I have no idea what the policy is now. When I went, I needed a ticket.

Yeah, now it’s really open so you can walk up to it from many different streets. Basically similar to a public park.
The museum though, you need a ticket to, and that does cost money I believe.
ETA: The museum is fantastically well done and I would highly recommend it. But make sure you budget a fair amount of time for it.
That’s my bad - I group the museum into the memorial as a total experience because why go for one and not the other.
I’m with you, except for when I’ve hosted people who haven’t been to nyc yet and have limited time. Then the museum may or may not be an option but the memorial can be visited fairly quickly.
Never been to the museum but the memorial is incredibly evocative
Agree with both of these. Been to the memorial any number of times, haven't been to the museum yet.
A quick map check indicates that there is no intersection of Willis Ave. and 153rd St. Willis Ave starts near the Harlem River Yards site, where it runs north to 149th Street and turns into Melrose Ave. 153rd St. starts right in the middle of the proposed GAL site and runs west, with some breaks, to a little ways past Melrose.Merp
So, the entry doesn't make a lot of sense.
Look, I have good reason to believe the Club is telling the truth that they are close to announcing something at the GAL site. I think they want to do it this year and then have a year for permitting and 2-3 years for construction.
A very smart poster has been telling everyone to watch the Harlem Yards sure

Maybe they means 143rd? That could make a little more sense and if you take the square of 143rd/willis/141st/alexander, I think a stadium would be fittable, using my "put my pointer finger over yankee stadium and move it to this block" test. Have we all been duped on the location?

Maybe Willis and 135th? That's two blocks from Harlem River Yards. Or 133rd/Bruckner Blvd.
Also let's just point out that "Three Possible Sites" is a thing written.
...there is no concrete proposal as of today...
I'm prone to believe that Ayala misspoke in the meeting and revealed two of the potential spots -- on both 153rd St. and another on Willis Ave.
As we are around 45 days out from when the 2020 ticket prices are released. When will the team leak it's stadiums "rumors"?
Well it's hard to say anything concrete about stadium plans yet but I hereby nominate "Merp" as our new board shorthand for something approximating "hey, look at this," and when the stadium is finally announced I'm fully expecting to hear a spontaneous chorus of merps break out across all appropriate threads.Merp
