Early history - 2020s[]

During the 2010s, McCartney Stadium was situated in the New Harbor Area of Central Night City, and was a favorite place for all sorts of violent people. The 75,000 seat stadium was home of the Night City Rangers, a National Football League team that showed a tenacious dominance in the late 2010s. In addition, there were other sport teams who played here, like the Deathdealers (combat-soccer), NC Heat (basketball), the Slammers (baseball), as well as wrestling teams. Corporations like Euro Business Machines or Merrill, Asukaga & Finch sponsored those teams. When the stadium was not being used for sporting events, the McCartney became Night City's main concert venue, with many large music shows and entertainment events held here.[1][2][3]

The internal stadium security contracted was reasonable, but once outside of the arena you were on your own and gang attacks were not unheard of, especially during a Rangers game. The stadium also had one of the CitiPark facilities, providing parking for visitors at a cost of 7eb per hour. Part of the surface parking lot had been poured over a nearby abandoned storage tank.

By 2020, the entire city sports system was the result of heavy corporate investment, who deemed it necessary for the good image of Night City as a heaven on Earth, and even the corporates liked to watch Monday Night Football. Fortunately for all parties involved, the sport teams, which were recruited with corporate money, all became popular enough to be self-supporting.[1]

2030s - 2040s[]

Unlike the neighboring New Harbor Mallplex, the McCartney Stadium survived the Fourth Corporate War onslaught. With a capacity for 75,000 visitors, the corporate-sponsored stadium was one of the landmarks in the Rebuilding Urban Zone of Upper Marina. It was the home of many local different sports teams during the Time of the Red.[4]

Notes[]

  • To better match the Night City of Cyberpunk RED with the layout of Cyberpunk 2077, the stadium was moved to the north in order for the structure to not have been affected at all by the Night City Holocaust.[Reddit 1]
  • McCartney Stadium's location in Cyberpunk 2077 when compared to Cyberpunk RED would correspond to the block northeast of Megabuilding H9, and due west of Arasaka Port. Noticeably, there is a unique entrance on Sarasti Street which is decorated with yellow illuminated squares that occupy much of the building's wall.
