Maybe we should have partnered up with them. We could be the NYC Saints and try to lure Kaka away from Orlando.

do you really think it's wise to knock the Yankees for attendance? as if first pitch is a fair representation on a wet muggy night. Their attendance is fine and when it comes to pro sports TV ratings is king, and you wouldn't want to compare the Yankees tv ratings to NYCFC.

Kaka may be a saint, but he's a member of a catholic congregation, not the Catholic church. Surprisingly, I would say based on his being a Brazilian, he's an evangelical protestant, as are most of the current extremely religious Brazilian players (Luiz and Thiago for sure).
Yes, I just
Falastur -ed your ass.

We Catholics are losing to the evangelical Christians in South America.
Well, you don't expect him to bow to a Pope that roots for Argentina do you?
so the world clearly only consists of the US of A
Queens only has two sites that would be acceptable to a lot of people:
Flushing Meadows
(Easy access to 7 Train, LIRR, Grand Central, Long Island Express Way & Van Wyck)
Sunny side yards
(Easy access to 7, E, M, R, N, G & Q trains, LIRR, Long Island Expressway, countless bus lines & amazing views of Manhattan)
I've been saying for a long time that Sunnyside Yards makes the most sense. There would be enough room for a stadium, parking, park space and low-income/affordable housing to entice DeBlasio to sign off on it.
I thought Sunnyside Yards redevelopment was already decided. Or am I dead wrong about that?
If that's an option, that would be great. I still like Broadway Junction too. These two sites are 10 year projects though, easy.

Nothing set in stone yet. One of the major issues according to Cuomo is population density. A stadium and park space would be a nice alternative to apartment buildings...

I would be amazed if, having kicked up a fuss about a housing project there, the residents then OKed a stadium.
Acceptable to a lot of people doesn't really matter. It is where they can build. Easiest place is Aqueduct.
