Anyone see this? I'm I late to the party? There's too many pages in this thread.

Stadium Discussion
- Thread starter Gene
- Start date
yes, yes, and yes
I skimmed through and saw nothing lol. Please summarize
Haha, but maybe not news news, but things were happening, lol
Edit: and this may also be the furthest this thread has gone actually discussing stadium related items and not curling or organic tomatoes, etc. etc.
Well, I mean, they did put a bid in, on a site that almost nobody wants. That's news right?
I can’t wait for your insider to be right for the first time.
By all means, keep posting it. But one of you guys owes us some drinks.
Long island is becoming a retirement community. I think there are less than 500 empty building lots on the whole Island. Yes I live in westchester and everyone moving here that I meet grew up on the island, but its too expensive and everyone is aging in place.
Plus its a fucking traffic nightmare
This is your finest work yet. You have truly outdone yourself. Thank you for your service.
I don't remember any of my sources ever being wrong. Care to point out an example for us?
Just point me to one that's been right. I can't find all of the "sources" posts, but I am pretty good about remembering these sort of things.
One off the top of my head: tpfkau was nailed on for a trade.
Just heard a report on the radio 880 talking about how the Islanders fans don't want them to go to Belmont and NYCFC put in a bid in to build a soccer stadium. This is the first time I've heard it on radio or TV. I wonder if they're leaking it to gauge fan reaction or to put pressure on other bids. Then again maybe they are dumb enough to think Belmont is a good idea and they see it as the cheapest most obtainable option.
I tend to use the "trust, but verify" approach with online rumors, which I apply to you as well. So I'm not ragging on you, but you did post this yesterday at 10:53am:
And 7 minutes later, this came out in Bloomberg:
I’m trying to catch up after a long absence... one question- when the hell will we have confirmation about who “wins” this god forsaken bid?
This I can answer with 100% confidence.
We have no idea!
That is the world of New York State politics. Because this is a state run committee we can have a decision tomorrow (we won't) or we can have a decision in 6 years.
When the Cosmos bid, they didn't hear back for a year IIRC and then they said they didn't like any of the bids and asked companies to re-bid. So really, there's no way to know when we know until we know.
Third bid for belmont besides us and the isles is Nassau County Exec Mangano for Amazon's new east coast headquarters. Good news for us....bad news for isles fans lol
Buckley - that's not true about Long Island as a whole - sure, the number of elderly people are increasing, but so is the overall population - I'll concede the fact that some of the more expensive towns are starting to look like retirement communities, but it's not island-wide
