This situation that CFG finds itself in is the equivalent of going into an apartment open house on the first day on the market and not only making an all-cash offer, but adding 10% to the asking price to entice an immediate acceptance.
Stadium Discussion

I’m not talking a certain set of people who will always complain. They are professional complainers
Then don't come into the Stadium thread. Or we can have a vote.
And they'd be correct.
If you're gonna launder a reputation that bad you're gonna have to pay extra.
Here's an explanation - they have the money but they think they won't have to pay. Because they didn't work so hard for that sovereign wealth to just fritter it away.
In any case, the win is that they can own and sponsor and utilize a team that doesn't look like a tire fire in order to associate shiny happy feelings with Abu Dhabi and distract from basic human rights atrocities and regional agitation.
Rich people get and stay rich mostly due to having begun with a capital advantage. In some cases they actually get and stay rich by providing value to society (specifically the parts of society that have the means to reward the production of what they value) but I'm not sure that's the case with our ownership.

Yep. You only get one shot at making an impression.
You just need to look at NYRB to see what our future looks like if we dont get a stadium soon.
Huge day today. Going to be lots of reporting from the meeting, I'd assume. Wonder if any presentations will be made public for us to go over.
We couldn’t use some good news more than right now. Here’s hoping hoping your wondering does us well.
It isn't clear quite yet what will be presented publicly today. They just mentioned that their "findings" will be presented. Who knows what that means in terms of form of delivery, and if they'll provide "all" of their findings.
One thing to look out for though, is their report will be published afterwards. It was mentioned that this would be in the "coming weeks", so not sure if that means 2 weeks, or 7 weeks. But their reports will usually end up on their website.
Here is an example one from the Hunts Point TAP performed in March of this year.
I'm assuming the report will likely be provided to the Community Board much earlier than when it makes it up on the website. I've had their "Recent TAPs" page open as a tab for a few months now, waiting for the Hunts Point one to be provided (it was mentioned as "Coming Soon" for a while) and it didn't make it up there until maybe a month or so ago.
Probably not stadium related, or is it?
I have to think he's recording something for the club. Maybe it's a video announcing the historic first season split between two home stadiums.
Then it should be “BIG Shitty things happening #NewYorkShittyFootballClub”
“He’s got to do better there Joe” - theme for 2020
A Scots-language immersion course for native Californians.
I agree "event" is an odd choice of word for a video session, but I don't think they host big parties at the club offices on Wednesday afternoons either, and a press conference wouldn't be private. What else do we have as options?
Very likely this may be coupled with the ULINewYork Technical Assistance Panel they began yesterday and concludes today. That was mentioned in the Outfield article. That’s what I’m thinking..
guessing here. maybe something amazon prime and their relationship with YES and the streaming of games next year.
It’s an office Halloween party where they all dress up as full kit wankers in next year’s kit with a championship star over the badge.
