There's no way that NYCFC would build a stadium in the early 20th century style. The square grounds may be well-liked and create good atmosphere but they are hopelessly outdated in other aspects, such as maximum capacity and the concourse layout under the stands. Realistically, bowl stadiums are the accepted standard these days and a bowl is what will be built.
It's like classic cars, really. Loads of people love the classics - E-type Jaguars, the old Porsche Carreras, the classic Yank Tank Chevys and so on - but seriously, could you ever picture one of those companies throwing away modern designs to start putting those models back on the showrooms floors as their actual sale models? Would never happen, they are a thing of the past and will stay that way.
