Agreed. They definitely won't build there, but there is a contingent of supporters that should have their questions & concerns addressed. Granted, there isn't much that can be done since short of building across the Verezano bridge, so they'll all be taking the ferry to every game. But good PR is good PR and we have a couple of players that never see the field and need to make public appearances or they'll soon be on milk cartons.The team has not and will not consider Staten Island. That's Gospel (i.e. not conjecture on my part).

Why doesn't Harrison in the meantime just rename the stadium to a generic name? Is there a benefit to the city to keep the RBA name now?
12 hours of FUN!!!!I'd rather have Etihad cable cars. It's fun going to Roosevelt Island.
Ok Bodhi.... If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.That's why I like the regular lifts. They usually run lower down to the ground. Worst case scenario, I can strap my board on and jump off.
Well Stu I'll tell you, surfing's not a sport, it's a way of life, it's no hobby. It's a way of looking at that wave and saying, "Hey bud, let's party!"Ok Bodhi.... If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
So anybody can just walk up each day and play on the courts? Surely not in the main arenas???
The same could be said for a future soccer stadium - the public can't use the stadium, but a majority of practice fields could be set aside for parks permit play.
We're staying on the topic de jour....Geez guys, try to stay on topic.
wait...there's a topic?We're staying on the topic de jour....
We're staying on the topic de jour....
You're reminded of the 7-1 shellacking?When you see updates in the stadium thread but realize it's off-topic...
I hope you're quoting Patrick Swayze Bodhi and not Edgar Arellano Bohdi!!!!!!Ok Bodhi.... If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
A great article about City going global with particular emphasis about NYCFC. Please pardon the author calling it the MLS, saying we're top of the MLS, and that we'll win another MLS Cup (let's get our first, first).
The last quote from Marty Edelman, board member of Man City and NYCFC:
'So the deputy mayor and one of her staff were coming to London anyway, and I took them up to Manchester and gave them the royal tour. They saw the academy, the school, the president of the University of Manchester came to lunch and told us what we were doing with them, Manchester City Council came, too. At the end, they looked at me. "OK, Marty," they said. "You win".'
So we took NYC politicians to Manchester? Can someone look into the city's travel logs?
There are two female deputy mayors, and one of them seems to fit the bill with regard to her jurisdiction:'So the deputy mayor and one of her staff were coming to London anyway, and I took them up to Manchester and gave them the royal tour.
