Stadium Discussion

I want an underwater stadium. It would be really cool to watch a soccer game from the bottom of the East River, and look up and watch the boats go by. It would have the most unique view of the Brooklyn Bridge too! Of course, we would need to clean up the pollution to make the water clearer, but I'm sure the Sheik can afford it!
Just designed it.

Some stadiums are multi-purpose, right? Like they'll be set up for football/baseball, soccer/baseball, basketball/hockey, football/track, etc.

I think we can still use the Bronx site! Let's just build the soccer stadium INSIDE the elevator factory! It can be an elevator factory by day, and a world class soccer stadium by night. It'll be like one of those cool warehouse clubs in Williamsburg.
 
It would be fun to have a stadium that's partially underground like Camden Yards in Baltimore. The sound advantage in those things is incredible.

For even the most bullish of us, I can't see a solution in the next 18 months. Which means what? 3-4 years of planning and construction?

Could they do the design work ahead of time? That way when they get the site, they can get to work quickly?

drop that in the east river.

They could not do much. From what I understand, the specific site plays a huge impact on design and especially the specific blueprint of a stadium. The specific type of soil, along with other underground infrastructure, plays such a huge role in the design that they need to wait for a site to do any significant planning work. However, I am not an engineer so maybe it's easier than I assume.
 
Just searched the transcript for "stadium" "football" "NYCFC" or any other term related to MLS, NYCFC, Soccer, Stadium, etc. and nothing comes up. I guess that World Cup ball in the promo video was for nothing, big let down on part of the Mayor, again.

Little tough on DeBlasio to claim he let you down because you read something into the fact that there was a soccer ball on a shelf in the background of a video he made.
