I emailed Pernetti about a lease/rebuild deal months ago, it's perfect....and i live across the street LOL
the club would NEVER allow football to be played in a sss...this isn't seattle we don't have to share

For an MLS team to succeed, you need that luxury suite revenue ... and you've got to have a stadium that cuts the team in on that cash, or gives them 100% outright. That's why the 25,000-30,000-seater is needed. Hopefully in the Bronx. College facilities are woefully inadequate in lux box revenue.
Always possible but that would Kill the whole NYC thing, plus we'd never hear the end of it from Red Bulls fans. Yonkers might as well be Harrison
Won't they have pave over a few roads?Here is your stadium location:

Completely agree on that location. Bronx wants the stadium bad, and you've got the rails right there. Parking is a whole other situation.
Has anyone heard if the Metro North will provide "Yankee Express" trains on game days?
It was brought up during a Q&A a few months back and the club said that if it was important us l, they would look into it.
Perhaps Third Rail should start pressing the issue again?
the club has made it clear they are 100% committed to building a sss within the 5 boroughs....
I don't know about that, the Bronx bro president suddenly turned cool to the idea and I don't hear anyone else from the Bronx rah rah-ing for a stadium.
Disagree. Again, if you look at a map, you could build a stadium that straddled Yonkers and the Bronx.
The comparison to Harrison isn't a fair one. A better comparison would be saying you were building a stadium in Manhattan and instead you built it in the South Bronx.
I don't see residents in Riverdale going for a stadium nearby, and no one appears to be even talking about building a stadium straddling the border. Moreover the MLS and NYCFC have put a great deal of prestige on the fact that the team will be in NYC, that having the team in Yonkers would be a loss of face for them.
Anything past the Bronx for me is Upstate....past Yonkers is Canada. Yonkers is too far away just like RBA is now. NYC or bust!
Would love to see the Piers used on either the Hudson or East River, but that discussion is already out there.

Hahahahaha!
Based on pernettis interview with EOS, I think the Bronx is where the stadium will be located. He said that they are in talks wiht another university in westchester regarding a training facility, that tells me the stadium will be in the bronx. Training in westchester wouldnt make sense for a stadium in queens or BK and manhattan seems to be out anyway. As far as the training facility, my money is on Pace, the only other schools in westchester are suny purchase and WCC. Purchase seems like a long shot due to the PETA group. My money is on PACE, they have a piece of their campus in Briarcliff that they have been trying to sell for some time.
