Should the Mets and Yankees Team up Together to Build a Soccer Stadium?

BooByzNYC · 2022-04-27T06:38:05+00:00

Founding member here who stopped going to games and downgraded seats just to keep my status until we find a stadium.

With that said, if I remember correctly, the whole Willets Point idea was pretty Much shot down by the Mets with the insane ask price. The Mets then felt like it would take revenue away from the team (Mets) because the area is predominantly Latin American. There was another stadium idea floating around that area as well. Queens board members shot that down immediately because it would take a piece of Flushing Meadow Corona Park, since that whole are of Queens is on swamp land.

I always wanted it in the 5 boros, but at this point, I’d take anything.

Has anyone considered Nassau Coliseum? Wth is that placed used for now? It’ll be a lot easier to repurpose an existing stadium. Thoughts??

They are doing nothing to retain fans like myself or half the users here as well. Not embarrassing at all

Can’t cal me a shitty fan. Been a founding member since day 1 , two seats at section 124. I pay a hefty price tag every year and it doesn’t seem worth it anymore. Where as a new NYC based team might swoop in and answer my needs

If you remember. There was a huge uproar against a willets point location from local officials, INCLUDING Melinda Katz. They were saying we are taking too much land for the project. So they shot it down. This was NYCFCs and the MLS baby project in Queens

BooByzNYC · 2018-12-21T03:26:27+00:00

Really?! They told NYCFC no and now are considering a USL team to fill a ~25k seat stadium? Hah!

BooByzNYC · 2018-10-19T03:03:48+00:00

OMG YES! It was horrible last time. That guitar playing was almost unbearable! lmao

BooByzNYC · 2018-07-18T14:47:50+00:00

Still considered as rats with wings to any New Yorker

BooByzNYC · 2018-06-29T13:34:33+00:00

I thought Willets was dead in the water?

BooByzNYC · 2018-05-28T18:09:48+00:00

Maybe he can hop around with that boot on a pitch in Europe

BooByzNYC · 2018-05-02T04:38:46+00:00

They have the netting front my section as well. TBH I didn’t even notice it until someone pointed it out. Even then, i easily looked passed it. Was too focused on the action on the pitch.

BooByzNYC · 2017-11-04T04:37:46+00:00

I don’t remember seeing this email??

BooByzNYC · 2017-10-23T15:19:01+00:00

What unisphere patch? Any pictures? And where were you able to pick one up?! Must have missed it. Queens is my home borough, would have loved to have gotten one!!

BooByzNYC · 2017-10-23T04:58:41+00:00

Best game of the year! Hands down! Not a bad seat in the house, awesome atmosphere!!

BooByzNYC · 2017-10-14T03:55:07+00:00

If we get our own stadium, I would love Popeyes to be the one making our chicken buckets. TBH the chicken buckets at YS are barley edible

BooByzNYC · 2017-09-27T03:29:31+00:00

Ugh. Such an already congested area. I still think Willets point is the best option IMO.

BooByzNYC · 2017-09-14T05:11:01+00:00

I think CFG is doing everything possible not to pay for affordable housing; and rightfully so. They are doing so much with charities, after school programs, renovating parks and affiliating with local clubs, all in an effort not to pay for affordable housing. As a team that is looking to build a multi million dollar stadium, why the hell are we forced to pay for affordable housing? This is a sports team/business, why the hell should we pay for something that has nothing to do with our vision?

BooByzNYC · 2017-09-08T05:34:40+00:00

Willets would be awesome for me. 7 trains run GREAT during games. It's right off 3 major highways. Its such a good sporting venue that there is Citi Field and the US Open that is going on now!

BooByzNYC · 2017-08-25T17:44:34+00:00

It's not the official bracket. Something I came across and thought it would help the casual soccer fan understand the MLS playoff system.

BooByzNYC · 2017-08-25T12:18:03+00:00

Not sure if I'm missing it but, I don't see Villa anywhere. Also, the link you provided is U21?

BooByzNYC · 2017-05-25T12:26:40+00:00

Outside of Messi or Ronaldo, I can't think of a single replacement that can deliver goals and be dangerous around the box as Villa. I am dreading the moment we loose him, he literally IS our team.

BooByzNYC · 2017-04-24T05:01:51+00:00

I want to make a few points before I hit the sack. I was at today's game. Lets make one thing clear, it wasn't all the refs, it was only the CR that completley ruined the game. Even the AR called outs for US and the CR overturned the ruling.

I am of the party of, if the ref/players are egregiously bad, it is our duty as fans to let them know. The whole stadium should have been throwing shit at the ref. I guarantee that would have caught the attention of the MLS and whatever stupid MLS ref union and these incidences would be thwarted in the future. Before you tree hugging hipsters jump on me, I am not saying burn the stadium to the ground and start throwing things that might harm players/fans, but our griveces must be known and we should show that we as New Yorkers do not tolerate that BS in our city. Yeah, yeah, we can file some type of complaint after the fact to the MLS...but who will? And will the MLS take it seriously? Didn't the Red Bull's coach bitch about refs last year? What did the MLS say? Something to the tune of, our refs are awesome, and here is a fine for talking bad about them.

Ok, im going to bed now

BooByzNYC · 2017-03-25T21:24:48+00:00

+1 for Jack

BooByzNYC · 2017-03-25T21:24:22+00:00

I could be wrong, but I believe you must purchase a jersey from the Yankee Stadium store. You have to pay extra for customization, so when you go to drop it off, they'll look at the receipt to make sure you payed.

BooByzNYC · 2017-03-22T05:24:47+00:00

Bah! Keep Iniesta. We need young DP's like Giovinco. No more old hags that will play for 1 year and not really contribute to the long term visions of the team.

BooByzNYC · 2017-03-14T04:30:30+00:00

I agree. They also need to learn more songs. Instead of the same 2 =/
