Best locations to build a multipurpose stadium including a retractable roof 100,000 seating capacity. 1 Belmont Park plenty space for parking and near highways along with mass transit. 2 Aqueduct Park same features as above. A multipurpose stadium is more suitable to play cricket, baseball, international soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, rugby, football, monster trucks, track and field. Bringing back the Jets and Giants to New York.
Parking for UBS Arena at Belmont is a joke. You can't actually park by the stadium, most of it is on the other side of the track. The mass transit is actually not very good. The track is being rebuilt, so their is no place to put a 100K stadium their. Yes you have the room at Aqueduct when it closes when Belmont reopens. Jets and Giants are not moving, even though they just built the worst new stadium. Willets point redevelopment makes the most sense.
@@Khanwick Building over a park is a no go. Don't think there are chunk of land big enough to fit a staidum in The Bronx. Yonkers Raceway is the closest that comes to mind but lacks public transit.
Red Bulls Arena is closer, on the PATH train, to midtown or downtown Manhattan, than the proposed NYCFC stadium in Queens, or their current home in Yankee Stadium.
No it’s not how many people actually live in midtown to access the path ? You can take the bus train many other forms of transportation to this stadium so stop being a hater 😊
The path train is inconsistent and idc what anyone says as someone who’s taken that train to that awful arena many times it’s taken me over an hour from 34th Harold square
They should’ve built this in the Citi Field parking lot or in Flushing Meadows Park. Willets Point should be all a redeveloped neighborhood with housing and retail with the street plan preserved. A stadium right in the middle kinda breaks it up a bit. A pro is that the stadium is a big motivator for finally redeveloping the area, so it being there is good I guess.
Even though it's a parking lot, the Citi Field parking lot is technically NYC parkland. The process of building on NYC parkland is long and complicated, and usually involves needing to find an equal amount of land somewhere else in the city to designate as parkland in its place.
@@stratus10601 That area should be completely that. The soccer stadium breaks the existing street plan, primarily the street that leads straight into the Citi Field bullpen. Citi Field’s design took that street into account and now it’s gone. That street should’ve been kept as a main thoroughfare or something.
1. Football is played in all weather 2. Its still a new team & arena 3. The teams value and revenue is still lower compared to European teams. With time, it may be possible.
@@hoodkagejames NY is not buffalo, people are not used to cold weather, granted the US season is in the summer, and it competes with baseball, but the roof can also keep the structure cool. also the roof would be needed moreso for concerts rather than games.They did explicitly say that the venue will be used for other than soccer events . Dont start talking about the financial side of the matter as the city group has so much that it doesnt know hwat to do with it. the only barrier for them is the local politics. Eventually ALL stadia in the modern game are converting to the retractable pitch&roof model. Here they have a chance to do it right from the getgo... alas just like the meadowlands they choose to build something that is antiquated by the time of construction. NY archetecturally is the most conservative and boring city in US. A lot of it has to do with codes, but a lot is the financing part - the arabs are using their own money , this is the only stadium that is privately built... i dont undertand them not going state of the art with this.
However, the New York City Independent Budget Office has estimated that leasing the property rather than selling it will cost the City at least $516 million (adjusted to present value) in lost property tax revenue over the 49-year term of the lease.
that is hypothetical if it was sold real estate developers that would build on the land. Its wasteland stop using hypothetical calculations that don't exist.
@@stratus10601 Nope there's no affordable housing attached to the proposed redevelopment of Willets Point. The city picked the stadiums over affordable housing and transit
@@RocketTrain-0 do me a favor and pull up an article about the project on Google or something and then back to me, because part of the stadium being built is to have affordable housing, it's phase 1 of the project
