Then there's no reason to wait to discuss building it in the past when there was more open space to work with in the city.I’m surprised it took 538 pages to seriously consider outer space.

When waiting in line for concessions or restroom, I want unobstructed views of the field and/or video screens in the concourse. All too often, with the lengthy wait for those two (also see RBA as a bad example of waiting) the play and atmosphere on the field is lost on those poor souls in concourse purgatory.Have we discussed desired stadium atmosphere at all in this 539-page thread? I'm trying to brainstorm how we can make it feel unique.
Any thoughts on an arena-style atmosphere? Atlanta has a little bit of this with their giant roof and video board, but imagine it with steep grade seating.
I'm thinking steep grade seating, a safe-standing supporters wall behind one goal, a giant video board, and lots of lighting and upbeat music. Maybe a heavy, low roof to keep sound and atmosphere in.
I loved when they run lights around the banner displays at Yankee Stadium during goals. Turn that up to 11. And be willing to turn on and off the main lights and use spotlights for pregame and goal celebrations.
The actual result will likely be a lot more middle-of-the-road, but I hope it's unique in some regard.
BRING BACK THE EMPANADAS!!Tons. I mean tons of food options that are unique to the community surrounding the stadium -- wherever that may be.

From the start, Mr. de Blasio was insistent on her having a title beyond first lady, according to past and present city officials, and quickly installed her as chairwoman of the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, a nonprofit that works in tandem with City Hall. There was an internal debate about having the mayor’s wife solicit private industry for money, but Mr. de Blasio pushed past those concerns.
The fund raised $45 million in her first two full years at its helm, including six-figure checks from real estate, energy and finance industries, according to federal tax and city records. She said she makes fund-raising calls weekly.
Susan Lerner, executive director of the watchdog group Common Cause New York, called the nonprofit, which predates the de Blasio administration but was not previously run by the mayor’s wife, a “backdoor way to curry favor.”
“When you donate to it, you expect that the mayor knows you’re supporting his priorities and his program,” Ms. Lerner said.
NO LEGENDS FOOD SERVICES!
No hospitality employees from yankee stadium. Food is horrible, service is horrible.
Mets do this very well. And I hate the Mets.
Not that this has much more relevance beyond the Moon and time travel, but...

How is this not pay for play in politics?
Are you trying to say that real estate developers don't just write big checks to a "charity" tied to the mayor because they love NYC and care about "advancing the communities forward"?How is this not pay for play in politics?
