The Major League Soccer Operations Staff of the Year recognizes the club's success while faced with challenges of stadium operations, security, and match day logistics.

Red Bull Arena also became the first stadium in MLS to create a permanent Sensory Room in 2017. The area is sensory-friendly for families affected by Autism or any family need. The club consulted with the Family Services team from Autism Speaks to design the room, which provides space for families to enjoy Red Bulls matches while sitting inside a room that significantly reduces noise levels.

In addition to running Red Bulls home matches, the operations staff was also tasked with managing events that further established Red Bull Arena as the premier soccer venue in North America. Events included a U.S. Men's National Team World Cup Qualifier, SheBelieves Cup and hosting high-profile clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and AS Roma, and open training sessions for star-studded FC Barcelona. International teams from Honduras, Costa Rica, Canada, Ecuador and El Salvador also made appearances at Red Bull Arena. In September, the venue hosted the Danone Nations Cup Final, the biggest youth soccer tournament in the world with 40 teams from 32 countries. Show less

The Red Bulls led the designated New York area in five of the seven individual categories, including ticket purchase (832), security and ushers (844), seating area and game experience (849), food and beverage (780), and game arrival (802).

The study measures fan satisfaction with their overall experience at major pro sporting events. Fan satisfaction is evaluated across seven factors (in order of importance): seating area and game experience; security and ushers; leaving the game; arriving at the game; food and beverage; ticket purchase; and souvenirs and merchandise. Satisfaction is measured on a 1,000-point scale. Additional factors that are measured but not included in the official ranking are loyalty and future intentions; team performance (on-field); and team image. Show less
