Stadium Discussion

600 x 450 is about the max size you could work into the GAL site without infrastructure work (Yankee stadium Deegan exit; Metro North station and tracks; elevated walkway to MN station), and that's assuming you can absorb all of the street northwest of where the I87 exit lets out.
GAL site could work but is plainly inferior to the Fresh Direct site from a mass transit perspective. It's the difference between being at the hub of the wheel, and way out on one of the spokes. Fresh Direct is one notch from the hub; GAL is about 15. And make no mistake, with LIRR East Side Access project, Grand Central is THE hub-- both NY commuter rail lines, and the 7 connecting West side and East side subway lines straight to the stadium.

I'm gathering up a list of these posts for an index. Might also put them all on a single web page as well just to have them all in one spot.
If you're putting that effort together, would it be possible for
NYCFC_Dan to place that as the first post of this thread for ease of reference?

The only way we could realistically do that is to hijack the first post in the thread, which - given it wasn't made by Dan or I - we'd probably rather not do.
So strongarm
Gene with whatever the you need to do (give him 1000 dan bucks/pts) so that he'll let you hijack post #1. The index is the only thing that will keep the stadium threads' time/space continuum in check and us from infinitely going in circles.Does
According to his profile he hasn't logged in since the 22nd of September. There's still every chance he'll return, but it's even less reason for me to want to just force an index into one of his posts.
I can always edit the original post and add the index to it. Or sticky a new thread as an index.
Would leave original post intact and then add an index below it.

Nothing this amazing gets built in a democracy...
This is a beautiful stadium, no doubt, but if the stadium is at the Fresh Direct location, this design would surely negate what would be one of the most iconic views in all of sports: The NYC skyline!One day maybe one day, we'll build something as nice as this

I wonder how they would highlight the view, while at the same time enclosing the stands for optimal viewing, protection from the elements and crowd noise...
