My preference is the Bronx site. And the longer we stay at Yankee Stadium, the more the team becomes part of that community.

I still think the best spot would be by Citi Field because there is a ton of space there.

I'm still banking on a Central Park stadium. I mean if Kreis is crazy enough to start Grabavoy over Mix and Poku, anything is possible in this city.

Hey, there's an art museum and a zoo in the park, why not a stadium too? I like it!

 

[Seth]

Hey, look, plenty of room!

The great lawn is the idea size but the 65th fields make more sense as the don't have any outfield space.

We're on page 145 of a news thread with no news. What'd you expect?

We should build ON TOP of the Zoo.

Probably the best bet for a stadium would be to put it in one of the corners, right? Get it out of the way and keep most of the rest of the Park intact.

Drain the reservoir, put in a domed stadium, cover it with grass, and you have playing fields and public space - AND - a stadium.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

North woods. Or any woods for that matter. But that's where the bums jerk off, you say?

Need I remind you who took the pitch on Saturday? Ladies and gentlemen, your New York City Football Club starting eleven!

 

[BlueWarrior]

wonder what the stadium will be called as well.

 

[NYCFCfan]

Anyone know what's around 16th street between Avenue C and the FDR Drive?

Yes I'm bored and looking at Google maps.

Pretty sure it's all Con Ed from 15th to 18th between C and the river, plus some park land.

We've discussed this too. It seems all the conversations are repeating themselves. It's going to be Etihad Stadium. It will be nicknamed the Sheikh Shack. It can't be called City Field or Stadium because of Citi Field.

Not impossible. I had a great conversation over the weekend about Pier 40 and other possible locations.

It will be nicknamed the Sheikh Shack.

I'd be strangely okay with this.

 

[Mikeylito]

Not impossible.

Such a tease.
Honestly, I couldn't care less where within the five boroughs the Etihad could be. I wouldn't mind ... everybody else would... if it were on Governors Island. The real issue is how close is the club to making a siting announcement and giving a timeframe for its opening?

Don't be a tease. It's so unattractive.

 

[roxfontaine]

Not trying to be a tease. Just saying it isn't impossible. It hasn't happened to this point because there is so much money involved in restoring the pilings under the pier and then building a modern stadium on top of that. It's a eternity of money to do it. Nobody has done it yet because it hasn't been worth the investment long term. So it's not impossible, there just has to be some compromise on both sides to make it happen.
