"Giants Stadium is nearly empty for most Red Bulls' games � the team's average of 11,573 for its first 10 home matches was next to last in the league. The crowd that came out for Beckham was the largest in franchise history and the largest there for a U.S. league game since the Cosmos drew 70,312 against Fort Lauderdale on June 22, 1980."

So, in terms of finance and making football in NZ more popular, it
would be good for the Phoenix to host the L.A. Galaxy.
And they got rid of the american football lines just for
this match. Suck-ups. I have unlimited frustration towards that.
They had those lines two weeks ago when Toronrto played in Giants
stadium and they'll be putting them right back up because it's NFL
preseason now.
The Red Bulls won't have that problem long term as they're building
their own soccer specific park . . . with real grass.
