Worst part of today, no renderings!

BOOOOOOO

The Islanders architect is from Pupulous. This collusion theory is sounding more and more likely.

Can someone explain this? I'm behind on this.

CFG has worked with this architecture company before and they recently opened up a New York office. It's possible we gave the Islanders a bit of a "discount" for some help in Albany.

Islanders were one slide too according to Twitter.

Smoke, but probably impossible to prove.

"NYCFC stadium plan is to have the playing surface below grade."

 

[Gotham Gator]

Oh yeah, but I don't know if CFG will actually invest enough for a retractable roof. That shit is mad expensive.

Plus, you can't expand a stadium that has one.

That’s the main point for sure. It’s inevitble it will be built with eventual expanision in mind

Supposedly the crowd wasnt pleased by either bid. This could go either way...

Uhh what?

 

[Bane]

Uhh what?

I think it's related to the roof and ensuring we have the noise within the stadium. Idk this shit man.

Need to bring over that Yankee Stadium home field advantage.

Sorry when you say below grade it sounds like we’re planning on having a crap playing surface with shitty turf...

 

[Fake Jew]

Interesting our architects are from Vinoly and MPFP. NOT POPULOUS.

 

[Fake Jew]

Vinoly did the renowned academy.

Preeetttttyyyyyy.

This is correct

 

[COLINMOUTH]

Uhh what?

So basically the stadium would be built below ground level, helping contain noise from escaping into the surrounding neighborhood

 

[Gotham Gator]

Below grade means you walk in on street level and are already halfway up the stands. It's a good approach. Easier in and out.

Florida Field in Gainesville - aka The Swamp - is like that. That's because it was built on a depression in the ground. The bottom half of the stadium is just concrete on ground.

Works great. Have never understood why more stadiums aren't done the same way.
