You left out pigeon urea.
But then you would do that, wouldn't you.
So like why isn’t this forum hyped right now after that Athletic article? Usually the forum explodes over any somewhat substantial stadium news. Is it just stadium news fatigue at this point?
What new info was in the article that we didn't already know? Did I miss something? 4.5 f-ing years from the RFP is accepted by ESD! We don't even know when they're going to make an announcement. There's literally nothing to get excited about at this point.
Now if ESD announced the RFP with a deadline for submission and a timeline for an announcement, then maybe I'd have some positive reaction. But without that, the article is just straight up regurgitation of the leaked info from a month ago.
I feel Orlando failed with theirs because it's purple and white... not intimidating colors by any means at all. Honestly, slightly childish looking come to think of it. St. Pauli's is a dark, blackened tunnel with red writing, as if pirates are about to plunder ye soul. Dark, brooding, and well done. Orlando's idea is fine, but the execution of it... is laughable.
Just foreshadowing, but light blue isn't a scary color exactly. Maybe black and orange? That might be too Halloween-esque though. The idea is awesome, but our colorway doesn't help anything.
Because those proposals that "The Athletic was able to obtain" were posted in this thread weeks ago.
Leave it to Araos to repost what wasn't on here a month ago and make you pay for it a month later.
I won't pay for The Athletic until there's a better writer than Araos for NYCFC. Can't wait for another pigeon Nazi flag article that isn't retracted or an apology issued, but this time you have to pay for it.
I'm not sure I see how this is intimidating.... looks a lot like the entrance to many 90's/euro techno clubs and/or dive bars, and if anything, even being the visiting team, I'd be pretty pumped walking through that and having the doors open onto the massive field. Just gotta keep playing the music clips through their heads that they were listening too back in the locker room, and it turns a home field nuance into something most players can probably identify with from their nightlife.give me a visitor tunnel like FC St Pauli's
Fixed it.
He literally spent a month reading insightful comments from the forums, that dissect & break down the submissions, so as to frame his article.
He is the biggest hack. I have no issue with non-fans writing about the team so as to give a more neutral perspective, but his is always slanted negatively and he regurgitates ideas cribbed from the forums.
We should put an Athletic-style paywall on the Stadium Thread.
Yeah, and scary isn't really our / CFG's vision for domination. It's more about optimism, inclusivity and the long play. Tribalism through self-love vs. other-hate.
Shitposts are free. Serious stuff is locked.
The roster for the main Athletic Soccer page that they announced yesterday is one of the best groups of soccer writers I've seen in one place, though. I'll probably break down and subscribe.
Based on how likes are distributed I'd say this business model should be the other way around.
Considering most players now are born in or near the 90's, I feel there aren't too many 3 or 4 year old kids hitting up the 90's techno or dive bar scene. But I do get that it isn't the most intimidating thing. Just something different, and obviously a player isn't going to shit their pants reading words painted on a wall. Maybe it psychologically distracts them from the task at hand for a second, reading daring sea shanties, or what looks like Comic Sans font telling you to die and the like?
