Stadium Discussion

He's been around a while. He has a profile here but hasn't posted in a long time. I've met him (but don't claim to know him) at some events and he seems a decent chap. He writes about the team independently as far as I can tell. I don't think he has true inside scoop but I don't doubt there are people willing to tell him things OTR.

I think he was also the Inaugural Fan in the Starting XI Photo as well, so he’s been a big supporter for a while.

Nothing against Tony because we all do this, but I think making any kind of confident pronouncement about stadium timelines damages your credibility vis-à-vis stadium timelines.

I'm downgrading this season. Their STH #s next season are going to be a disaster, even with an announcement. And especially without Villa.

When Jr. hits college, I'm going to need people to sit with. Is there a 50+ supporters group in the works?

I think I confused my 4-letter mono-named forum members Adam & Seth.

We're all allowed a senior moment or two.

Nerds in the group: Any reason to believe that the Amazon news has a negative impact on a potential stadium effort for the short term? Am I reaching?

It can go one of two ways, IMO:

Option A - CFG try to get into bed with Amazon to develop the area even further, create even more affordable housing, etc. and everyone loves the plan because it'll create a new urban hot spot in Queens (With the HQ/stadium will come bars, restaurants, etc.)

or

Option B - The city only gives Amazon a small piece of land in which to build on, says stick to this and these are the areas where the adorable housing goes and calls it a day. This option i highly doubt will have any effect on NYCFC stadium efforts.

Funny, because I'd love a 40+ supporters group!

I love to walk through adorable housing neighborhoods, especially during the holidays.

They have to be adorable otherwise no one would live there. Think The Shire from LOTR.

Alexa actually knows when and where the stadium will be, nobody has asked her yet though.
