Bravo : this must be the true mentality of all the NYCFC fans !!!
You're right, the company that owns the garages is a mess, but they are a few garages there. The one I use seems to always be full, so I guess if they remove one of them to build the stadium, it would solve the financial issues of the garage company.
San Paolo is a dump. Forza Napoli!
I
heard they were building a new stadium. The problem with Napoli is you can't park without being shaken down.
I thought a couple of the parking garages were entering bankruptcy. If not, close to it.
Someone mentioned above, very astutely, that there will be a financial component to building the stadium on one of the parking sites. If you can bail out the bondholders some on those garages, it's a win for them

Something that has not been mentioned above is that if the CFG use the blueprint of the Etihad (Man City) the owners have shown great social responsibility in the planning of the stadium.
Ok the actual stadium was built by the City of Manchester prior to the arrival of The ADUG.
But since then the ADUG and subsequently the CFG have worked WITH the City council, upgrading the local area, adding much needed facilities and creating jobs.
One of the projects was the tram line (similar to railway) to the Etihad, and access route upgrades.
They are also involved in building social housing etc etc.
I am sure that the same ethos will carry into New York, and you will have the stadium built in a regeneration area, with the club working with the City to ensure that the community is taken care of in the project, and subsequently take pride in the facility.

As much I would love this since I could walk there I'm not sure it's the best place for a stadium, yes the highway is right there as well as the Q25, Q20a, Q76 it still feels a bit out of the way mass transit wise. Also I think they have that land slated for something elseI'm still hoping that the stadium gets built in Queens. There is a huge empty piece of land in College Point that could fit a stadium and parking. No subway stop, but you can take the 7 to Main St. and take a bus. Super easy to get to by car.
agreed, the location really should have subway access otherwise what is the point, this location is the same as Yonkers
It's shame the Flushing-meadows location didn't work out. Can the Wilpons just go away?
Sounds like a whole lot of nothing, hopefully before next year we will know something.
I agree that the subway needs to be right by the stadium, but I think you're wrong is stating that no one will go to games if it's not right there. The train is a mile away from RB stadium, and they average 19k+ attendance. I'd rather have a stadium in NYC and not have a subway stop right there, then have a stadium outside of NYC.
