Nothing to do with ours, but this is beyond cool for a small club to pull off.


"This building is iconic, it could be a tourist attraction," Councillor Miranda Clifton said of the new timber stadium.

"At the moment we are known for our waste incinerator.”

So you don’t hire a new guy to sell luxury boxes you don’t have and new commercial opportunities unless you have a stadium with luxury boxes and commercial opportunities. Right?
We’re 3-4 years out *at best* for a stadium. Are companies really going to be buying luxury boxes this far out? Wouldn’t most boxes get sold the year before the stadium opens - why sign a lease so far out???

Unless luxury boxes owners at Yankees Stadium are asking to get out of paying for the NYCFC so NYCFC now has to sell those boxes for their home games

Absolutely. Charlotte was just announced and they have a bunch of their luxury boxes taken -- granted, that could be for the temp field -- but I'm guessing they'll want to fill up long before the stadium is built.

Yankee Stadium luxury boxes are sold on an individual team basis, unlike Madison Square Garden where boxes are sold for the entire year including all events (though can be shared or split).
Thanks for clarifying that.

Cary Goodman released his follow up article in the Gotham Gazette related to Neighborhood Equity Ownership Plans for new developments (ties it back to the potential soccer stadium development in the Bronx).


The article is well put together and I do enjoy fresh ideas on how to think about how developments impact local communities and how to make them more accountable. I haven't really thought through the logistics of it, how it would work, or weight pros and cons, but its definitely an interesting read.
