| General Description: | 6/15/94 New York/New Jersey is named to be an MLS team location. 6/16-7/10/94 Giants Stadium plays host to seven sold-out World Cup Games on an impeccable Bermuda grass field. In all, 525,000 fans watch the world's greatest sports spectacle at Giants Stadium. 11/1/94 Charlie Stillitano, the NY/NJ Venue Executive Director during the World Cup, is named Vice President and General Manager of the MLS team, then known as the Empire Soccer Club. 6/6/95 The original 10 teams are in place. Metromedia's John Kluge and Stuart Subotnick are announced as the investor-operators of the team that will play in Giants Stadium. 8/4-8/6/95 The Empire Soccer Club shows commitment to local soccer fans by holding the Parmalat Cup. The event draws 80,000 spectators over two days. Benfica, Parma, Boca Juniors and the U.S. National Team put on a grand show at Giants Stadium, which is again adorned with a natural grass surface. 10/17/95 The Palladium nightclub in New York is host to "MLS Unveiled." Amid bright lights and high-decibel music, a world-class soccer league is born, complete with bold, colorful uniforms and some brash team nicknames. It is announced that the NY/NJ team will be known as the MetroStars and its first player will be local hero Tab Ramos, who dons a MetroStars uniform in public for the first time. 1/3/96 On a snowy day at Giants Stadium, former Cosmos' field boss Eddie Firmani is introduced as the first head coach of the MetroStars. The former Cosmos' coach shares the spotlight with another familiar face, that of U.S. goalkeeper and World Cup Team captain Tony Meola, who joins Ramos on the MetroStars' roster. 2/4/96 The Empire Radisson hotel in midtown Manhattan is the site of the MetroStars' biggest announcement to date.
