How much did I as a taxpayer pay for said stadium renderings?
Well... I'm footing some of it. And you're footing some of it.
So by my back of the napkin calculations, you and I are only on the hook for a max of $300M each. Anyone else in on this?
Thanks for taking care of this for us. For all of us.
I paid $9 in tolls driving through New York last week, so your each down to $299,999,995.50 now

“The bar and restaurant will also open during non-baseball events like NYCFC matches and concerts at Citi Field in 2023.”

It's the public scoping meeting (next Tuesday, 4/4) where the local community can bring up potential concerns or items that would need to be included within the Environmental Impact Statement to demonstrate that those items aren't actually concerned or they will be mitigated in xyz fashion.
This isn't anything where folks show they are for or against the project, but moreso what all needs to be considered if the developers build what they said they are going to build.
I think it will be an interesting meeting, but really nothing to much of note about it. I'll be attending and probably tweeting some stuff out that may be interesting, but likely won't be anything significant or super news-worthy.
I’ve been pushing for this in our new stadium for years.

We Need To Bring Back Troughs In Men's Bathrooms
So I posted this last night on twitter and it sprouted a healthy debate. We opened our country concept, The Farm, in St. Pete in the fall and it's awesome. Except for the bathrooms. It's a nightmare. ...
I see nothing remotely remarkable there. I see a plaza, some grass, the concrete underside of some tiered seats, topped by a railing that looks like it hasn't been painted in 40 years. I mean, I wish our stadium were done, but there's nothing ridiculously cool in that photo. It's a stadium.
What am I missing?
Might be bc he mentions tailgates and dog shows? Idk
He also says they had great atmosphere inside, which I do not doubt. But that photo and the claim do not match up.
I also noted the references to tailgates and dog shows. One is near universal, the other is not really what I consider a mark of a great stadium. But like you, I don't know what else he means. And I don't dispute the stadium is great. It might be. But I see no evidence.

Looks great watching on tv - very premier league like for sure
It really does. But that's more the fans than the stadium.
Yeah that’s true. Hopefully we can replicate an atmosphere like that here as well.
This is kind of getting dragged on Twitter rn this is for phase 1 only which I believe is the housing?? I always forget what is first

Yeah looks like it's part of the apartments phase.
Yeah, this tweet is incorrect.
Phase 1 is some senior housing and the school.
Phase 2 is still under environmental remediation and construction cannot begin until after ULURP is completed which is expected in 2024 (and expected to begin this fall)
