Jon Patricof Named New President Of New York City FC

They were slightly surprised but not shocked at my simple declarative statement "everyone hates the food." I think they know but not the extent.

I haven't heard this. What's so bad about it? I don't eat in there that much. I generally eat a hot dog or two at The Dugout so if the food is worse than that then I will say a prayer for you all.

I'm not really the most informed or opinionated on this, but the consensus is YS is overall a real miss on food. Other venues have broadened the menu with more of the fast fresh and quirky options, and the YS beer selection is weak. Prices are also high even by NY sports venue standards. Or so I understand. I don't get out much to those other places. But that's the consensus, and I was happy to pass it on.

If that guy is spending his days indexing the stadium thread then I'm depressed.

He's the one who keeps posting just before the two weeks of silence, in order to ensure that no news needs to be announced.

But yeah, really cool update. I'd forgotten that you had that original chat with Patricof, but the stories like this that slip every few months are always a real boon for the times when you need a bit of reassurance that things are happening. I'm curious if you discussed the training facility at all though. Any talk of whether it's a permanent senior team facility, can be expanded, will be used for academy training etc? Or any mention of an NYCFC 2?

They showed me the scale model sitting in the reception area. Patricof did say it was expandable. Didn't really cover the rest.
 
One person exclusively working on the stadium. Hopefully that individual is indexing the Stadium Thread.

I can't imagine doing that job. Your entire role is regarding the stadium. The only thing you do is about a stadium.
Maybe that's why nothing has been announced recently.....that person has job security while we still don't have a stadium.

What are they going to do once we do have a stadium???

Start preparing to build a new one. They might just about be able to source some new land for it by the time the first one they built has been rendered completely functionally obsolete and outdated.

Solid point. Just like Battery Park City is built on dirt excavated from the original WTC's. We build a stadium, but excavate enough to build new land to eventually build a newer bigger stadium.
 
That post is almost a year and a half old. Just an FYI.
