Stadium Discussion

[Ulrich]

No idea if it's technically feasible, but as far as Brooklyn options go, Pier 5 would be great as far as accessibility.

Pier 5 will never be converted - it is a community park asset.

I wrote a while back pontificating the possibility of CFG buying/leasing 1-2 piers at the adjacent NYNJ Port Authority Container Terminal and building there as it has easy access to the BQE, nearby subways, and a mile from the Atlantic Terminal. This would be a more likely option than taking highly used park space from the Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Fair enough. Someone just mentioned Pier 5 a few pages back before it was determined the skyline in the rendering was actually Houston.

Yeah that was me. I fell victim to the NYCFC propaganda machine.

I think there should be a ouroboros stickied on top of this thread

Best solution has to be teaming up with Columbia and building it in Manhattan.

Two birds, one stone.

That would probably work out very well for Columbia because if they're going to build an unnecessary second stadium, they might as well split it with someone so it's not a complete waste.

As seen on Twitter, the Head of the Populous NYC Branch just retweeted the EoS article on NYCFC's stadium survey/Yankee credit increase, and is also following NYCFC on twitter.

Easy access to the BQE ain't saying much. Like saying you got tickets to paint-drying theater.... who wants that?

So you're guaranteeing an announcement, with full designs, and a press conference where Mayor De Blasio pledges his full support (while trying to avoid killing a rodent) by the end of the month. Right?

Sounds like a bullet-proof confirmation to me.

Hunters Point Queens, opposite 34th St. Manhattan. 7 Train, LIRR, bars, amazing view. No idea if it's just a fantasy.

No. I live a quarter mile from that site. Condos are going up there.

The link will take you to the location on Google Maps. I thought it'd generate a preview though, which I admit would have helped.

That's the location on google maps.
I'm wondering if anyone has more info Deron wouldn't share anything else on FB about who owns the property and he's suggesting it's owned by Yankees/CFG by his comment.

As far as I know that land is part of Hunters Point South. Info on this page:

There's a link to a PDF there with a brochure about it. Here's the PDF link:
