Curious, do you guys believe we will get an announcement before or after we hit 1000 pages here?
We placed those bets over 300 pages ago.

If that's all it takes, how come we don't have a stadium yet?

I'm pretty sure the front office has supplied Dante with a lifetime of NYCFC jerseys so that should have sufficed.
Also we let de Blasio meet Pirlo. That should have done it. Probably why we signed Pirlo in the first place.

Amazon Stadium? Chicago developer hopes it's the ticket to HQ2

They would need to buy out Toyota. Not worth it.
Bridgeview did not get the promised development around the stadium and is in alot of debt. I believe the village loses millions of dollars every year on the stadium. Buyout might be in the best interest of both parties.
Yes but will Amazon make enough money back? I'm not really sure how much the buyout is so I'm not sure.
All I am saying is that we should get the city to include our stadium in our Amazon HQ bid.

Sunnyside Yards Amazon HQ + Park and stadium. Why would Amazon need a stadium I have no clue but screw it
I feel like I broke the thread Hopefully the site got some traction from it at least.... Hopefully I can give the full story at some point.
I also heard about land near Atlantic center - are there any options there?

Can't think of any besides all that industrial stuff around the Gowanus Canal.
Atlantic Yards??? That’s interesting.I feel like I broke the thread

Considering Rattner has *never* followed through with the amount of built structures that was in his original plan, there’s probably a fair amount of unused space. No idea if it’s enough for the 10acres the stadium would need.
Just checked- if the two blocks from Atlantic/Dean bounded by Vanderbilt/Carlton are used, with Pacific closed off, then it’s 9.5acres. Granted, this is Googles map and I don’t know when it was last updated, so maybe some building has started on those blocks that’d torpedo a clean slate for a stadium?
Edit- all for naught since Joe pointed out there’s a big building on the corner that doesn’t show on Googles outdated maps

With the way Brooklyn got burned on that site in the recent past, I would guess this is a nonstarter.
Brooklyn got burned, but the damage is done. Those displaced aren’t coming back unless it’s to the below-rate housing Rattner is supposed to build that isn’t happening for a decade or more. I’m not even sure there’s a timetable any longer - it was the biggest smash/grab con game that the city agreed to.
But flatbush Avenue is so nice to walk and shop at these days...
Flatbush between Atlantic and Prospect Park is nice!
Atlantic Ave east of Flatbush is pretty damn sketchy, although it’s trending up albeit with the epicenter of car washes lining the street. A stadium a block from Barclays would make a ton of sense with Atlantic Yards being a massive subway/rail hub. Cars would have a bit of a commute from the BQE and Metro North folks would have the Subway ride down from a Grand Central. NJ is, well, a hike. Since I’m anticipating moving to westchester in the next two years, this isn’t my first choice, but it would be a pretty sweat location for the city population- just about any subway runs near it, either directly or with a minimal walk.
Edit: never mind -
joe just superseded Google Maps.
