I drove by Pier 40 today. Damn, it would be amazing if they could magically build it there...

 

[FredMertz]

what other soccer team would a stadium be for? playing devil's advocate, but is there a chance the Red Bulls throw their hat into the ring?

I think the other option is a much smaller stadium for local teams.

Paging Barry Diller. How about the IAC pier in collaboration with Expedia and the friends of the high line.

Tapped the Mayoral debate. Finally watched it. All throughout all I could think about was how de Blasio fucked us. Pig.

This would have been nice...

Well, temp stadium anyway. Just saw this at MLS dot com:

I'm with the majority who believe it's only a matter of time before they name Yankee Stadium as the temp venue. I might be in the minority on this one, but I also believe Citi Field would be available if any sort of conflict comes up that would keep the team out of the Bronx.

Of course it's only my 2 cents worth(less), but the Mets/Yankees thing a lot of people chirp about is overblown. If and when the Mets are offered a piece of the action, the Wilpons will welcome NYCFC with open arms.

Hey, any new city will support a new winning club. Let's see three years of not making the playoffs and see the attendance numbers. Obviously, the spending of Arthur Blank will not likely mean a drop from the playoffs but it's still something to think about.

And if they could have somehow installed grass instead of or in addition to turf, it would have been a great venue to US Soccer.

They have 35k season ticket holders. In 3 years or 5 years - winning or not they will still be averaging 30k fans per match (worst case scenario) which makes them Top 2 or 3 in the league. Also, AUFC is getting 30% of their support is coming from outside the state.

Let's face it. We are never getting a stadium in NYC. Never. This thread is crazy. People speak with made up opinion as fact. I still love the team and the fans, but we are never ever getting one.

Do you think NYCFC had to submit preliminary blueprints where they put in their proposal?

Someone please get on this.

 

[Jon]

Someone please get on this.

Can this be FOIL'd?

It can be googled:

C. Site Plan and Architectural Design Each Proposal must contain the following: • A summary of the proposed building program with square footages for each use. • At a minimum, a set of concept sketches on 8.5” x 11” paper, showing the proposed Project and a set of schematic renderings of the proposed Project showing the principal elevations and massing, floor plans for each use, streetscape and landscape plans, entry feature and signage. • A description of the proposed exterior materials and other relevant specifications. • A description of sustainable building practices that will be incorporated into the Project during construction/renovation and operation of the improvements.
