Stadium Discussion
- Thread starter Gene
- Start date
There's very little difference between a person from Queens and person from say.. Harrison, NJ.
The Jets own half of MetLife stadium, so can we please stop the nonsensical discussion that they would somehow leave. Why does this keep coming up?
You are asking why the NFL wouldn't want to build a fan base in a country that speaks English and has proven to be sports mad?
Why wouldn't they?
The Monarchs did not do well (believe it or not, I used to work for the NFL and attended three World Bowls), but NFL Europe is irrelevant, as it was minor league. It's like saying a Premier League team wouldn't do well because people didn't go to see Chelsea's U18 team play.
why not Canada then, im sure they have many NFL fans even with their CFL considering that the CFL ends i think in october? late september?
i just dont see why go thru all the trouble of travel and logistics for the team ( hosting and traveling) when i still feel maybe rugby is more popular in the country, though london may be the exception.
The NFL and CFL maintain a mutually beneficial relationship and choose not to compete with one another. The CFL's reason for this are obviously that it would lose. The NFL's reason's are less obvious, but it does use the CFL to some extent as a player development source (I believe there is an agreement between the 2 leagues setting forth the terms under which the NFL can sign CFL players). Some speculate that the NFL sees the CFL as a buffer against a new hypothetical football league that would try to compete against the NFL and maybe use Canadian teams as part of its strategy. That's why the NFL doesn't look to expand in Canada and is happy to just have Canadian fans who buy NFL gear.
I'm taking real estate finance this semester. I fought I would learn the ins and outs of how to get us a stadium. Unfortunately, that's not covered in this course.
You should have taken "The Politics of Real Estate."
The Bills play games in Toronto and are frequently rumored to be moving there. Other than Toronto, Canada doesn't really have a city that could support an NFL team. Either too small, too French or too Vancouver.
Red bulls, Jets, Giants all three are Jersey teams no matter how anyone wants to narrate it. You can let it slide for the old timers who actually saw them play in NY but after a while, that's done. Just like a person who leaves and spends more time living elsewhere.
Anyway, NYCFC has to stay in NY no matter what.

Love to hear the explanation on this gem of a quote.
My son what?
Maybe east queens (whitestone, bayside, little neck, glendale etc)
But not ALL of queens. Look at LIC or Jamaica or College Point
I have no idea what it means. I wrote the post forgetting about Vancouver as a large city and threw that in at the end!
