Stadium Discussion
- Thread starter Gene
- Start date
So, after a year away, it's nice to see that the more things change, the more they remain the same. Despite the cancellation of Cosmos Stadium, despite the reluctance of the New York Yankees, despite just about anything you can think of, we're still getting the same suggestions...
Feels good to be home.
- Fans hopelessly trying to squeeze a soccer-specific stadium into places where they don't belong. (Don't get me wrong. I was also guilty of this one.)
- Politicians making promises they have no attention of keeping. For example, let's build a stadium in Willets Point.
- Fans calling for heads after one game in the season.
- Love of Jason Kreis.

Can't be considered until you submit it with a RBA overlay on a map.
Well considering our other plans are shot, we may as well start a long term capital acquisition program. Set up about 10-12 different company's to buy the land and make sure you're the buyer whenever something comes on the market. More importantly don't tell anyone your long term plans. Just say that you will be using the property to rent out, which you will be doing for the next 20 years.
For bonus points never use the same person to sign the contracts and negotiate for the building. Also see how many different corporate structure with different reporting requirements you can incorporate into the diagram. Be sure to include a minimum of 3 DBA's. You're not doing anything illegal, just intentionally confusing and obtuse.
Would this work over a 5-10 year timeframe? Almost certainly not. Would it work over a 20-30 year timeframe, yes probably. More importantly, it gives us a real shot at having the space for a full 80k person stadium next to one of exactly 2 locations where the main east and west side subways cross. Also it happens to have a dedicated metro north stop nearby.
In 30 years I'm going to be watching the games from my sofa in Boca....
This is the Stadium Thread, global warming doesn't exist. It's also why they are building rockets under the stadium. In case of a natural disaster it can just take off like a space ship.
Isn't that the point of Etihad Island? Just float it on the Hudson. No need to worry about global warming.
Except for the Global Warming Pirates, of course.
Those guys are scary. I heard they've taken over section 202. You can get beat up if you're not one of them.
I believe much of the land that is now Palisades Park was acquired in more or less the manner you describe. One rich guy who lived on the New York side wanted to make sure his view remained unspoiled so he quietly bought up all the land.
I think his name is Bruce Wayne.
Have we considered building the stadium underground? We could build it on the site of the old Yankee stadium and on game days retract the roof which when closed would be the existing park.
If we had the Intern index this thread for us I could have checked before posting and could have prevented duplicate thinking.

We already had that idea. But it rose up from below the Jackie O Reservoir. Rising up from heritage field is new.
Damn right.
But I thought we were denying the causality shit on global warming. I may need to resign.
What is this job stealing witchcraft?! We have a union guy who does this tyvm, take your scab website somewhere else buddy.

We will all eventually be replaced by machines. It's just a matter of time.
Getting back on topic, I wish there was more consideration for the Inwood Railyards on 10th Ave between 205th and 215th streets. You have 2 subway lines within a 2-3 minute walk and the University Heights Metro North stop less than half a mile away. There was talk less than 2 years ago of redeveloping the railyard.
