Certainly, but the latter portion of your statement is probably 99% of the reason they opted to sell a portion of the company to the Chinese investors.

Maybe CFG makes a deal with a city to extend the 7 Train to the sight.
Maybe they can work with CT and MA and get Metro North coming right up to Springfield, MA! We have been working to get more rail service up here!
Moderator. The Yankee LoC counts as news. Please change thread name to Stadium Discussion (1/25/16).
Let's use the naming system. If someone hadn't mentioned stadium news in another thread I'd never have known something actually happened over here besides the usual political banter.

extend or completely divert it north? it would have to be a new track and train #.
I would hate the sight of overhead tracks, but it would be nice to have some more transit options in the area.
It could be a spur from Willets Point, and there might be enough room for a couple of tracks on the ground next to the Whitestone. Could still be the 7 train, just with a different destination. They already do that with a few lines already. As always though, the question would be who pays for it.

In a letter to the editors of Crain’s, Michael J Gill, one of the founders of the South Bronx Overall Economic Corporation and former chairman of the little loved SoBro, is proposing that the Yankees owner Hank Steinbrenner, along with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr, consider moving the legendary Madison Square Garden to The Bronx.

They just renovated it, and why would they leave Manhattan?
Because, as Gill pointed out in his letter, their special operating permit expires in 2023 and unless it's extended again, they have to move. For more background: NYT: Madison Square Garden Is Told to Move (7/24/2013)
Ha! I brought this up back on page #200 and everybody said it was crazy talk (both that the Garden would move and that the site *could* be suitable for a stadium)...... per the recently linked articles, it seems like a lot of people with more at stake in the city than me are also trying to lay groundwork for the move.
same thing thing was said when the first columbia report came out last year. realistically anyone spot will have opposition.
No worries at all! My amusement is that the NYC movers/shakers are talking about a MSG relocation so it's not simply interweb forum banter at play.

Moving MSG away from its current location will NEVER EVER happen.
I still don't know why Pier 40 can't work. It generates 6/m per year for Hudson River Park...but the thing is deteriorating and the trust doesn't want to pay for it...so it will continue to rot and there will be no revenue. Chelsea Pier had opposition, but now its a gold mine for the city. The revenue possibilities for an open air stadium at Pier 40 is astronomical and far exceeds any investment. The site as it stands is 15 acres...RBA for comparison is on a 12.5 acre footprint. It is a win-win for all in my opinion.
**plus our season tickets will become very very valuable.

This is what I have been saying. And forget Chelsea Piers, I mentioned this a few pages earlier: If this monstrosity can be approved, why can't a stadium a little bit South? http://ny.curbed.com/places/pier-57. With our new President, this may finally come to fruition.
