Stadium Discussion

[Buckley]

Don’t kill the messenger, just sharing:

I'm a couple sources removed so reluctant to share, but I want to share what I'm hearing. A direct quote from today:

"My buddy at work just [spoke] w/ the new #NYCFC CEO & he says the stadium deal is done, just waiting to be announced publicly. I think it's the Bronx spot." #MLS

— Chávez (Apostate Radio) (@NostraChavez) May 20, 2019

I highly, highly, highly doubt Brad Sims would tell someone's "buddy at work" that the stadium "deal is done" prior to going public about it. Those would be some pretty loose lips from the top.

It's not like Sims is working in a bubble and is the only one with knowledge about stadium shit.

The tweet said the NYCFC CEO was the source.

The tweet said the NYCFC CEO was the source.

It's an odd quote for sure. Even after you break down that Sims would be the source, the quote is "my buddy at work spoke with...", implying that the info went from Sims to the Chavez's source's "buddy". So Chavez would be at least 3 people removed.

But then, the direct quote says, "I think its the Bronx spot.", which would not be the individual who spoke with Sims thinking that, but the middle-man between Chavez and the actual person who supposedly spoke with Sims.

Never believe Crooks. In fact if he said that, someone on the team told him to. Which could mean subterfuge.

Soccer specific stadium to NYCFC confirmed.

An actual stadium announcement, like a physical, on site ground breaking will be quite interesting with the cast of characters that should be set to attend. Particularly with de Blasio and his presidential bid.

They are calling on all of their mouthpieces today! Club must be spooked by this leak.

Pirlo just tweeted a similar message.

1) I also find it interesting that someone was proactive in telling Ian and Glenn there was a false rumor

2) Let me know when NYCFC books the Bronx Community Center (is that a thing) for a major announcement

Weirdly, this makes me way more optimistic. Implicit confirmation from the club that there's a deal sensitive enough to be disrupted by rumors, accurate or not. They wouldn't give two shits if nothing was going on behind the scenes.

Can someone post the link to the meeting notes again for me please? I’m having trouble going back far enough in the thread to find them.

I want to check something.

Right here. Odd he decided to take a picture like that, but whatever.

Here it is.

Thank you 413Blue

It’s interesting that Councilmember Ayala is in the 8th district.

Do we know how many other locations the Bronx Parking Development Co operate besides the ones near Yankee Stadium?
