Just days after announcing their newly-signed designated player Dante Venzir, word comes that the soon-to-be-constructed new Traning Complex has reached its next hurdle by choosing Gensler as the lead architectural designer for the facility.

The team announced today that Gensler, a global architecture, design, and planning firm, would serve as the lead architectural designer for its Training Complex in Morris Township, NJ. They will guide all architectural and design planning for the future state-of-the-art facility. 

"Gensler will provide world-class architectural planning expertise as we partner to build the premier training complex in all of Major League Soccer," said Marc de Grandpré, General Manager, of New York Red Bulls. "Our shared vision for this facility is something that our entire organization, along with the Morris Township community, will be extremely proud of for many years to come." 

“We are honored to partner with the New York Red Bulls to create their new home, which will bring their professional team, academy, and youth development programs together in one location,” said Jonathan Emmett, Principal and Design Director, Gensler. “The core design concept for the training complex focuses on the performance, health, and wellbeing of the athletes, coaches, and staff.” 

The Complex will be located on the former Honeywell site off of Columbia Road, within one mile of the Route 24 interchange with County Road 510. The 80 acres
of land being developed will feature eight soccer pitches. Along with the First Team and Red Bulls II, the Complex will also be home to the New York Red Bulls Academy and Youth Training programs, North America’s leading youth soccer development system.

Injury Update: Marcucci and Vanzeir Shine; Morgan Still Recovering

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced As preseason winds down with one game left to play, the players ready and available for Sandro Schwarz become more clear. Dante Vanzeir, who ended his 2023 with a back injury, has seemingly found the form the team hoped to get last year and goalkeeper AJ Marcucci looks ready to prove himself as an MLS goalkeeper with a solid performance on Wednesday. While there are positives from players coming back from injury, one player who still appears to be looking for fitness is Lewis Morgan. The 2022 top scorer for the Red Bulls, saw himself on the sidelines for most of 2023. Now, in preseason, he finds himself still working towards fitness according to head coach Sandro Schwarz. "We don't make risks for him," said Schwarz when asked if Lewis would feature in the team's last preseason game. "He's only in team training since two days.

He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
