Just responded in the other thread -- sure looks that way. Definitely stalled. Pity.
I'm surprised they had anything to do with Willets Point, though. I was under the impression the stadium at York College was supposed to be their permanent home. At 7,000 seats, it would have been the right size.
Got anything on that mgarbowski? They hopefully told you something for your 50 bucks.
I wasn't one of those who put down a deposit. I do remember that York was always temporary and Willet sther long term plan. Don't have a link for that handy though.
For those who don't remember or never noticed (or never cared), my signature is a reference to my first enthusiasm for, then turn away from QBFC. I guess now maybe it's been long enough to move to a new signature.
Sorry, misread that scrolling through. I thought they got you for $50 too.
What a shame. I'd like to follow the USL but it's a waste if there's no New York team.
The Capital District has a couple places where a properly sized stadium could go, but I have no idea if anyone is even thinking about it. Nothing in the local news. Albany wouldn't be a bad location, though.
I’m the $ man here. Or the sucker who gave his $ to them. In the QBFC thread I realized I’m getting emails. It looks like the rumors of their death have been greatly exaggerated.
Didn't know the land was owned by or to be used for Queensboro FC (which is now defunct)...
OFFSIDE REMARKS: Are we getting closer to the finish line on a NYCFC stadium? - Front Row Soccer
An announcement for soccer-specific stadium for New York City FC just might closer than we think.www.frontrowsoccer.com
wow interesting. I know they wanted to play "select" games in citi field. but didnt know they had dibs on the land. I know at the time bronx was the priority. i guess local politicians gave them first dibs on it?
i could of sworn i read the long term location was the factory next to york college. ( i think nycfc even looked at that location briefly in like 2017 ish).
Found something. The Field of Schemes guy who doesn't like any stadium deals anywhere at any time wrote about the potential Willets Point site re QBFC.
That crazy idea to put a minor-league soccer stadium next to the Mets park is probably just a crazy idea
Back when news broke last month of a possible USL franchise called Queensboro F.C. building (or having built for it, or god knows what) a 25,000-seat minor league soccer stadium next door to the New York Mets' ballpark, on a plot of land originally cleared for affordable housing, I promised a...

Inside the Queensboro FC lease: How USL team is getting to build a soccer stadium on a public college campus
Back in April, I reported on the announcement by the Queensboro F.C. USL team of an agreement with the City University of New York to begin work this summer on a 7,500-stadium on York College's campus in Jamaica, Queens. I immediately asked York College for a copy of the lease, and was told I...

My disdain for the Field of Schemes site is odd because he and I probably agree on 80-90% of stadium deals which are giveaways to teams and leagues who don't need or deserve it, but he just refuses to ever make distinctions and his inflexible dogmatism pisses me off.

He was also against the York College deal, which IMO was a pretty good deal for everyone if it actually happened, and even the comments on his page mostly agree with that.That crazy idea to put a minor-league soccer stadium next to the Mets park is probably just a crazy idea

alright then. then it must of been twitter or reddit chatter that mentioned that old factory location.
now im curious as what nycfc "negotiated" with Queensboro to get priority to the land, since the team is defunct.
In the smoldering ruins of the auto shops and the $50 deposits of QBFC fans which seem to have been set on fire.
Some of us are suffocating in it. You just can't see it from your current location. But try to sit tight for another couple of days....
It was technically a $25 deposit. I just put down for 2 seats.
I actually was aware of that, but the rhythm of $50 worked so much better than $25. Everything must serve the joke.
That part of it doesn't make any sense. Maybe QBFC had some sort of agreement that wasn't quite in place yet for a stadium there, but I'm struggling to see how NYCFC would need to work with QBFC to "secure the land".Didn't know the land was owned by or to be used for Queensboro FC (which is now defunct)...

He’s right or he’s wrong.
