I’m assuming the answer is “that site is not actively being worked on until the EDS puts out its RFP at which point we will review and join a proposal if it’s the right deal for our club and fans” which would have been a significantly better answer. It’s a statement he could’ve just made last week too.

This limits the conversation in an unproductive way, though. It may be fun for forum lulz to say that DeBlasio will only approve the stadium if CFG throws all bankers in the gulag, but ignores that there are plenty of pro-business things CFC could include in any proposal that would increase his support.
I worry for the future of this country.
You might be right. But they might be right too. Maybe some are taking too simple a view of DiBlasio in this based on their past observations. But I’m not sure you can blame them for it either. DiBlasio hasn’t exactly said or done much to make people think otherwise.
He's right. The site isn't active. It's not active until the State says it is.
Have you seen the present?
Update on the netting in today's NY Times. It states that the previous arrangement, in which the new netting was held up by poles, has been changed. Now, the netting is held by cables and the poles are gone.
As you can see in the quote above, the poles were unpopular with fans, who generally found that it was the poles and not the netting that created issues with watching the game. It seems that Hal Steinbrenner was of the same opinion, so things have changed. No word on whether the new netting can come down for soccer.

For the first time in NYCFC history this season, a fan was injured during warm ups when a ball was sent into the stands. I don't know which side of the field it was on. But if they keep the netting up, it would extend down the first base sideline where the away team warms up.
Though, errant soccer balls aren't as a concern as a baseball.
If the new netting was with just cables were up on Sunday like I think they were, I doubt they will come down for soccer. They had lots of cables going in a complicated number of directions, seems challenging to remove and replace so many times.
I think it was because they didn't have pigeons on top.
i was just informed, 2 months into the season, that my seats will now be obstructed by protective netting:
Yankee Stadium has made additional adjustments to the protective netting that was in place at our match on March 17th by sections 022-025 and 015A-017A. It has now been extended to include sections 026- 029 and 011- 014B.
That’s not good given my seats behind the goal, as this means I will frequently be looking through 2 nets.
Nice that they send it after hours on Friday so there’s nobody to talk to about it!

Be careful what you say about removing the Poles...
Weird that they reference what was there at the March 17th game, and not the more recent RSL game in April.
This is not a recommendation, just FYI. I very much doubt it would shed much if any light on our concerns:
The Redevelopment of Queens New York: Expansive Development and Infrastructure Projects,Part Two
Discussion: Expansive Development and Infrastructure Projects, in formation
Hunters Point South
Willets Point Development
Sunnyside Yard
Hunters Point South
Hunters Point South is a proposed mixed use, affordable housing development situated on approximately 30 acres of prime waterfront property in Long Island City, Queens. Up to 5,000 housing units, 60 percent of which will be affordable to low to moderate income families. The project had attracted over 2 billion dollars from private investors in 2017.The project will be the largest of its kind in New York City since the 1970s, according to Curbed.
Willets Point Development
Willets Point, a 62 acre development site, will become New York City's next great neighborhood, according to NYCEDC. The full buildout includes more than 3,000 additional housing units, of which over 1,100 will be affordable, additional community facilities, a public school, office space, a convention center, parking, and a minimum of 8 more acres of public open space.This redevelopment will be a major engine for economic growth for New York City and serve as a unique opportunity for the City to incorporate sustainability goals from the ground up. Most of Willets Point lies within the 100 year floodplain, necessitating a significant increase in grade.The redevelopment approach will encompass site cleanup, planning and design, infrastructure construction, and building construction.
Sunnyside Yard, pending.
The Sunnyside Yard project will be the decking over active rail and related facilities which sits on approximately 180 acres of western Queens. Sunnyside Yard is one of the busiest rail yards in the country and a key train storage yard and maintenance hub for the Amtrak Northeast Corridor. It also serves New Jersey Transit and Long Island Rail Road, which is developing storage tracks and maintenance facilities there as part of its East Side Access Project. With Amtrak and MTA currently undertaking critical capital investments in its rail infrastructure, this is a unique moment for the City to coordinate long term planning for the future of the Yard.

OT from our own stadium plans but very weird to see Suffolk want to build an arena in Ronkonkoma without a pro franchise. Seems like a great location for a 5k minor league soccer stadium though.
