Stadium Discussion

Not underwater. Drain the reservoir and use the hole to construct an underground, indoor stadium. Cover the roof with grass meadows for people to enjoy.
I definitely don't see the stadium that is constructed on top of skyscrapers.
I'm 10000% down for a Hobbiton Stadium. Please and thank you.So basically you want a hobbit home.

You owe me a salmon colored Peter Millar 1/4 zip sweater. I just choked and spit coffee all over myself laughing at this post.
Are you alluding to the fact that Empire State Development Corp. are technically apart of a couple of the different site searches?

An article posted in the Bleacher Features section regarding CFG. One interesting note on the stadium that we already knew from the leaked emails:
The same ownership whose deep pockets have enabled these global ambitions may also be a source of further difficulties – in part because the desire to protect Abu Dhabi’s image looms large at CFG. This has become more challenging as the emirate’s ambitious mega-projects, such as the collection of museums on Saadiyat Island, attract the attention of human rights organisations, who accuse the UAE of violating the rights of migrant construction workers. When emails from the Emirati embassy in Washington were leaked earlier this year, among them was a memo revealing that CFG’s directors had fretted about a proposal to build an NYCFC stadium on parkland in Queens – where there was already public opposition to such a project – out of fear that stadium critics would attack Abu Dhabi’s involvement, targeting its attitude to “gay [rights], women, wealth, Israel”. The project was abandoned, and NYCFC still does not have its own stadium.

that's even more terrifyingCorrection, I'm a graduate student at Columbia.
Hell, I was going to make a joke where this was the punchline. Great to know it was as accurate as I thought.Correction, I'm a graduate student at Columbia.
ETA; And no offense to the kid, but if you know Columbia undergrad or P-school people, they wouldn’t even post like that on a message board.
My guess is an educational or seminar/limited professional outreach certificate (“e-MBA!!!!!! For $100k, dumbfuck!”). Or similar. Pretty sure we’re not talking someone who passed the rigors of traditional admission.
ETA2: let me be clear. I mean absolutely No offense,
ColumbiaGrad, beyond the fact I just don’t believe you’re in an actual competitive program at Columbia.And I would never be such a dick to point that out. But you put it in your name, bro.

1. I just have a lot of pride in the fact I worked quite hard to get where I currently am, and Columbia has been my dream school since I was a child.Hell, I was going to make a joke where this was the punchline. Great to know it was as accurate as I thought.

2. You're dead wrong regarding my current program. I'm not sure what qualifies as being a "rigorous" admission process either, given my application process was standard for any graduate student in history (no problem being open with my career path).
3. I turned down Oxford for my current program; I can share my acceptance letter if you'd like.
4. No offense taken, I don't need to prove anything to anyone given where I started from, and it takes a lot more than that to bother me, so we're cool. Lol
5. Oh, and I'm on scholarship. I wouldn't be pursuing graduate studies in the humanities if I was paying for it. Lolz. I'm not THAT big of an idiot.

Good for you.1. I just have a lot of pride in the fact I worked quite hard to get where I currently am, and Columbia has been my dream school since I was a child.

But I'm still sad about a lot of other things, and you have the misfortune of representing them. So I'm still not quite sure I care very much for you.
To be fair, we may be best friends. But it'll be like, a Phil Collins thing if it happens.
Eta: to point out I was correct, youre not in undergrad or professional school. So I wuz kinda (and by kinda, I mean totally) right. Feel free to retract the like. I did add this post facto.

Well, I'm not quite sure what those things are, and I'm sorry you had to endure them. I'd be more than willing to speak privately about this if you feel so inclined?
What I will affirm, however, is that judging me based off prior experiences isn't a fair system to judge one's character on. At least have a beer with me first and then decide for yourself.
I'll have a beer with anyone. And it's nothing about me that makes me sad. Well, there is plenty, but I wasn't referring to it here.Well, I'm not quite sure what those things are, and I'm sorry you had to endure them. I'd be more than willing to speak privately about this if you feel so inclined?

Well, here is to hopefully sharing a beer in the future and watching NYCFC make Red Cow fans cry. I'm sure we can at least agree on that?
