That's a good question. I don't think a federal politician (Congress) will have any meaningful decisions on a stadium aside from vocal support/opposition. It may just come down to City politicians and maybe to an extent State politicians.
Anyone with more real estate knowledge have a better idea?
Yeah, I can't think of any recent examples of a member of Congress killing a NYC real estate development project.
Good point, and AOC was a prominent public face for the opposition, but I believe it was a couple of state senators who took the official steps that convinced Amazon to abandon the project. But certainly a motivated House member can help galvanize local opposition.
I’m sure we all knew this, but figured I’d share...

Thanks. Not a surprise, but hopefully a job creating stadium project will be more warmly embraced once we are on the other side.I’m sure we all knew this, but figured I’d share...

Merchants and vendors around the ballpark are struggling to survive in a summer devoid of the usual crowds.
He wouldn't have a huge deal of influence over it the way AOC did over Amazon, but even if he did spiking something like this isn't his style. A lot of the lefty activists hate him for making various compromises during his time in the Council, and they (and AOC) backed someone else in the Congressional primary.
New York City FC: Self-imposed stadium dilemma continues
COVID-19 has impacted New York City FC's search for a permanent home. The stadium dilemma persists, but it is one of their own making.
Ronny says at halftime of Columbus and Minny that NYC will likely not play at YS again this season. Said RBA and the training facility are options.

I'm sure he meant those were possible options. Probably RBA would be best, they have the TV angles and press amenities, locker rooms, etc.
I couldn’t care less where they play if fans can’t attend. Stay in Orlando for all I care.
I take that back. Can they play in the old World Cup site in Manaus? That would be cool as hell.

Manaus has gotten smacked hard by COVID. Prabably one of the worst places in the world to be right now.
Play at YS again this season? We never did play at YS this season.New York City FC: Self-imposed stadium dilemma continues

Play at rba. No issue with that.
but don’t understand why they wouldn’t use the training site. Remember they told us it was world class

Yea it may not look fancy, but MLS paid TONS of money for each of their Orlando "studio" fields. Playing at RBA would probably be much cheaper and look better.
