Stadium Discussion

And isn't that a big reason we have a new club President? I feel like as much as I respect Pernetti (i know I'm in the minority there), a big reason for his ousting was how public the situation was behind the scenes. If Glick is doing his job right, we won't know anything until we absolutely have to; and honestly after all the BS we see with the NYK, NYJ, NYM and the other media frenzied teams in this city I prefer this strategy any day.
some would say the "Dead" folks in the cemetery might even be "Grateful" to have some company.
I can not possibly say this any more emphatically: Any site that has the word "Park" in its name, or is owned/maintained by the NYC Parks Department AND is big enough to hold a stadium is a complete non-starter. There is simply no way that any park area will be used for a stadium unless an equal and nearby amount of land is dedicated to park space. And if there was a similar plot of land nearby that could be made into a stadium, they'd just do it there.
And as much as I want a stadium deal done, I agree with this. Shouldn't be using existing park land for a new stadium. They'll find something.
I agree that it won't happen anytime soon, but I disagree that it shouldn't. Although important and necessary (and believe me, I use them more than most), parks are somewhat underutilized and an inefficient use of space. The city could sell off 25% of Central Park to CFG and other private entities, make mad money to spend on other public services (education or whatever people think is most important), and still more or less preserve the park-going experience as it is today.
But let's start small and just think about the stadium. Get rid of the Central Park Zoo to make way for it. There are like four other zoos in the city that people can visit instead. Plus they are anachronistic and inhumane. And if we move the proposed site from Central Park to some other part of the city, all of this is even more feasible. Again, CFG would be paying for all of this, not the public, so leave that out and just think about how this idea is actually makes sense logistically (although not politically).
Can we get an ignore thread option? I don't know why I keep clicking here, but I can't stop. I have a problem.
Yes!!! I am glad that I am not the only one having this problem!!!
There is literally zero chance of any of central park being sold. We would have a better shot at them knocking down the freedom tower. Thats how far out you are with this nonsense. Welcome to my ignore. I can't believe I even read that.
It's nonsense now, but I predict that the consensus opinion will change over time.
Stop. Just stop. For the love of God...STOP!
you're either a troll or the most delusional person on the planet.
Hahah, a stadium in Central Park. Now I've read it all.
A stadium floating in the middle of the Long Island Sound is more likely to happen than one in Central Park.

Thats not the first time on this thread that that has been proposed. And even worse, the idea of a floating stadium has been seriously proposed too.

Boom! Problems solved.
