I am not a generally negative guy. The Halal Guys at YS in April were slinging some really bad food. Not remotely their normal quality.
Stadium Discussion

If NYCFC went crazy and decided to build one in Staten Island, on site of Richmond County ballpark is, is it plausible?
Not happening ever, I know, but asking for fun.

Richmond County Ballpark is still in use, being used by the Atlantic League team there now.
building in staten island is marginally better than building in NJ and basically has the only advantage that it is "within city limits". arguably, getting to staten island would be much more of a hassle if you didn't have a car... and maybe even with a car depending on traffic.
anything they build needs to be public transit accessible and the staten island ferry isn't gonna cut it.
You have to get to the ferry before you can take it.
Also each ferry apparently holds about 5,000 people, so it would take several ferries just to get everyone who was at the stadium out, and there'd be tons of people who didn't go to the game taking it as well. The transportation capacity just isn't there, even if we're generous and say half the fans drive (which they wouldn't).
It would be pretty fucking epic that the “March to the stadium” would occur on a ferry. Just imagine the drums and singing on there would be so cool.
But obviously as you guys pointed out, logistically a non starter
But please, dear lord, no trumpets.
They’re going to announce you can get a mini mls cup with purchase of frozen daiquiri and chicken bucket
Figured it was stadium, player signing, or daiquiri related.
Glad they picked daiquiri. It was my top priority too.
DP? no way you have something stadium related so quick, unless they are going to say "we have selected spot X" to start process of approval.
It's gotta be a DP signing. No way it's gonna be a stadium, if there's no shred of talk anywhere else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm continuing to dig, and have several leads on a few locations. I'm gonna leave it at that for the moment.SoupInNYC is it queens?
