looks like we can at least count all other places out at this point...
Not sure anything can be counted out if they’re still “exploring possibilities” in the Bronx. If it were a single location, sure, but they’re evidently still casting a wide enough net to be plural.
Didn't Sims say south Bronx in his interview?
Tweet is from Goodman who spent most of the hr reiterating how new he was and needed to find out more information.
Sims, if he said what I seem to recall him saying, is more believable.
In the end, doesn't matter til there are shovels in the ground.
I hope they're using heavy machinery and not just shovels or this thing is never gonna get built.
Shovels create jobs. Heavy machinery steals jobs away from at least 200 laborers.
thinking like the MTA, I see
Why would something Sims said be more believable than an official account? What basis of logic is pointing you to that? In the absence of anything concrete, and Sims' video chat is hardly concrete, it's more likely that the club is still looking at multiple locations than it is they have locked into a single place. Look at Nashville - putting all of one's eggs in a single basket leaves room for the unthinkable. Once government filings are done for approvals and permits, and there are receipts generated, then it'll be believable that it's a single location being sought.
i think you're missing the point.
the tweets from the official account are answers from the new COO. Sims has been the CEO for over a year and his interview was also released on the official account. So, all things being equal (e.g., the official account releasing both), considering the COO for 1 month vs CEO for over a year, notwithstanding the fact that the COO kept responding with "hey hey.. i'm new, I don't have all the answers!", I would say that Sims's answers come from a more knowledgeable ( or at least more prepared) position, which makes his answers more believable than Goodman's. Note, I also did not say that Sims was specified a specific location, but instead a general area of the South Bronx. If you wanted to nit pick about the interpretation of "single location", one could easily argue the Bronx itself as being a "single location" vs the other 4 boroughs.
I thought it was pretty clear I didn't think either answer was concrete when I said none of it matters til there are shovels in the ground.
I always think someone who is actually laser-focused on something would never say that they were "laser-focused"

These guys really take that many jobs from people?
Yankee Stadium adds pair of social gathering areas for fans ahead of 2020 season
The areas will be accessible to fans with game day tickets anywhere in the Stadium for Yankees and NYCFC home games.

Yankee Stadium is adding two more gathering areas for baseball and soccer fans to catch the action while away from their seats in 2020.
Located on the main level in the 200 sections, the Stella Artois Landing and the Michelob Ultra Clubhouse will be accessible to fans with game day tickets anywhere in the Stadium for Yankees and NYCFC home games for the upcoming season, the Yankees announced Monday.
“The Stella Artois Landing and Michelob Ultra Clubhouse were conceptualized and built with input from our guests, who have consistently asked us for more social locations to enjoy,” said Yankees senior vice president Marty Greenspun in a news release. “Fans in attendance have clearly gravitated toward these types of settings, and we look forward to providing even more communal gathering spots for our fans to thoroughly engage with the game in a socially-focused style.”
The Stella Artois Landing will span the tops of Sections 232A and 232B in the leftfield corner, while the Michelob Ultra Clubhouse will be located across the ballpark in the rightfield corner atop Sections 207 and 208.
In addition to their in-game use, both areas will be available to reserve as pregame party spaces for groups of 20 or more people.
The two new landings join a host of other fan-friendly areas at the Stadium to open in recent years, including other party decks in the centerfield bleachers and upper level, a sports bar on the field level and a children's play area in the upper level.
Two more examples of the bad beer options at the stadium. AB InBev must be showering them with sponsorship money.

I know. I was just going to write that I would be happy to hang out in those places so long as I could enjoy a different beer.
Still, could be worse. Try getting anything other than a Heineken at the U.S. Open - and I mean anywhere - luxury suites, beer gardens, the nice restaurants - nothing but the green bottle.
I don’t even need to hang out there.... I just want different beer.
What’s so appalling are the prices charged for such inferior products. Understand the laws of supply/demand, and the notion of exclusive rights, but to pay $14-16 for the choices given is rotten. Has made the game-day experience a little less buzzed and less charged to the CC.
And I thought the whole point of markets and capitalism was to improve outcomes for consumers via competition.
