The lots are asking for upwards of 8 figures...so unsure what happens...

- Start date
Can I correctly infer that the expensive seating will be on the shaded west side? As a guy with a h/o skin cancer, I want to maximize my shade at an affordable price.

Considering MLS plays most games at night or late-afternoon, I would think the sun will only be a problem for a very small amount of games per year.
You also don’t have to worry cause we will be playing games in February at 7:30pm! There won’t be any sun and you’ll be wearing 7 coats.

My rep said they’re more looking to integrate the stadium into the surrounding community rather than buying/taking it over.

At the Open today. Here is the view from Armstrong. 
Not that it wasn't likely before, but it seems like the Citi Field Casino is nearly a certainty now, correct?

Two Manhattan Casino Bids Go Bust in One Day

I’m bringing this up in the stadium thread rather than the Miami game thread because it’s more relevant to the long term conversation, and I want to prove a point about how ticket resale value gets talked about by the team. In every conversation I’ve had with team agents, they always bring up the high resale value of tickets like it is some sort of guarantee. I do think things will be better with the new stadium, since having a permanent home will create more consistent demand, better amenities, and broader appeal. But I also believe they are overconfident in the idea that I will be able to resell tickets for what I paid for them.
The resale market for next week’s Miami game shows exactly what I mean. Despite all the hype, the secondary market is so soft that people are not getting back what they originally paid. It looks much more like a one time bump rather than something sustainable. Resale depends on many factors such as opponent, date, location, and demand on that specific day. Even if a new stadium helps boost interest overall, if the team prices season tickets too high or demand drops, fans are going to be left holding tickets that they cannot move without taking a loss.
The new venue might improve things, but it will not erase the reality that resale value is not guaranteed. And I hate their attitude that I can sell tickets and get my money back. I think opening day could work that way but there is no way I want to miss that game

Resale prices will harden somewhat because supply will be more limited and also fixed. The Miami problem is the club floods the market with extra supply and that will no longer be an option. Even for other games, the current supply is greater than the new stadium inventory.
But I don't think it will harden nearly enough to compensate for the price increases, especially at the higher end but even I think at the lower.

Valid points. I think my frustration lies in their argument of it being acceptable to raise the prices because I’ll be able to sell them. Maybe I will or maybe I won’t. But that can’t be guaranteed.
This has always been the case in the premium sections of the stadium. It's better to just donate the tickets to a charity or school and take the tax write off instead. No way I get close to 70% back of value of any game Pitchside, even Miami on the home side.
In the new stadium with higher prices, it's going to be even worse.

I don't have access to the Crain article, but Thor Equities' Coney Island casino proposal appeared dead on Monday after three people with the power to sink the bid announced that they plan to oppose it.
The Community Advisory Committes for the Bronx Bally vote, must vote by Sept 30.
I think the Yonkers bid at the Empire Casino and Racetrack is still alive.
