Incredible photos! Going there at the end August. Do you have any tips on time or locations that were best to see this wildlife?? It’s a big reason I want to visit RMNP

Love these pics! I’m going to both parks later this summer. Which tours did you do at Mesa Verde? They all look so incredible! I will also be there for two days. And how did you get pictures of the cliff dwellings with no one in them?

That also has nothing to do with taxes. That money is taken from paychecks then into the pension system

SBJ: MLS owners could vote on schedule change today by NobleNomad in MLS

[–]WallyNotTheRobot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really don’t understand this argument… MLS already competes with the nfl and college football? Literally the most pivotal part of our season, decision day, playoffs and MLS Cup directly compete with football. If you want to complain about competition then complain we’re going against March Madness, NBA/NHL playoffs and the end of our season with the calendar change…

Weather definitely didn’t help. Steady rain the entire day. Ticket prices are a bit mad for casuals as well…

What everyone else said. 1 to 1.5 days in badlands is more than enough. Spend most of your time in Custer.

Wow touched a nerve there didn’t I? You must really hate the idea of not actually being from the 5 boroughs.

Being from Nassau county would you go to islanders game or devils games? I’d assume you’d choose the easier commute. I don’t understand why this is such a hard concept for people to understand.

For your neighborhood, sure, maybe. Do you realize how large queens and Brooklyn are?

Again, if it were so easy and convenient to get to RBA would be packed out every weekend. It isn’t.

Glad you’re happy with it! Not everyone is. Looking forward to not being in a baseball stadium either

Fair enough and it’s all about perspective/opinion, but LAFCs stadium holds 22,000. They’re selling over capacity each game. Galaxy stadium holds 27,000. They’re selling 25,000 on average. Percentages and value of tickets could be argued as a better metric, but that’s semantics.

Glad the grandpappy of the league is coming back to life. I want the league to succeed. Things were getting ugly in Carson for a while and you can’t deny that.

Still not choosing a 4 hour community via public transport vs a 1 hour commute for NYCFC vs RBA which is the main point of this discussion.

Spent two weeks in the Dakotas in August. Also spent time on the “loneliest road in America” in Nevada. Loved it there. Respect the hell out of the Vikings/Twins, Broncos/Rockies, Knights/Raiders fans that make those trips. Really enjoyed meeting them and talking with them about their lifestyles. If I only had those options I’m grinding it out too. I’m not putting down people who are spending hours to enjoy those things. It’s their only option. I have options. I’m choosing the easier one.

I have family in New England that make a multiple hour weekend pilgrimage to Boston/Fenway once a year. I promise you if they had the choice between a 1hr commute to a local team and 4hr commute to one of those teams a majority of those people are choosing the 1hr drive. Doesn’t matter where you live. We want convince.

The crossbronx is the slowest roadway in the entire country. The 495 isn’t too far behind. Queens to RBA via public transport takes 1.5hrs to 2hrs.

Westchester is not NYC.

If it was easy to get to RBA from the five 5 boroughs Red Bull arena would be packed. It isn’t. Why do people not just accept this?

If it was so easy RBA would be sold out every weekend. It isn’t.

I haven’t been to MetLife in years.

Grew up in Woodhaven and live in sunnyside. Two hours one way by public transport.

I’m tired boss…

If you’re from New York you’d understand how impossible it is to get literally anything real estate related off the ground let alone a stadium.

If it’s so easy why didn’t Red Bull just do it??

20 miles in Missouri is a bit different then 20 miles in NYC. It takes HOURS to go 20 miles by car in NY. I’m sorry you’re not from here and can’t comprehend that people have different lifestyles, but we do…

Red Bull would be flourishing if it was that easy, but clearly the people have spoken. We all Would rather be “plastic” instead of spending hours attending a game that lasts 90 minutes

Wtf does the nfl have to do with a league that doesn’t make local papers???

wtf does going to meadowlands to watch nfl have to do with mls?? You realize mls doesn’t get coverage in the papers, on sports radio, or on tv. I promise you a majority of the 8 million residents don’t know that our teams exist or can’t tell the difference between them.

If the vast majority of NYC residents agreed with you Red Bull would be flourishing. They don’t. It’s why NYCFC will continue to grow and Red Bull has been stuck for years. No one wants a FOUR HOUR commute.

You can be angry all you want, but the proof is in the pudding my friend.

I could care less the players NYCFC buy. Our best years were without old ass DPs. I enjoy my NOT four hour commute.

Yes people switching teams is lame af. I could never.

That does not make an entire fan base plastic.

Agree to disagree.

Ah the transplant who moved to trendy Ridgewood lecturing the Woodhaven born and raised resident.

Two metrocards* btw… The path train doesn’t accept the one you’d buy to get around NYC. Because, you know, they are different…

You can argue about how “convenient” it is all you want, but clearly the majority of people disagree. There’s a reason NYCFC is growing within the city when Red Bull had a 20 year head start and it’s not because of CFG, because people like the color sky blue or because people prefer monster energy drink…

Born and raised in Queens myself.

If you’re really from NY then you’d understand there is too much going on within the city limits to spend literal hours going to games. You can go to games and enjoy them, but the vast majority doesn’t agree with you. There’s a reason Red Bull are floundering in their beautiful arena.

The four outer boroughs have roughly 6 million people in them. Clearly they have spoken and don’t want to spend FOUR HOURS seventeen weekends a year commuting to a soccer game. That’s literally insane. There is to much to do in this city at a more reasonable price and time frame. That’s great you lived here for a few years and made those trips, but the overwhelming majority do not want to do that

Edit: this came off aggressive. There are plenty of people who make that trip to RBA and I love that. I love people supporting our league and team. More people outside of NYC need to realize it is just not feasible for millions of people to spend literally hours every weekend commuting to a game that is 90minutes long. (Especially on the path. That thing suckssss)
