>Build stadium in Central ParkProblem solved Amerifats
OK but only if there's a mean old park warden who confiscates the balls and a plucky, ethnically-diverse bunch of kids have to break into his shack (spotted underwear + denim overalls hung on a line next to a coal-fired boiler) to steal them back
but where can they have their barbecues on tarmac
>>154390558That defeats the point of the park.
>>154390558>Central Park Zoothey renamed Harlem?
Uh oh one of the Frick Collection escaped >>154390888
But the squadron of B-52s and F-16s flying overhead during the two hour half time show would upset the ducks
>>154390558There shouldn't be a stadium in Manhattan. NY Giants should be played in the Bronx in a football stadium next to Yankees Stadium or where Polo Grounds was. Jets should be playing in Willets Point close to the Mets stadium in Queens.
>>154390873How?
>>154391853>The New York Jeets
>>154390558based brisbane olympic planner
But then youd have to turn the rest of the park into parking lots, I dont get it??
>>154392054>how does a massive development defeat the purpose of a park?Are you retarded or just baiting?
>>154392436What's not to get, look at all that unused land begging for some concrete
>>154394990That's not an answer
>>154395636bait
>>154395636the rest of the park would be used as a parking lot
>>154396197No it wouldn't
Just build an underground stadium. No facade. Only needs to by comfy inside.
>>154392436Why? NYC has plenty of public transport.
>>154390558>going to a stadium on footno...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>154390911and crash into buildings, which new york has a bad history for
>>154392189LMAO freaked that body
>>154390558Where's the parking?The stadium is basically unusable for anything if you can't park your car near it>Public transportIf you like filth and getting mugged that is an option
>>154401785>Just build underground>In ManhattanLOLLMAOWhat do you think has been happening for the past century in that exact place, retard?
If you start this, Americans will just turn Central Park into this in a few decades
>>154404681Space dedicated to the convenience of our fans??? I’m going INSAAAAAAAAAANEE
>>154390835based beano editor
I don't think you guys realize how small central park really is.
>>154404761Sure is convenient when it takes an hour to get out of the parking lot after a game. Sure is convenient that there's nowhere to go to have a drink with fellow fans after the game. Sure is convenient that there is exactly one transportation option available that everyone is forced to use.It's an abomination of urban design. I know all of LA is like that, but it's not an excuse.
>>154405007Shut it pinko
>>154401985Too soon bro
>>154405007With that many lanes dedicated to ingress/egress I'm guessing the hard part of getting out of the place is merging into LA traffic. >Hurr durr there's nowhere to go drinking after the game1) You're presupposing that you weren't drinking at the game.2) You have the entire fucking city not that far way. Again the issue is traffic, but it's not as though you can't find a nearby bar if you want to get sloshed without paying stadium prices.
>>154405048Does LA have any trains or a metro?
>>154405458You know it does, don't be rude.
>>154405458It has a totally insufficient Light Rail/Metro. The Metro area is such a sprawl that it makes public transit largely non-viable, especially since people are often commuting across county lines (e.g. from Orange County into LA County) for work every day.The same problem is happening in Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale.
>>154405588Forgot my image.
>>154405007I’d rather wait an hour in my car than at a train station.
>>154405779>noooooo you don't understand there's a slim chance i'll see a gross person >nooooooo i hate socializing with fellow fans at the game
>>154406286good morning
>>154404681They should've built the civic center Frank Lloyd Wright designed
>>154406286You have to understand taking the train to and from the game = taking public transport at the most decrepit time and place you can imagine to these people. There is no idea that it would be 99% full of people going to and from the game.
>>154392436Yes YES!
>>154390558An Englishman designed Central Park, so they should build a giant Craven Cottage
>>154407990Basedt. NYC based Fulham fan since the McBride days
>>154406286>SlimIt's 100%. Every single train ride I've been on in the US has had at least one mentally ill person, panhandler, drug dealer/user, or otherwise giant faggot. It's a very common problem.
>>154404681what are the green bits for, sharpshooters to hide in?
>>154405616>go to los angeles museum of art>nearest train station is 1h walk awayWhy even bother with train at this point?
