Now that's a well written article. Doesn't take a side. Simply takes something in question and states the facts. Don't say that IT IS the stadium plan but IF it is here are some obstacles to overcome.

Don't put any credence whatsoever into the CNBC article. For starters, the Rooney family that owns Yomkers Raceway is entirely divested from the branch that owns the Steelers. The idiot needs to do some fact checking. Just goes to show you how foolish that article was.
I've said it before. This is all one big circle jerk to get rich Arab Sheikhs to pay off some of the city's debt. De Blasio is scum.

OK, but what about Washington stadium ? Zero mention, but we know that there are good new about it.......
Knowing NYC politics I honestly expect nothing to happen for a few years.
Every stadium in new York is difficult to get done. Even the Yankees who spent a billion dollars had to jump through hoops to move one block over. Jets, giants, red bulls, all gave up and went to jersey. It will get done. It might take time, but seeing ys filled for home game will certainly help.
Very true point except one- Red Bulls never gave up. They were the Metrostars and then decided to re-brand themselves into NY. For that reason, I'll never root for them.
That would be a traffic nightmare with that one main road, and small bridge. I don't see the community ever agreeing to this. Plus, I doubt there would be any room for a stadium and parking on the island. It's really narrow.
I don't think the tram is design for that kinda traffic.
That empty space on Roosevelt Island is a park that's had a lot of work done lately, and the island has a bunch of new luxury apartment buildings just recently went up and I don't think it's realistic to shove a stadium there. Personally would be convenient for me taking the F train back home to central Queens.
Oh, and some dismissed it as "not ideal." It's probably just a turn of phrase, but no stadium site is likely to be particularly ideal.

F Train (240 person capacty per car) AND Tram (with a capacity of 110 passenegers per car), i dont think pedestrian traffic would be bad. The stadium will jump-start small business there (im sure bars will pop up).
The view from that point is just too good to give up (empire state building, midtown all the way to the freedom towe AND downtown brooklyn).
The land is already city owned so it wouldnt matter what the local community thinks
The tram?? Have you ever been on that thing or even looked at it? That's not even an option.
Plus, there will be many fans who don't live in the city limits and need to drive. There will be people driving to the games.
