 360 degree 
‘European”-style roof/canopy covering the majority of the seating area, 
spacious locker rooms, sound and lighting systems specially tailored to the 
unique surroundings of Red Bull Park, the finest turf to create soccer’s best 
pitch and well-appointed hospitality areas featuring 63 luxury suites 
positioned only 12 rows from the playing surface.

 

Advance Realty Group’s multi-billion dollar Harrison MetroCentre, will 
feature 3 million square feet of office space, 3,500 residential units, 300,000 
square feet of retail space, and over 10,000 decked parking spaces when 
completely built-out.
