Stadium Discussion

Re: IPJ
First thought is along the lines of “what a tool”.
The over enthusiasm, okay fine I guess… I’m feeling we might be straying into some toady territory here.

He's a media personality. It's his job to be the way he is now. Just hope his news is something worthwhile and not a pile of dung

The content will depend on how it is delivered, but I expect it to go like something about the Yankees revitalizing the Bronx, something about the City/BH reneging, something about the Yankees remaining committed to the stadium and redeveloping the neighborhood, something about it remaining a top priority, something about a bump in the road, something about getting it back on track, something about the effect of the pandemic.

Ian Joy is a hack now. Don’t forget that he only collects one paycheck now.
and yes. No fan is watching the broadcast for the first “open” home game. We’re all going to be there

Just FYI, Randy spoke to SoupInNYC as well. He's been following up on some leads, but he'll have something out once he hears back from the other parties involved.

Stadium in Yonkers: confirmed.

 

[JayH]

Well, that was predictable.

Looks like Ian was fed up lol. I'll believe it when I see it. All the talk is cheap until we're playing in the eventual stadium.

I’m streaming on ESPN and the broadcast doesn’t start till 6. Anything worth repeating?

So from what I just heard they are saying the club is now expanding their search in other locations. Doesn’t mean the Bronx is dead but doesn’t sound good? Could be a ploy to get the bx with a quick yes vote

Here's what Ian said:

The community board is not the roadblock.

Agreed. Absolutely not the CB. Disappointing from Ian. I know he's just a superfan and professionally dependent on the club to some extent but he just swallowed Levine's BS hook line and sinker there, clearly, and regurgitated it on TV.

Fuck that Ian. The Yankees pulled the vote at the community board meeting. They are the problem. Randy Levine is the problem.

The front office has said there would be a time when they will begin to ask fans to start communicating to their city representatives in favor of a stadium. Ian Joy sounded the bell. Don't think we're at that point yet.

ian drank the koolaid to keep his YES network job

 

[DeGrozz]

Does he not know the process or did he just decide suck the corporate teat?

What do you think

What’s funny is that it sounds like NYCFC is pissed at the Yankees. And the Yankees had Ian come on television before our game and lie to make the Yankees look good.
