It would fit better 90 degrees to the left (or right). God, this is getting me excited when it has absolutely no reason to whatsoever at all
March to the match along the Highline?
(Lol, this isn't happening.)

Yea, their main office for the high ups is there. They did most of the HY development.
They still have their columbus circle office i believe for secodary staff and low level is on 56th street I think.
This western rail yard site is also leased to Related by the MTA. The mixed-use project (same as HY more or less) has been approved by the CPC and adopted by the City Council. MTA is desperate for the income the western HY development will provide.

Kjbert unless your rumor source is Adams himself-- and even if it is, tbh-- I don't see how this could possibly become the site for a NYCFC stadium.
Now, Willets on the other hand...

I'll believe it when I see it. I have really huge doubts about Hudson Yards even being considered as a thing.
That being said, hudson yards would be really freakin' cool as a stadium site. Amazing view of the river, the high line, would make it one of the most attractive stadiums in MLS. Not to mention Javits Center is right next door, and the Vessel not far. Would make for great rally locations etc.
...AND it would be easily accessible by basically all the boroughs except Staten Island.

Nice! But it doesn't change the virtually zero chance that it happens there. City, state, and federal approvals for the western HY are too far along. Plus, in return for the zoning and approvals allowing for all the high-end commercial, office, and residential use, I believe Related promised a public school and some more green space. Adams would have to be some sort of modern-day Boss Tweed to reverse all that.
And believe me-- no one would love the stadium at that location more than me--- I'm a 10 minute walk away

the stadium would be built in Bed-Stuy or Brownsville before Hudson Yards
There’s parking all over the West Side Hwy around there. Javits Center lots also.
The Jets couldn't do it, but NYCFC are? I know everyone is still hyped about the cup, but this sounds so far fetched. Now the Citi Field parking lot sounds like the path of least resistance, though I'm not sure how the Yankees would be okay with this.
People are going to realize quickly that an Adams administration is going to be an absolute bonanza for real estate, gambling and development interests. Guy has absolutely no scruples. He’s so in the bag for development interests. It’s fantastic. The anti-BDB
