City officials overwhelmingly approved the nearly $800 million plan to construct a soccer stadium and affordable housing across from Citi Field. Fans are thrilled, but some nearby business owners aren't. CBS New York's Steve Overmyer and Elle McLogan report.
This makes a lot of sense for a city like New York where the population is probably more than half from other parts of the world that are crazy about soccer.
Soccer has come a long way since 1996 in the USA if they are approving a stadium right in the middle of Queens
Can’t wait for WWE to use this stadium for a summer paperview
paper view 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Paper view 😭
How about pay for citizens education
it's funded by the owners of the team, not like they're wasting tax payers money
Nice tangent.
I’m sure there is some public money being used or not being taxed. Most privately funded stadium deals get an exemption on property taxes so that’s lost tax revenue. But if nothing’s built there, the city gets nothing either…
Yes to soccer and housing. Walking path and park. No to gambling.
My 3 family house by the college point DMV is going to up in value finally!! Wooowhooo in 10 years it’ll be worth 1.6 million!!! Then I’ll sell it to Chinese of course.
Yes the Chinese anything LOL
@@keviny.9596 do you live in college point or flushing?
@@stavroslask1292 lol nope i wish :( i can't afford a house
Incredible! Love my borough.
Should’ve made it at least 30,000.
It will be it's Manchester city group you talking about they spend $$$$$$$
that's great for NYCFC that its actually in the city and not in new jersey like the red bulls/jets/giants. that will add to its aura and overtime it may become an iconic venue
Wait wtf? What happened to the Phoenix park?
I echo the same sentiments regarding the 7 Line. What is this going to do to that already very overcrowded line??
The fact that it has CBTC means that they have the ability to run far more trains than they currently do during events. Fortunately, if crowding gets that bad, the MTA can easily solve that problem.
@@jimgeo1000 You do have a point.
The MTA will eventually have to renovate the willets point station since it’s not capable to take in everyday passengers
Mets Willets Point is now a full time LIRR station as well@@jimgeo1000
The soccer clubs plays on Saturday night at 7:30. Not exactly rush hour. Yes there are a few Wed night matches but the MTA handles Mets traffic
how do you get affordable housing on top of a stadium?
About time, we all know how difficult it is to get a stadium built 🏗️ in New York. Need to hire better Stadium Architects! We want a new iconic looking multi-use Soccer ⚽️ specific Stadium 🏟️ complex!
These small businesses won’t be able to enjoy the success of the new stadium. Developers will kick out the local mom and pops biz. 50% of New Yorkers can’t afford rent and they think 2,500 units will help smh. Whole area should have been developed for housing
Not sure if it will hurt small businesses outside the auto body shops next to the stadiums. I would see more benefit as people will eat before or after the match in downtown Flushing which is an 15 minute walk from the site. Maybe rent goes up?
NYC is just jealous that all that World Cup money going to jersey
Not really. They have been working to get a stadium deal done since 2013 when MLS announced the expansion of the 2nd MLS team in the NYC area. Team began play in 2015 and the stadium was supposed to ready by 2018. They tried to renovate Columbia University's Robert Kraft Stadium, but there wasnt enough parking. They tried to build on the old parking garages by Yankee Stadium and that deal fell through. They tried building on the UBS arena site but NYS chose the Islanders over NYCFC. This stadium isnt even capable to host the World Cup, Copa America, or any knockout stage game of the Gold Cup because of its lack of capacity. Its going to be a solid MLS stadium that will take some friendly matches away from Red Bull Arena.
that stadium is not boosting up nothing around queens but the rent lol ..
I am very n super happy that we’ll b having soccer stadium for The first time on our whole years until now n later years… But I’m worry for the few people who still working there, replacing into soccer stadium. But I was thinking, if u replace their work places into soccer stadium, why don’t u build another store for them and that way they won’t be able to find it difficult job searching.
Bring back the jets
No stadium for the jets then huh😮.
In late 90s they tried to build the Jets a stadium on the West Side Highway at the abandoned train 🚊 yard. We voted 🗳️ it down, because there would only be less than 7 games and it wasn’t going to be multi-use, so no Soccer ⚽️ or 🎶 concerts.
the jets dropped the ball. smh.
At least call it by its real name Futbul
The name "soccer" is shortened from Association Football and was used since the early days of soccer to differentiate it from Rugby Football. Only in the last few decades did "football" fully replace "soccer" in England, while "soccer" is still used in many English-speaking countries around the globe.
