Interesting. Didn't even know that got the final greenlight. If that can be approved, it's just a matter of money now. Maybe that's the hold up. We could have bought GAL already...but this is the end game...Pier 40.

I totally agree. The Piers will have to be increased in size a bit - the original proposal had practice fields on the highway side to be used for the community since the stadium would be taking the bulk of the recreation fields inside of the current facility.
It's all about money, it has to be something like a 49-99 year land lease with NYCFC solely responsible for renovation and maintenance of the Pier 40 on top of either a bulk payment upfront, or annual rental payments (or both). It will be a windfall for the city and create a new landmark/tourist attraction. Can't let a few NIMBYs in their $10mm townhouses kill it because their may be heavy foot traffic (which will probably only run down Houston anyway) 25-30 days a year.
The current location is not where the Garden originally was. I think this is the fourth spot it's been in.
That is true and something I mentioned previously. There's nothing sacred about MSG's current location & claim to it except for a soon to be expiring lease.
They're trying. The locals aren't too happy about it.

It could go down to ten dollars, and the Sheikh would still be the richest MLS owner by a stratosphere.

Though I'm sure you can find them in the first few pages of this thread. You know, over 4,000 posts ago...
Oh
My
God!!!!!!
Sign me up for lifetime season tix now!!!! But I do realize that this is only a pier ...errr....pipe dream for now.....
That would suck big time... Damn, we are in a tough situation. Because I assume no one will be happy if they go to Jersey or somewhere in the middle of nowhere (Long Island/Westchester) .... So I Guess Yankee stadium would be a better option at that point

$30 per barrel multiplied times infinity barrels is exactly the same $100 per barrel times by infinity barrels.
Wouldn't a smaller SSS be much quicker to build than any of the recent builds?
I never stated otherwise. I think it can be built in two years. From announcement late 2017/early 2018 to finished sometime in 2020.
But you never know, there's always hiccups and politics that could delay things at any time
No it's not. It's one thing to spend cash flow. It's another to eat into reserves.
