Proposed stadium for New York City FC
A proposed stadium for New York City Football Club is begin. According to sources the stadium would seat 26,000 and would be sited above existing rail yards. The cost of the building project comes out to $700 million, and would be expected to be complete by 2022.
At thr South Bronx waterfront is the kind of prime industrial space that lends itself and to building both affordable housing which the city absolutely needs it.
However the transport not as ideal as Yankee Stadium but with some tweaks, it’s manageable. The closest current stop to the stadium site a Harlem-125 St Metro-North stop and the 125 St stop that currently accommodates the 4 & 5 in addition to the 6, and will accommodate the Second Avenue Subway lines once phase 2 expansion is finished.
The key is with the new affordable housing development going up next door, expanded transit access for the area would be a nice for city and jobs opportunities attracting tourists, it’s so much more, moreover the NYCFC to have own home. Hopefully!