Very Nice.
When they say affordable housing, they mean affordable housing for high income individuals.
...look afordable housing in Texas...completly new housing,it is not a joke...it is same,but it is not houses like in Texas but apartments...it must be good...God thanks and God bless them for doing such thing!
🤩
Wasn’t this supposed to be a casino ?
Separate project by Steve Cohen (Mets), other side of Citi Field
This city is a big f-ing joke.
You're just never happy huh
Fuck. I was anticipating a casino
Casino with public money?
Different project, other side of Citi Field.
I still want to know the definition of affordable housing 😂😂😂😂😂. But I do know it’s a scam, some places only require them to offer a limited number of affordable units that they get a voucher for in some cities. But generally none of today’s new developments are affordable to the average person. 3k-4k in New York 5k+ is not affordable.
Ridiculous. Imagine paying taxes for this 😂
They don’t! The Yankees ⚾️ are not paying taxes on Yankee Stadium 🏟️.
@@grayknight836 Sorry, I meant tax payers covering this. I know this is happening in my $hithole country as well.
Nice
Great. More crowding in 7 trains.
I took the 7 every day for 5 years, it’s one of the least crowded lines in the city. Don’t be dramatic Pauline
@@MaV0496 Wow. 5 years! Bravo. During pandemic times. I've been taking the 7 for 40 years.
@@Gwyllion12 exactly right - you expect the trains to stay as empty as they were in the 1980s? Get a grip, grandma
With all that revenue from this entertainment, our schools will look like this. And from all the taxpayer's money involved with Yankee Stadium and tax breaks at Madison Square Garden, our public libraries will look as good as this behemoth. Something to look forward to! Kids reading, grown ups learning, listening, composing, writing. Sports venues are the way to higher education. Thank you so much for building this, it will really help advance the knowledge and care our city needs.
This is crazy we don’t need this waste! Of space and money
It’s 100% privately funded, not with taxpayers money 💰 like your favorite NFL and MLB teams.
Quit being such a baby
Wasnt there a better opportunity for NYC with Amazon and AOC fycking that up?
What happened is she resisted them because they didn’t want to pay taxes. Ultimately they caved in and built it AND PAYED their fare share. So it was a win for her and all of NYC tax payers.
I see we got the migrants a stadium😂🤔
If you think Futbol is only a migrant place to hang, you clearly don’t know anything about the sport 😂
Will become one giant slum..
Keep telling yourself that
There are other more important issues where that money could ve gone instead of another reason for drunk idiots to overcrowd the 7 train at least 2 to 3 times a week, im 100% sure that will not bring in more violence and possibly murder in the near future.
You hit the nail on the coffin nothing but drunk migrants in the area ridiculous
Privately funded,privately 1:50
Not really. The migrants are mostly from baseball loving spanish speaking countries. Soccer is typically played once a week like the NFL, so a home game every other week, however occasionally midweek matches are scheduled. Most of the other migrants that do come from soccer speaking countries tend to not watch nor care about MLS and will hang out in a bar watching their home league, or a league in Mexico or Europe. This stadium will mostly host fans of NYCFC who are usually at least 2nd or 3rd generations Americans, the national origin of those fans tend to be evenly mixed. @@dreamsroman
@@johnsamoilis6379thanks for logical points. These people just take their racism and roll with their assumptions 😂
more money for migrants!
Should've given $500,000 to 1600 people instead lol most New Yorkers don't care about soccer
yet the team is always on the list of top attendance in the league
You clearly have not been paying attention to the rise of futbol and the community is gunna get billions of revenue
@@mambos8988 my statement still stands, most Real New Yorkers don't care about soccer
@@CommanderRick Tf is a real new yorker. Yeah sure not like there hundreds of bars and places for fans of teams from all around the world exist.
@@mambos8988 real New Yorker meaning born and raised not someone that moves here and calls themselves a New Yorker.
Soccer is so boring
small brained people can never enjoy the sport
what a waste of money just for 25000 seater stadium, what a pointless waste of money and time
Keep crying.
But how you approve that? I thought nyc is broke is why in June ya wanna start congesting pricing🤔🤔
did you not listen to the report? the project will be privately-funded.
Broke? Bruhhhh
Feel bad for the 7 train line
