I don't think my info changes this at all. For me it was more a reminder that the prevailing wisdom that was starting to coalesce around the GAL location might just have a little competition.

You only think that because you have a Westchester POV.
A single subway stop from midtown is extraordinary from a public transit standpoint. The driving is the same as Bronx only favoring a different geographic segment.
And the kicker is the view of midtown that would make this stadium a potentially world class site as opposed to just another stadium somewhere if located in the Bronx.
I was in Houston on Wednesday night and drove past their stadium. I had only seen it on TV before (where it looks bland).
It's absolutely beautiful in person. Maybe it's the orange all over the inside, but the architecture is gorgeous.

I've heard it looks great at night.
The negative thing about that place is that it has so many club seats on the tv side. It being Texas, many of those seat holders prefer to watch the match from the club, leaving their seats empty. Even during a sell-out, you see plenty of orange seats and i've heard the atmosphere is fairly dull because of this.
Yankee Stadium to undergo numerous enhancements for 2017 season
"As a result of the offseason enhancements, the Yankees are removing just under 2,100 seats, including approximately 1,100 obstructed-view Bleachers seats and approximately 600 Terrace Level seats."
Note - I put this in its own thread.

Float it down the Hudson. The ultimate March to the Match.
What if both GAL and Fresh Direct are in the Club's plans? If the Blasio is reelected they go with the fresh direct site. If a more favorable mayor is elected, they go with the GAL sight.
I've lived in NY my entire life. It took me 35 years to set foot on dry land in Staten Island. I wanted to keep the streak going forever, but alas I had to attend a Birthday dinner on Hylan boulevard.
One for NYCFC, one for NYCFC B. Now that would be a curveball.
Besides Manhattan...GAL is the best option hands down. I haven't had any issues in the 2 years getting to the Bronx via car or train.
Just looking on Google Maps... It would appear that if they're going to build at GAL they would relocate the 153rd street exit ramp off the Deegan, remove the parking garage and use some of heritage field. They also have to contend with the Metro North stop.
While I'm a complete novice I did measure the dimensions of the Red Bulls stadium and it's roughly 500' x 700'. You could fit a soccer stadium of that size on the parking garage/GAL land. Of course you'd have to eliminate 153 street.
Look through the past 345 pages of this thread for accurate dimensions. We're still waiting on a table of contents from Chris at NYCFC or an Intern...
