Tired of waiting for our own stadium, so here's a picture of the Banc of California Stadium construction site, as seen on the way into LAX. Must be nice.
Edit: wrong stadium, my bad.

That's the site of the new NFL stadium in LA.

I was going to say I'm pretty sure LAFC's stadium is further along.

EDIT: Also it's next to the Colosseum and I don't think it's that big.

My bad, thanks. Jet lag.

Interesting reincarnation of Turner Field by Georgia State for football. Too bad we can't just buy Yankee Stadium and modify it completely to our needs and have the Yankees share with the Mets.

Isn't that essentially what Timbers did?

Yep. But the Timbers tore down unused stands. Doesn't seem like Georgia State has done that yet, but maybe it'll be continually modified over time.

No offense and I know you're half joking, but the Yankees are the Bronx and not a second rate team occupying NYCFC's "home." The reality of situation is, eventually, people will get turned off by watching games there - especially after Villa retires. I hope NYCFC doesn't wait that long to feel more urgency in resolving this.

It's my first year as a season ticket holder, we're halfway through the season, and I'm already sick of watching games in a baseball stadium. I hate being envious of the Red Bulls.

The front office had better come up with a plan and give us some news by early next season.

You're wrong about two things:

1. I was fully joking
2. The Yankees are most definitely a second rate team.

Yankee Stadium is not ideal, but it works well enough. Better to take time and get the permanent stadium done right.

Could be worse... like the Mets or Boston.

I disliked it at first, grew to be ok with it, and then it got old FAST.

Intern, if you're reading, I cancelled my season tickets because of the stadium situation. I will consider purchasing again in a new stadium.

There are some great great seats at yankee stadium. Mine included :3

They are going to. It's useless and they are better off putting something else there.

I have great seats as well.... I dont hate, ive grown attached to it. Transportation wise is ideal, probably we have gotten spoiled bc of this...easy to get to from midtown after work or metronorth on weekend games

I think most people would agree that the location is great. I happen to love my seats as well in 233B. The field though is awful. Someone is going to end up with a major injury at some point. It looks terrible on TV. You have that fugly restaurant at midfield that prevents people from sitting in what would be the best seats in the stadium. The signage is also too in your face.

I'm going to go further - I would be PERFECTLY CONTENT if we stayed at Yankee Stadium forever. I admit it is for purely selfish reasons - getting to the stadium is a breeze for me and because it is I have never missed a home game.
