New York, New York!

Toronto FC will open the 2016 MLS season in the Big Apple with a trip to Red Bull Arena, Major League Soccer revealed Tuesday.

The Reds take on Supporters’ Shield-winning Red Bull New York on March 6 at 1:30 p.m., then return to New York in Week 2 to face New York City FC at Yankee Stadium.

The Reds failed to beat expansion outfit NYCFC in three meetings last season. They’ve never won at Red Bull Arena.

Due to ongoing construction at BMO Field — which includes adding roofing over the east, west and south sections — Toronto FC won’t play a home game until Week 12 of the regular season (May 7) when FC Dallas visits the Big Smoke.

Other marquee matches on opening weekend include the Portland Timbers hosting the Columbus Crew — a rematch of this month’s MLS Cup. Up the road in Vancouver, the Whitecaps host Canadian rival Montreal on a day that will feature all 20 teams in action.

The Reds, meanwhile, are expected to play their first seven to 10 games on the road until BMO Field renovations are complete, meaning they’ll likely have a schedule back-loaded with home dates next summer.

New Toronto FC president Bill Manning told reporters last month he expects a minimum of a point-per-game average during TFC’s extended road trip. Prior to that, Manning said he was “embarrassed” with how the season ended in Montreal — comments that put pressure on the club’s embattled coaching staff from the start.

FANS MAKING THREATS

At least one report out of Montreal claims season ticket holders are threatening to leave the stands at Saputo Stadium if Didier Drogba doesn’t return next season.

Drogba has been linked with a possible move back to Chelsea after former manager Jose Mourinho left the club last week.

Guus Hiddink assumed interim coaching duties at Stamford Bridge and the Dutch manager confirmed interest in bringing back Drogba to join him on the bench.

Kelly Greig of Global Montreal reported Tuesday that Impact season ticket holders are calling headquarters and threatening to cancel seats for 2016 if Drogba doesn’t see out the 18-month deal he signed earlier this year.

BRADLEY WINS AWARD

Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley has been named U.S. soccer’s player of the year for 2015.

The General earned his 100th international cap earlier this year, making him the fourth youngest U.S. player to achieve the milestone.

He led all U.S. players this year with 1,668 minutes played while contributing six assists and three goals.
