Not bad...not bad at all!! and a Roof to follow!
Red Bull Arena taking shape!
Not bad...not bad at all!! and a Roof to follow!
Looks like it's going to turn out nicely. I wish we had a ground like that with a roof and real grass.
It will soon be brimmed with shite.
Shite!
Can't wait to see 2000 of us take over that stadium.

how many seats in that stadium?
seems odd to be jealous of shite...that said I still love BMO, as crappy as she is
doesnt that area look so appealing?
Awesome stadium ... hopefully this will cause envy across the league and force other teams to build similar stadiums.

I hate the Red Bulls but every time a real stadium is built that replaces stadiums with football lines in view is a big plus for the league and for my experience watching the games on tv. So bring it!
They'll never get the cranes out. They're too big. How are you supposed to play soccer around great big cranes?
So how many will be empty for every game?
Makes BMO look like a kids playground
^^ 22,189
I wonder if they'll have a specific section for away supporters and will provide a certain allocation per game.
They er, lift them out with even bigger cranes outside the stadium.....
Glad to see another footie stadium being built.
New York is hoping they can form their new defensive line. It's their only shot in 2010.
Stadium looks great, but what a shit area to be building it in. I mean, that beautiful grey river and rusted barn outside of the stadium add to the ambiance, but I guess land is at a premium in New York, so can't really do much about it. either way they have helped the MLS progress further by doing this.
I like it - it's almost like Glasgow in the background.

Hopefully they'll open it..with a game vs TFC..
no that would be a bad idea. Thats one of the very few times they will fill it up with their own fans.Hopefully they'll open it..with a game vs TFC..

Well to be fair, it's in New Jersey - so what can you do?
I think it's a great location. It's right next to the Harrison PATH station - which makes it only 20-minutes (4 subway stops) to the World Trade Centre station in Manhattan where you can easily change to the A,C,E and 2,3 subways (and the 1, 4, 5, J, M, R, W and Z subways if they ever finish the Fulton Street Transit Center - which seems unlikely given the shape it looked like last time I was there ...)
I have no idea how your supposed to get to the current stadium at Meadowlands. Some kind of bus transit through the Lincoln Tunnel I'd think ... but how long would that take, the traffic through the tunnel is horrendous at the best of time.
i refuse to admire anything done by the Shite Bulls, sorry.
It should be us or DC that they play against. Would be nice to bring 1000 people down for such a nice stadium.
Will Philadelphia be playing when the stadium opens? That rivalry will get the league a lot more exposure in the US media.
Looks like the same sort of area Toyota Park is situated in... industrial wasteland.. as noted though transit links are easy. If only we could get something like this some day..
remember also that it looks terrible pretty much everywhere right now with the dirty melted snow and greyness. I bet it will look awesome when the surrounding area is finished as planned and the greenery has grown in the spring/summer.
Yeah but if we got an arena like that, we either have to shift location or the city will still own it because no way will they ever sell of part of the exhibition grounds. i think our best bet is to let TFC grow and grow so that in time we get extended seating, a roof, grass and a grass training facility. at that stage we'll be in a kick ass position, and we'll have the history fo the ground to look back on and we can all still loive the same nuts and bolts we have always loved and rocked. Once TFC is big enough there will be no more discussion about other sides moving in. I can;t wait to take my kids to the future BMO Field and tell them how it used ot look with no roof, no north stand and only sinlge tier south and east stands!!
We are the Angry Mob, we read the papers every day
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed
I'm sorry but I think the east stand should stay single tiered for as long as possible.Yeah but if we got an arena like that, we either have to shift location or the city will still own it because no way will they ever sell of part of the exhibition grounds. i think our best bet is to let TFC grow and grow so that in time we get extended seating, a roof, grass and a grass training facility. at that stage we'll be in a kick ass position, and we'll have the history fo the ground to look back on and we can all still loive the same nuts and bolts we have always loved and rocked.

What good is a turkey if its stuffing is shit?
Is it just a coincidence that this stadium is looking more and more like a porcelein bowl
