Stadium Discussion

The concern I (not a doctor) have is, with this variant being so highly transmissible and therefore very likely to mutate, what will the next variant look like?

From the doctor, for this to survive, it has to take on the traits of a cold. Most colds are in actuality coronaviruses in nature. That’s how this virus avoids extinction

It's like the flu. Comes back seasonally as a different variant. Sometimes they're bad, sometimes they're not bad. We'll learn to adjust to this soon enough, if we don't completely eradicate covid. (Which we aren't, let's be honest)

Is the consensus that the first major project of the Adams Admin a stadium for us?

I think the general consensus something will always come along to screw us over.

That’s the hopium/copium tbh. But we’ll see if Adams does anything.

I do think that the MLS Cup does line up perfectly timing wise with the new administration. Even if ever so slightly, it probably does help him push the agenda when the NY general public now knows what NYCFC is, and understands that it is a club that has achieved success, gained notoriety, etc. As of a few weeks ago, most probably had never even heard of our club. Now we are on the news, in the papers, celebrating at City Hall, being congratulated by politicians, etc. Higher profile means more support, or at least more understanding.

And momentum with a stadium announcement would really put the team on the map. "Hey did you hear there's a new stadium being built?"

 

[canchon]

MLS Cup won’t be the reason why a stadium gets built. That said, it can only help and the timing (right before a more business/building-friendly administration comes in) which raises NYCFC’s profile couldn’t be any better.

Adams on board. Stadium is happening. South Bronx probably not happening. Negotiating two sites. Citi Field and…













HUDSON YARDS

Over the rail yard?

I had to Google what Hudson yards was after I was told this. So I don’t know but I will ask.

Etihad Island is more believable than this.

 

[sbrylski]

If a real rumor, that doesn't inspire any confidence in a timely stadium announcement and construction time. Hudson Yards? Even if we do succeed, I'll expect to be watching a game there in 2032.

This is the preferred site of the incoming mayor

Yeah, but the land is owned by whom? The MTA (i.e. the state)?

That being said, this would be absolutely fucking awesome as a site.

 

[mgarbowski]

I guess the only way to stop people throwing themselves off the Vessel is to tear it down and build a soccer stadium.

I had to make this my first post. I thought my fantasy of putting a stadium off Exit 8 of FDR was a pipe dream…

If this is true, then the city are really cutting their losses there.

Hudson Yards

1. is it possible to even make a big enough stadium there? the high line goes right around it not sure if the space is there for it.

2. wont James Dolan complain again and shut it down like the jets stadium proposal was brought down?
