Stadium Discussion
- Thread starter Gene
- Start date
I don't recall exactly, and maybe I am recalling it all incorrectly, but I thought I remember reading somewhere that Katz's office released news that they were in talks about the stadium and Katz and Moya were excited about the project.
You're right, it's not "pretty much done" but having local political support is a big hurdle. and the modular stadium is to be at York college in jamaica. Sounds to me like it's pretty much announced? Or am I missing something?
I'm assuming the below is what you are referring to, dated October 2018. I'm not sure how that wording is any different from what we've seen in regards to other local community meetings and statements, especially more recently, in regards to NYCFC in the Bronx.
I don't intend to say that they aren't making progress or anything. I've just seen so many suggestions out on Twitter that QBFC is doing so much more than NYCFC in regards to this, and I just don't see what that is based on aside from selective memory.
People seem to think that Villa is just going to show up and poof, stadium done. he’s a legend, has also done amazing community outreach, but that’s a bit much.
A temporary stadium is easy, although I’m sure there will be objections. I thought you were referring to an actual stadium.
Getting approval from York to build a 7.5k stadium ≠ finding somewhere to build a 20-25k stadium.
In the ESPN article it said the stadium would be at York College. So they may be less red tape to get through. Also it's likely going to be turf due to cost for the USL team/college.
Exactly. Building a small minor league stadium on private property is a hell of a lot different than what NYCFC is trying to do.
EDIT to the fact that York is in the CUNY family, but I don't know whether that seriously changes my point. This stadium probably doesn't need government approval.
People are worried about them redeveloping a stadium at some college somewhere?

Inter Miami soccer team could remain in Fort Lauderdale longer than expected
Soccer legend David Beckham and his Inter Miami team could be calling Fort Lauderdale home well beyond 2021. It all depends on whether his plans to bring a new Major League Soccer team to Miami get…

Miami might be more than two years in its temporary stadium AND its whole stadium plan might be killed by politicians?
All of us right now:
I think the culture of the Middle East - is to say nothing until something is done. So when - and it’s a big when any deal is done - it will likely have the I’s dotted and the ts‘s crossed before CFG say anything.
Reyna was the key to getting a stadium? Come on man lol
I can list 47 ways CFG and NYCFC have failed, disappointed, underwhelmed and even betrayed us. I don't know why people feel a need to make up ones that don't exist and make no sense when there are so many real ones to choose from.
ETA: There's more if this going on the the Reyna thread but whatever. Everything makes sense in the stadium thread.

Remember all those people saying that they thought an announcement was coming before end of year?
This post will look really silly when that announcement comes on December 31stRemember all those people saying that they thought an announcement was coming before end of year?

QBFC announced their stadium plans. I’m sure that’s what the rumors were about.
