Stadium Discussion

I never bothered creating a "cover photo" for my Twitter. I may now have to use this.
I would never say I have anything such as a crystal ball.
I still think this thing ends up getting figured out in the South Bronx, hopefully it's revisited in September with CB4. Whether that be with a vote then or an updated presentation and a vote in October. But I don't know anything towards that at all.
Since my article was published, the two sides hadn't spoken in roughly two weeks and I don't know if there are any updates on that specifically. But with the earliest this can be visited with CB4 being 9/23, there is some time to work through this and I hope both sides take advantage of that time to do so.
I'll be looking to check in on how things are going, but that's not necessarily something I'm going to be on top of day-to-day unless I'm sent something.
Aw, shucks this made me happier than I should be admitting!Lol, that's been quite a nice bump in reads today and was a wonderful surprise to see.
And I prefer it here with you guys more than the soccer media world. Still looking forward to meeting many of you in person that I haven't met yet.
Great to see that recognition from Wahl. Much deserved for a lot of good, complicated work.
I have to think this gets done in September. The Bid/Ask is simply too close.

SoupInNYC backlash to say I'm starting to think he's to blame for the Stadium issues.
In a Scooby-Doo "if it wasn't for this nosy guy, our scam to get the extra parking spaces would have worked" sort of way.

In that case, he should just add "not" before everything he says and writes, that way it's not really trueI just want to get ahead of the inevitable

Can we get a scooby gif where every time they take the mask off it’s Randy Levine and there’s a peeping Lampard
Lol I was not really expecting it but
QuigrNYCFC you really delivered

A perspective: of the 19 league games (counting home, “home” and away matches) NYCFC play from the month of August til the of the season; 4 games are in the Bronx.
That’s just really unfortunate and feels wrong.

If you're looking to laugh, check out this reddit comment thread where someone thinks a stadium in MANHATTAN is possible. And not Manhattan, Kansas.
He kept with it, too! Manhattan real estate is down. It will be easy to tear down a block or two and build a stadium! Randy has it all figured out. The parking is a subterfuge.
The Manhattan idea is obviously crazy, but when that post mentioned Hudson Yards, it did get me thinking that the Sunnyside Yards in Queens would be an underrated yet really good spot for a stadium. Even if it's not over the yards specifically, you can probably find a suitable and realistic spot for a stadium somewhere in that area (Sunnyside, Long Island City, Astoria, etc.). Plus it's far enough away from Flushing/Willets Point that it won't be awkward for the Yankees and in a neighborhood that isn't totally oversensitive to being screwed in a stadium deal like the South Bronx is.
Those neighborhoods and the yards have been discussed a lot in the previous 980 pages, though not recently since the site near YS became the focus. There were even some mock-ups and renderings. But there never seemed to be much real traction for those sites among the people running things.

iirc sunnyside already got plans for residential buildings in the yards
I wonder how this and the future of the governor's race + whoever is replacing in the mean time will affect the Stadium deal.

Eric Adams just got more important, given the new Governor will need his support for re-election. Not sure if that impacts the stadium, but Adams is supposedly pro-development.**
**Although he killed a big development project in Brooklyn today for a number of reasons, including the casting of massive shadows on the Brooklyn Botanic Garden greenhouses.
