nj meadowlands Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I'm glad this is being put up. One of my great fears is the Johnsons moving the team to America's hemorrhoid, Long Island.

Scott Dierking Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I had read that Sterling Company (Wilpons) are the development company. Expect it to be fraught with cost overruns, negligible accountabilities and petty bickering. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we beat New England (God willing - please) I am going to be so pissed off going to the Bears game at 7-3 because it is not in our own stadium on the west side of manhattan .

Yeah, playing in a horrible stadium with 70% of the seats in the upper atmosphere (so that the players look like ants) or in the end zones, on a swamp off the scenic NJ Turnpike, next to Xanadu (or whatever they call that horrendous eye sore now) with the worst parking lot design in history (so that it takes 45 minutes to get out of the lot no matter where you park) is so much better.

They will do well in a 25k seated soccer specific stadium in Queens.
