it's not? what is it if it's not the club anthem?
MLS thinks it is, though it is not official, if that's what you mean:

Serious question - Anyone know why we didn't go for a design that allows for closing the roof (i.e. cold-weather games/bad weather games)? Cost-related? aesthetics-related?
So obviously the scale isn't right because of the size of the venue, but a retractable roof would have substantially increased the cost of Yankee Stadium and Citi Field. We also have a smallish footprint to work with, and the retractable roof has to go somewhere and has to take up space. It's only a 13-acre plot of land, which is pretty small to also have a retractable roof.
That's also a good point. But don't they usually slide into the roof area?
my guess is pure cost. the additional cost for all the material, engineering, and machinery to have a retractable roof probably adds a whole lot to the total cost of the stadium when we really don't need it considering when MLS plays and even if it switches to a fall/winter schedule, it should still be ok here in NY.
Absolutely! To my knowledge that entire area is a flood plain.
I know when Shea Stadium opened up all those years ago they had a flood in the basement and I'm almost positive that area in the park where a stadium was once proposed is also prone to flooding.
That is one of the sticking points for the Athletic’s stadium in Vegas. They also have a 12-14 acres and the former Marlins President David Samson said that was too small for a retractable stadium.
We need a live construction cam
We have some time before interesting things start to happen, but 1,000% this. Hopefully that's something the front office can set up.
Anyone want to set up a less than legal webcam in the 400s at Citi?
was actually having a hopeful thought right now. red bull arena is nearing 20 years old at the moment. it is true that it's still in great condition and has aged tremendously, but it is a reality that the stadium will need major renovations at some point in the near future. i think we're looking at a potentially hilarious universe where the red bulls play some games in our stadium.
My word. I remember that stadium being "60-90 days" from even being announced for like 5 years. Now it's almost 20 years old? Wow I'm getting up there
The guy who has been posting construction pictures on X has had to change his POV because the surrounding apartment buildings have gotten too high to see anything behind them, and the new POV is much less clear.
Didn't know this was a thing. The way I see the Forums is different from others. I keep a light style and there's blue and white. Maybe it's just a personal thing than an admin thing.
I search around and think I changed it.
