Stadium Discussion

[Drainyoo]

NYCFC should just replace one of the old piers on the west side. or maybe a pier in brooklyn. it cant be hard to make a pier, the city has 100+

Hahahahaha.

 

[LionNYC]

Yeah, that was Yankee Stadium. Now it's all public fields. The proposed Bronx stadium is a few blocks south of the 4 train stop at Yankee Stadium.

Put a stadium in Central Park. Now that would be cool.

I was there too,maybe if I can recruit my PSU fans to support NYCFC it can be an amazing atmosphere just like the game!

@danger I was at the Penn State/Boston College bowl game and it was amazing. It was also in the 50s in December which made it quite incredible. Yankee Stadium people say you really need the first two tiers to be filled to get the effect of being at Yankee Stadium and also have it look good on tv. They're putting NYCFC Tarp behind home plate since those sections aren't being used. They really should do that in the upper tiers as well and maybe some of the sections in the 2nd tier that are empty.

Oh Lord, that's all they'd have to do is tarp off the upper deck. Every God Damned poseur in North America would have the tops of their freakin' heads blow clear off.............on second thought, that might might be a bad idea after all.

 

[franchise646]

is that where the stadium would go?

I doubt that they would build in place of those public fields. During the summer they're always packed with little league teams playing. I wouldn't want NYCFC to take that away from the community.

It's that parking garage in the background.

Oh, well f*ck that parking garage. Let's build a stadium and we would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that meddling de Blasio.

It wasn't de Blasio who stopped the stadium it was the guy who owns the other building that was needed to build that stadium.

Yeah and he isn't going to. The team is going to have to pay for everything they want.

It's a big parking lot. But I think the plan was to take over the parking lot and a manufacturing company (elevator)

Meddling de Blasio..... otherwise we would just be waiting for opening of new stadium.

This needs to be corrected it was the owner of the manufacturing company not the mayor who tucked up the plan.

Am I the only one who is starting to worry that the we haven't heard a peep about a stadium besides the same generic "we're looking for the right place to build a stadium it's gonna take some time" message we've been hearing for the past 2 years?

A bit worried but to be honest I'm more worried where and when we are going to build our home training center/ academy

 

[BxLio91]

Why worry when there are vast resources? Do you guys not see what the Sheikh did in Manchester? It means he'll do exactly the same here just because New York City can't be that much more different than Manchester can it.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

Resources, resources, resources

Westchester?

Seriously, NYRB have one of the best academies in MLS and until recently it was renting a field or two from a local DII college. I think NYCFC already has something nicer and more controled up in WC. I dont think they are too far off so far.

 

[Tiger Jones]

I'm worried. Luckily for them they have the excitement of a new season to distract the issue. If by the end of this season they don't have a plan in place they will probably just settle for the Aqueduct. Otherwise we will probably be stadium-less until at least 2019.

 

[Kenny]

I am not worried, they have their plates full with the season right around the corner, but once that passes I think we will hear something.

Tomorrow is de Blasio's State of the City. A MLS soccer ball is spotted in his office:

It could be nothing.

It's most likely nothing.
