The yearly cost to run this team is estimated to be over $200 million. This exceeds many other MLS soccer teams. This may seem like a lot of money but compared to the New York Yankees, who spend 5 times that amount in players salaries and coaching an staff, the cost of a MLS soccer team seems minuscule. Some of the high-profile international players that played for the team were Roberto Donadoni, Branco, Lothar Matthäus, Adolfo Valencia, Youri Djorkaeff, Amado Guevara. Roberto Donadoni (born September 9, 1963 in Cisano Bergamasco, Province of Bergamo, Lombardy) is an Italian football Branco, real name Cláudio Ibrahim Vaz Leal, (born April 4, 1964 in Bagé, Brazil) is former Brazilian footballer Lothar Herbert Matthäus (born March 21, 1961) is a German former football player and now manager currently managing Israeli club Adolfo José Valencia Mosquera (born February 6, 1968 in Buenaventura, Colombia) is a Soccer Striker who has played all Youri Djorkaeff (born March 9, 1968 in Lyon) is a former French Football (soccer player who played as a forward or as Amado Guevara (born May 2, 1976 in Tegucigalpa) is a Honduran football Midfielder, who currently plays for Canadian Some of these players salaries ranged from $1,000,000 up to $17. 5 million.

1996-2000

The club's original name was Empire Soccer Club, which gave birth to the name of the team's largest supporters' group, Empire Supporters Club. The Empire Supporters Club, or ESC, is the oldest and largest supporters club dedicated to Red Bull New York of Major League Soccer. Team owners John Kluge and Stuart Subotnick were executives at the company MetroMedia, leading to the inclusion of "Metro" as part of the soccer team's name. John Werner Kluge (born September 21, 1914) is a German - American Entrepreneur and a Billionaire. Metromedia (also often MetroMedia) was a media company that owned radio and Television stations in the United States from 1956 Nike wanted the full name to be MetroFlash, but a more sensible MetroStars was selected.

Tab Ramos, the first player to sign with MLS, became the first MetroStar, and was soon joined by 1994 World Cup teammate Tony Meola and A.C. Milan star midfielder Roberto Donadoni. Tabaré Ramos Ricciardi, known as Tab Ramos (born September 21, 1966 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a retired U The 1994 FIFA World Cup, the 15th staging of the FIFA World Cup, was held in the United States from June 17 to July 17 1994 Tony Meola (born Antonio Michael Meola on February 21, 1969) is an American Soccer goalkeeper who played for the United Associazione Calcio Milan, commonly referred to by the abbreviation Milan, is an Italian professional football club based in Milan, Lombardy Roberto Donadoni (born September 9, 1963 in Cisano Bergamasco, Province of Bergamo, Lombardy) is an Italian football 1990 World Cup player Peter Vermes was named the first team captain, but it was the previously unknown Venezuelan Giovanni Savarese who became the Metros' first breakthrough star.

When the league began play in 1996, it was expected that the MetroStars would quickly become the league's dominant team. Despite famous players and high-profile coach, the team never seemed to gel. Firmani left after eight games (3-5) and was replaced by former Portugal coach Carlos Queiroz who did no better than even (12-12) the rest of the season. Carlos Queirós, ComIH ('kaɾluʃ kɐi'ɾɔʃ (born 1 March 1953 in Nampula, Portuguese Mozambique) is a The team made it into the playoffs, only to lose to eventual champions D.C. United. DC United is a professional soccer club located in Washington D [5]

The team continued to flounder season after season. The combination of talented players and insipid play earned the team the sobriquet, RotMasters, from Paul Gardner, a curmudgeonly columnist at SoccerAmerica. Soccer America Magazine is a national American Magazine devoted to Soccer founded in the early 1970s and still being published Gardner coined the name by rearranging the letters spelling MetroStars.

Starting in 1998, the team stopped referring to itself NY/NJ, but it took a few years for the media and fans to catch up. The team went by just MetroStars, with no city or state attached to it, a rarity in American sports.

In 2000 MetroStars dropped the bombshell by acquiring German International player Lothar Matthäus from Bayern München.

Over the years, the MLS front office has attempted to help this team, which sits in the middle of the nation's media center of New York City by bending the rules to move high-profile names to the team. [6] However, that practice was abandoned since the sale of the team in 2001 to the Anschutz Entertainment Group; in fact, AEG President Tim Leiweke commented on neglect towards the franchise under its previous owners. The Anschutz Entertainment Group ( AEG) is a sporting and music entertainment presenter and a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation. [7]

2001-2005

Despite their poor domestic record, the MetroStars became the first (and at this point, only) MLS team to win a trophy outside of North American soil, a 2004 victory in La Manga Cup [8]. La Manga Cup is a winter football tournament played in La Manga del Mar Menor ( Murcia, Spain) The MetroStars defeated Ukraine's Dynamo Kyiv 3–2 in the semifinals before edging Norway's Viking FK 1–0 in the final.

Late in 2005, after the firing of Bob Bradley, assistant Mo Johnston was named interim head coach and guided the team to seven points in its last three games, with wins at DC United and then at Chivas USA the MetroStars made it to the playoffs. Bob Bradley (born March 3, 1958 in Montclair, New Jersey) is the current manager of the United States men's national soccer team. Maurice John Giblin "Mo" Johnston (born April 13, 1963 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a former Scottish football Club Deportivo Chivas USA (short form CD Chivas USA or Chivas USA) is a professional soccer club based in Carson, California, United States [9] Unfortunately it was just another season to end in disappointment after they were knocked out of the playoffs with a 3-2 loss to the New England Revolution. The New England Revolution, nicknamed the Revs, is a professional soccer club based in Foxborough Massachusetts, that participates in Major League

Red Bull takeover (2006-2007)

When Red Bull purchased the MetroStars in 2006[10] [11], it decided to completely re-brand the franchise, changing the name, colors, and logo. The team's purchase by Red Bull generated controversy among some fans of the MetroStars, not dissimilar to the situation in Austria, where Red Bull bought SV Austria Salzburg and renamed it Red Bull Salzburg. While some fans were disappointed with the loss of Metro identity, others found fault in corporate branding, or with labeling the franchise as New York, when it plays and is headquartered in New Jersey. Some fans even went to the extent of leaving the team. Letters to the Red Bulls ownership show their indifference to what former fans thought of the name change. Other fans have accepted the change, in light of the MetroStars' lack of success on the field, and waning support in the stands. In 2006 the Red Bulls managed to defeat German powerhouse Bayern Munich 4–2 in a friendly game in Giants Stadium which was a sign of progress. FC Bayern München is a German Sports club based in Munich, Bavaria (München Bayern Giants Stadium, is the home Stadium for the New York Giants and New York Jets football teams of the NFL, and the Red Bull New [12]

Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber has stated that a second franchise in the New York area can come "as early as 2010, but not before that. Don Garber (born October 9, 1957 in Queens New York) is the Commissioner of Major League Soccer and CEO of Soccer " Whether that new team will be known as the MetroStars, and whether it would inherit the team's pre-2006 history from the New York Red Bulls, is not known, but seems unlikely since Red Bull has announced that it will acknowledge MetroStars history from the team's inception, regarding the New York Red Bulls as a continuation of that history and not a separate franchise. Despite the claim, the Red Bull New York media guide claims that the club was founded in 2006[13].
