i hate giving myself hope for this so ill remain pessimistic for now ....and wait till its actually being built
Those of you not on twitter the last 2 weeks have no idea how funny this is.lol i know what you meant to say but damn wtf happened
EDIT: okay now i look kinda stupid because the quote came out perfect but heres how it looks on my screen:
You're still probably better off, but, this is gold.
There is very little on the web about this site besides the rollout/request for RFP, that NY Times article, and various other NYCFC rumored site articles. It's been if anything too quiet. Maybe someone else's Google skills are better, but I can't find anything
Fancy way of saying architectural bling.
I kind have been, my understanding is the timeline goes as follows:
Random user "leaks photo"
People start rumor and picking apart photo
Original poster says on their instagram page that it may be fake: http://nycfcforums.com/index.php?threads/stadium-discussion.21/page-642#post-241888
Then it kind of gets shut down. I see that the MLS Transfers account had a smartass reply to LionNYC sharing the original photo.
Is there something else I'm missing?
Just when I accepted that I likely wasn’t going to renew next year, hope’s ugly face rears its head. Just let my damn dreams die already!
Information on the site is here, at a glance they have been making zoning modifications and expanded the Hudson River waterfront area to include the “south subdistrict” the stadium would be in during 2017, but whether those are good bad or anything related to the possibility of a stadium isn’t clear

Yeah it's a whole different thing.
Someone posts 2 images. Ostensibly or actually of the same person. One on left is the ugly duckling version, one on right is beautiful. Then they put text above, and format it so left side reads in a column "If you didn't love me at my:" and the one on the right reads in a column "You don't deserve me at my:"
But however the person formatted it, the columns get messed up when viewed on different platforms, screen sizes, etc. So it ends up reading "If you didn't don't love me" and "you deserve me at my at my" or something equally incoherent. I saw 100-200 of them in 36 hours about 10 days ago.
A few random articles about the site from when it first went up to bid.
Amazing that this was so under the radar when it was going through a state bid when Belmont was so public for a very similar process.

ETA: The first article has this interesting tidbit.

Because the zone is governed by something called a general project plan, the state does not need to get any local approvals to change the zoning—say from manufacturing to residential or retail—which can instead be implemented through a state approval process.
I just hope STH sales start to grow after a formal announcement is made- if one is made.
Here is a rendering of the adjacent towers that are to be developed:

GoogleMaps crashes as 18K Google users simultaneously request the transportation time from their residences to Harlem River Yards.
I'd like to add in that this location is only a 1 mile walk from Bronx Brewery! Stop in to pregame and walk off your beer.