>>154408331>Be mega-rich Hollywood producer/director/actor>Intentionally prevent public transit (which poorfags, gangbangers and fent zombies ride) from going anywhere near your neighborhood>Keep your area exclusive and keep property values high, keep crime lowWhen you look at it under the right lens it all makes sense.
>>154390558Large stadiums are a drain on the community even in EuropeThey're better off in the useless outskirts
>>154408062It's a great stadium and a friendly club. The only time I visited was for a midweek game, so I never got to stay and have a drink with the Fulham fans
>>154407990I like the smaller field dimensions of Craven Cottage, it should be the standard for football imo.
>>154408552>Intentionally prevent public transitThis is the problem. The cities should never allow this.
>>154405588It's perfectly viable, more viable than pretty much any other American city. Because of all the mountains the populated areas are actually more densely populated than most cities, and there are dozens of extra dense urban clustersLA, like most American cities, had a robust streetcar network once upon a time, and I've seen some sources say that LA had largest inter-urban rail network in the world at one point, not sure how reliable that is though.
>>154406286>slim
>>154409535Who do you think donates to city council/mayoral campaigns?
>>154390558europeans just don't get it, do they?
>>154390558The Dodgers (and Giants) left New York because the city was going to force the Dodgers into moving into a stadium in Flushing where the Mets are nowThey didn't want the Dodgers using up valuable landIdk why Euros insist on doing so
Here's you game day atmosphere bro
>>154410368What's the issue?
>>154410383Lol
>>154410403Seriously though what's the issue?Philly isn't exactly known for shitty empty game day atmospheres so what is the problem?
>>154410368Sickening that the Union don't play there
>>154410368Looks comfy
>>154410521Yeah I only every here Philadelphia described as comfy. When's the last time you went to a fusion match?
>>154410368>>154410560Simple as
>>154410580The north is God's country, that's why they won the war
>>154410368Temperature rises to 313 degree Kelvin. Car sits there baking for 4hrs of ads, half-time show, players standing around scratching their ass. Finally get back to car to discover your gun is now fuzed to the dash. Get arrested for violating the second amendment.
>>154410660>>154410368God I love citizens Bank park
>>154410660>Temperature rises to 313 degree Kelvinso? we can afford AC here
>>154409926>>154410368Elon will fix this
>>154410985lmao remember when "hyperloop" was supposed to be a pneumatic tube super train? now it's a glorified overpass
>>154410368I don't understand how this doesn't naturally disappear in America, a plot of land for a house costs a million dollars yet they sit on these parking lots
>>154390558Zoos are immoral. It should go where the zoo is.
>>154411921Zoning laws, mostly.
>>154411921Zoning laws, city ordinances, but also most of the stadiums that have the huge parking lots do it on cheap land that's outside (or was outside) the city
>>154410368You picked the worst example lol those stadiums are easily accessible by quick subway ride from downtown.
>>154411921Typically these sites were formally rundown, industrial areas of a city. Difficult to develop housing etc so they’re perfect for sports complexes.
>>154409343According to FA rules there can be massive differences in pitch size, the only specification being that the touchline be longer than the goal-line.They can have a length of 100 to 130 yards, and a width of 50 to 100 yards
>>154413412I would go with 99m wide and 100m long
>>154392054Well the park would become a shithole overnight
>>154411892>lmao remember when "hyperloop" was supposed to be a pneumatic tube super trainThat was funny because it was so effectively "forgotten." I knew the vacuum train thing wasn't going to work but one day it just shifted to "we're gonna run our own cars through it" and you never heard about the train again, as though it had never even been pitched.>>154411921There's plenty of land elsewhere. There aren't many metro areas that are actually space constrained. Manhattan and San Francisco are really about the only ones.
>>154404681Imagine the scorching heat
>>154406286They are scared of their own shadow over there, nothing that can be done
>>154405048It just looks ugly, looks horrendously ugly, is a insane waste of space and the lack of trees makes it look like a heatstroke-inducing safety hazard
>>154414178It's actually fine
>>154410368insane amount of parking lots, thats impressive in a way.
