You'd hope the quality and consistency of playing surfaces wouldn't be an issue for any team during the MLS Cup playoffs, but it might be a scrutinized factor for FC Cincinnati's upcoming best-of-three series against New York City FC.

For the first time in club history, Subaru Park will host a Union II playoff game when they face rivals New York City FC II on Sunday afternoon. The matchup was initially picked by Marlon LeBlanc and the Union II Front Office during the MLS Next Pro Pick-Your-Opponent event.

A Decision Day loss in Montréal means that New York City will begin the best-of-three Round One of the MLS Cup Playoffs on the road at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati.