Just remember this, folks. ☝️ There is only ONE NFL football 🏈 team in the State of New York. The Buffalo Bills 🦬 (Village of Orchard Park, Erie County, New York). Also. There is only ONE MSL soccer ⚽ team in the State of New York. The New York City Football Club (Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York). 😃👍
Not putting it in the Bronx was a huge loss. The potential impact it would have on the area would’ve been greater than whatever they could do in Queens.
@@henrymcgoldrick4392 They wanted the Bronx first. The original location was going to be near Yankee Stadium but the property owners of the site wanted more money than they wanted to pay. There were multiple Bronx locations proposed and looked at as well before they said let’s look outside of the borough. My orignal comment wasn’t a dig at Queens either. A lot of people came to city games at Yankee Stadium. Third Rail went hard in the Bronx. The Yankees literally own part of the team so the Bronx made sense. Anyway I’ll be going to the games once the new stadium opens.
The City Football Group have experience dealing with contaminated land, when they built Manchester City's new training academy, the land they used had been contaminated by the chemical works that had been there since the 1800s, and they managed to clear 200 years worth of contamination. .
There is 0 chance I go to NJ for the NJRB. I really wanted the Bronx for the stadium since it would have been 3 stops away on the subway, but I go to the games at City Field also, and that drive takes me 20 minutes.
@ I'm dedicated to NYC! They suggest in this vid that NYCFC fans living in Manhattan might switch to RB because their stadium is closer. Ain’t happening…
@JoeyJoe-f5o I have been there. It's not a bad fan experience. They have good food options an parking. They could improve public transportation service. It's one of the largest stadiums in in NFL. I like it better than any indoor stadium I've been to. Football is an outdoors game. You shouldn't presume everything would be better I'd if was in NYC. CitiField is nice but only served by one subway line. These stadiums are expensive and take up a lot of valuable real estate. East Rutherford is pretty close.. Look how far out of Boston Gillette Stadium is. They make it work.
@ citi field has a subway line and a lirr line …. Met life has one line with a transfer … and the food at met life is the worst compared to all the other stadiums in the city
Essentially, you’re saying to magically bring those cows into a city where it’s impossible to find a construction ground. Keep in mind that their “fans” live in areas around their current stadium. Think about it.
@ I mean we shoudl have another inter borough or subway series rivalry. Also nycfc should have been built in the Bronx or etc and letting the jets or etc move near citi field
@@Khanwick Are you okay? Van Cordlandt is literally right next to a school, and is in the northernmost part of NYC, out of reach of many fans. Pelham Bay Park is literally on an island, and would be a horrible place for a stadium. Bally Links is very close to a cemetery, and people would still want to golf there. Not everything or everybody thinks the way that you think. Even though you think that those places are “unnecessary,” other people think differently.
The team and stadium is going to be iconic 100 years from now 🩵🩵🩵
I'm really happy to subsidize the Abu Dhabi Royal family. Now they can get their 25th Rolls Royce
Finally can’t wait for them to break ground!!! And will be visiting the stadium when Atlanta united plays there

They should’ve just bought old Yankee Stadium location and Macomb Park and built a multipurpose stadium there.
@@Treemaster89 In NYC you can not reduce park land. When they built the new Yankee Stadium they had to replace any land to the park that was lost.
Awesome, a new and first soccer stadium in Queens' new youk by Mets-Willets Point Sation the 7line 😊.

Everything around RBA sucks and so does taking the path.
They are a NewJersey team.
A soccer stadium in NY before the Giants & Jets have a stadium in NY SMDH
i mean they could have given that space for the jets and give somewhere in the bronx to the giants and nycfc,
The jets would have gotten one but that lame Knicks owner blocked it.
It's privately funded fam
Of course, they could build one at Aqueduct, but the State has other plans for the property.
@@guyfaux3978 whats that
I hope to visit the stadium when completed.

Why no retractable roof and retractable pitch? make it a year around venue (not only for soccer but concerts via hiding the pitch).

@@RoadTripTelevisionNJ nobody cares about the bills …. And there is no room in the Bronx for that mls team

About a million Hispanics in queens, their favorite sport is ⚽️ and beisbol,
