And announced attendance numbers are known to be BS.
Show a crowd in an open field and I agree with. Estimate a crowd in a fixed space whose capacity you know — not so much.

strange. the games at YS i attended, i would estimate at least 15-17K. 10k is very low. the stadium would have been extremely sparse.
citi field with its more intimate confines were maybe slightly better attended since it's queens and people like citi field more (maybe?). but by my eye, it looked more than the numbers you estimated. *shrug*
Does this mean we're relocating to Citi Field? Any other theories?
Well we were aware of something happening in July...
I have a feeling it's going to be a player announcement. Some big name DP.
That, or "We aren't gonna play in RBA next year at all" or something like that.
The reasons I don't think it's a DP are that player transfers are absurdly hard to keep under wraps, it'd be weird for a club to set a date to announce a player months in advance, and the "kinda" in the tweet, since the "what everyone thinks" obviously (imo) refers to a stadium. "We aren't gonna play in RBA at all" could be it, but I feel like that's a weird announcement to make at RBA, and I think if we make CCL again (which is looking increasingly likely), we don't have a choice.
i think at the time, Ian himself did even know if they were brining them back, at least on the blue city radio he mentioned this, so it started all these rumors.

Keep searching. He's has had some other non-obvious predictions pan out, like when he said NYCFC was looking at candidates nobody heard of shortly before they hired Ronny. But yeah, he's not so reliable to take his occasional "scoops" as etched in stone (or a brick). And this one is so vague, what's the point even.
tbf i see him as a fan that knows a few people within FO or staff. so he can pick up a few things. not a straight up insider
I would love to have a consistent second home, and with a capacity just big enough to hold the STH which would prob be around 10K. That’s the way to go.
Ichan is really hard to get to if you don’t drive
Getting off the island in a car after an event ain’t no party either.

True. I mean there is a bus that goes direct from Lex and 125. But yeah…
