Stadium Discussion

[Shawn Ryu]

What should the proposed stadium’s capacity should be?

I say 30,000. It might be a tad big at times but I think for the most part e should be able to fill it enough.

Maybe 25,000. Nothing less than that.

Probably 5-8 minutes from Vernon-Jackson, and 10-15 from Greenpoint Ave.

5-8 min is good. My god if this is actually possible...

Probably 5-8 minutes from Vernon-Jackson, and 10-15 from Greenpoint Ave.

EDIT: And again, acting under the assumption that the BQX becomes a reality (of which I am somewhat skeptical...) it would run literally right next to the stadium.

Google maps say it’s about 10 mins from the G train station. My god this would be perfect from Brooklyn. Absolutely perfect.

So while I can't discourage skepticism I can say this wasn't a fan photoshopping job - I wish I had those skills. And while I would love to be an amazing internet troll, my username is on BigSoccer and trolling isn't my usual activity. I can red card Midas if you need proof of that. Heck, I should do that even if you don't need proof.

Bartender/server at Blaggard's?

dark knight So where did you overhear this conversation? What bar? Describe the individuals talking?

And most importantly, how did you get a digital copy of that picture?

 

[dannd23]

I will completely forgive the club for not having a stadium yet, Lampard, playing in CT, etc if this stadium happens...

7 train 1 stop from GC

Also LIRR

Worth noting one of those parcels across the creek in Brooklyn is owned by the city. The other two are privately held.

Also LIRR

Technically true, but the service to the Hunter's Point Avenue and LIC stations is very limited. Typically only weekday rush hour in peak directions.

This is arguably the most appeasing to every borough's fans. Even coming from the Bronx, this would be considered pretty easy.

But there's no way this is feasible right? The hoops they'd have to jump through....just thinking of it makes my head hurt.

Ah, I assumed it was the Fresh Direct site. It is, in fact, the marked area below, which measures 10.9 acres by my crude outline.

Slightly off topic but that's typically what this tread is for, Transmitter Brewing shown on this map shot is worth checking out if you like farmhouse style beers. They brew some really interesting funky stuff.

This is eating me. Who made this??

Note the brightly-colored ferries in the water on this image. Whoever made it intended for ferry access from Manhattan to be a talking point.

They capture lightning energy from the sky to fuel David Villa’s immortal body.

ETIHAD ISLAND. I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!

Dude, that isn’t an island, because it isn’t in the water.

But it is a variation of the idea I posted about a few hundred pages ago about straddling the shipping piers at the port facility next to Bkln Bridge Park’s Pier 6.

Similar to the Mets and Belmont stations, if demand is there schedules can be modified.

Good catch. Whoever did this wasn't an amateur.

Hard to say if they’re occupied buildings or just structures that help support the stadium’s roof (similar to a suspension bridge).
