There's no way you could've known what you were getting into if you joined in 2015 or 2016. As far as everyone knew, YS was going to be temporary. The meeting wasn't up either.

you said shitty business model, meaning attendance is huge part of that. so it is shitty, we knew that for couple years now. i dont see why you mentioning it now. only way you put butt in seats it seems was was big names, and even that started to fail after a while. venue is an issue, we know that, all your points are obvious and have been mentioned many times already.
i always have said ( i guess half jokingly) that i was expecting to stay in YS for 10 years, i dont know how to do search on here but i know i mentioned it here either 2015/ 2016. why? because i damn well know in nyc it takes forever to get anything done ( if at all) barclays took like 10 years from start to finish to finally occur with all red tape going on. from idea to planning to permits to actual construction.

So you can’t show me where I said the things your wrote?
If I say shitty business model, I said shitty business model. You then attributed to me “fantasy ideas about selling out upper levels of YS” - which I didn’t write. Don’t use straw man arguments and move the goal posts when called out on it.
look man you saying stuff thats already been said time and time again, and obvious things man. cincy is a different market so approached differently. This is nyc in YS, it aint gonna be easy selling the place, thtas all im saying, im even skeptic the best business model from MLS will easily work in YS.
Please, luxury boxes will likely start at $100K a season.
These are Red Bull prices from nearly a decade ago: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2010/01/23/red-bull-arena-skybox-and-club-seat-pricing-announced
You know there will be a New York City premium on them.
It's more than NYCFC/CFG only makes 15% of potential advertising and marketing revenue at Yankee Stadium. At their own stadium, that number explodes.
Stadium naming right
Suite/Club naming rights
All fixed and removal signage
On grass sponsors (I've seen Man City with Amazon on the pitch during the All or Nothing marketing push)
Expanded opportunities for product/service activations
Can we go back to the new stadium news now? Lol
you are new around these parts. being side track ( and i mean really off topics to stadiums or even MLS) is part of this thread. thats why its 753 pages
Hey! I’m not that new. Been following the thread for like 3 years now. Just haven’t really posted anything
Just saw this article

MSG is one of the larger NBA arenas (6th out of 29), Yankee stadium one of the larger MLB stadiums (also 6th) and RBA, Citi Field and MSG for hocker are all in the top half.
Not cool that you've been here a while and still stole K Kjbert 's icon...
Actually thought about adding an avatar this week
People cannot be complaining about Willets Point location. Seriously? 7 train and LIRR. What more can you possibly want?
Manhattan stadium is 1000000000% impossible.

I’d love the see all the Westchester people bitch and cry if it’s announced.
I live in Westchester, and it really isn't that much worse to get to Citi. Yankee Stadium is closer, but it's not like Willets is an hour farther away than YS.
People are going to complain because people complain, and while I'd certainly prefer the location near YS, Willets would be more than fine.
The 4 train to 161 Street-Yankee Stadium-Etihad Stadium
Since I’m a self-professed pedant and asshole, can I point out that “could of” and “could’ve” aren’t the same thing? One is a word (a contraction, but a word), the other is two words that should never be found next to one another in a proper sentence. And I’m 100% sure that’s the case because I thought about it for at least 25 seconds before writing this post.
