The New York Cosmos have announced Belson Stadium in Queens as the venue for their matchup with the New England Revolution in the U.S. Open Cup. Kickoff for the Round of 16 match on June 29 is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.

The Cosmos have hosted cup matches at the St John’s University facility before, including this year’s third round win over the PDL’s Express. They hosted the third round match in the lead up to last year’s Open Cup in Belson as well. However, this is the first time they’ve hosted a MLS team at Belson, and likewise, the first time they host a fifth round match away from Shuart.

The NASL side is hoping to advance to the Quaterfinals of the Cup for the first time since they started participating in 2014. They have an impressive three wins against their first MLS opposition over the past three years, but they’ve fallen short to MLS sides every year in the following round. In 2014, the Philadelphia Union ousted the Cosmos at then-PPL Park and last year, the Red Bulls made short work of the Cosmos at Red Bull Arena.
