I don't think people want us talking about this here but Washington Heights and Inwood aren't that gentrified yet and at least it's not as bad as Brooklyn.
Yeah, these forums have really fallen apart with this losing streak. Bunch of idiots supporting this team it seems. It was nice when they were all confined to facebook and twitter, but that crap has found it's way onto here.
not that simple. zoning and community board approval and I would anticipate significant resistance in the community. Columbia had to increase the available hours of their facilities to the community and build public access river walk up here when they added their most recent building
I was under impression that it was still a private area and columbia could do as they please since its not really expanding i think just bringing that stadium down and then build a new in the exact same place. but you are correct the red tape will probably make it difficult, just like anything in this city.
yeah just owning the land doesn't allow you to build whatever you want. Up ther might have an easier time getting what they want through
you might be right. but the overflow you get from a Major League soccer team with 17 home dates added to the existing college football schedule won't go through without a fight
If anyone is up for a 'test run' at the possible location, I'll be attedning the NYRBII game there on May 17th at 7pm vs Charleston Battery. Happy to meet for a pint and introduce you to one of the nearby establishments. Come On, Battery!
i think the football team uses the stadium 6 times or so per season. i dont know if they use it for other things like track or stuff like that during the year.
Oh hey what's going on with this thread...sees posts about who should have the right to vote...accusations of racism...slowly backs out of thread...
Quickly backing out is probably the better option......
It's used for 5-6 football games, women's lacrosse and field hockey and track events. And the track is open to the public every evening M-F
Liar. Don't act for a minute like you'll be happy just popping your head in for a minute. Once youre inside, you'll keep poking around until it's finished.
What? Since when did model minority Asians move up the table? 
Columbia wouldn't use public funds right? I'm guessing since they're a private school they'd pay out of pocket (alumni donations and tuition) in addition tomfunds from CFG's coffers?
