7 million NYers take the subway everyday.  Most of them DEPEND ON the system.  It is a continuing nuisance for NYC fans who cannot support a car to attend games.  Putting a stadium on the outskirts of the MTA system will increase attendance 10-fold.  I know its more expansive but it is definitely worth the investment.  Columbia, Manhattan College, and MANY others can do it...why not RBNY.\n\nPlease comment.

I would have to agree with you in a way. NY sports should be in NY, although, where would you propose this stadium go? I do think that NY sports should start leveraging available land and subway lines in Queens and Brooklyn.

People often get these kinds of taxes mixed up.  It is a special allotment that MUST be approved by taxpayers as an ADDITIONAL tax on a special proposition.  If they don't approve it, then so be it, taxpayers can contribute it in other ways.\n\nSpeaking just to the stadium system, I think it's fine the way it is and I actually think it works to the team's benefit.  The roof is one of a kind and makes the stadium special.  Who wants a stadium that looks like everyone else's?

Great seats...but like you said expensive.  But AT&T Park is so beautiful anyway, i doesn't matter where you sit.  Those are a great pick though...if you can get, go for it!

I care about it.  It's definitely not boring when you are in the stadium, and when you are watching good teams play.  In fact, the average score has been increasing for the last five years.  It should be more interesing than before.

It would be awesome to see the N.L.L go "fulltime".  As far as having a few more teams they did just add teams in Chicago and New York for this season.  As far as needing to stay economically feasable I think the owner of the league, "Body by Jake" needs to step up the amount he's invested in the league.  The guy is worth a billion dollars.   \n\nI say we need more.  More games on TV.. More highlights on ESPN (even if it's ESPN2)

I loved that game in Edmonton.  I don't know if there is logistics to it though.  I mean last year in Ottawa you couldn't skate the canals a lot of the time.\n\nDamn Global warming could screw it up!  \n\nI think the big prob is you can't have as many seats and like it or not this is a big business.  \n\nPersonally I love the idea too!

Frankly I agree that the 32 team number is great.  At fifty years old I remember when there were half that number.  I would, however, move teams.  The southeast has far too many teams in the conferences.  With the large NCAA and NASCAR schedules move one of the Florida teams to Nebraska or Oklahoma.  I would then move the NO Saints to Arizona, and Arizona to NO.  Neither owner deserves a team.  Bidwell can't do anything right and Benton is a disgrace.  Notice Benton's been so quiet since his problem plagued city sold-out his stadium?  If they want to own them, fine, make them move them!!

Although the A's are in a rather large market they are a small market team because of there low income. They have a lot of things working against them. There stadium sucks, they have to share the market with the Giants, and there is a general lack of interest in baseball in Oakland. Those things would all help a team make money if people went to the games but no one goes. They had the 12th worst attendance last year despite having one of the largest stadiums. They also have owners who arent willing to shell out there own money to help the team. Combine that with a crappy tv deal and the A's dont make much money at all. According to Forbes.com they had the 7th lowest revenue in baseball.

Yeah tell me about it.  Tickets are always supposedly sold out, but then you see so many seats empty at games.  And then theres those mother f-ers who leave when the game isnt even over! If youre a REAL fan, you stay the whole time.  Appreciate being at those games you ingrates.

There are already too many bottom feeders (I know I'm from Detroit!!) to expand to more cities although a couple more to make each conference have the same amount of teams would be the best situation.\n\nWith Canada having the CFL and Toronto already having a good football team, it is HIGHLY unlikely that there would be an expansion to compete with the CFL. (An interesting alternative to that would be to combine the CFL and the NFL... Hmmm would it work??)

It's been going on for ages.  I believe FIFA is going to start having empty stadium matches if it happens next year, I think they even threatened to relegate teams whose fans get out of hand.  There are some sanctions for doing it in the world cup, I forget what they are.  I think the team loses a point or something like that.

I am a lifetime Knicks, Yankees, Rangers, and Giants fan. I have never heard of Yankee fans hateing on Knicks fans, thats new to me. I figured all new york like other nyc teams, except for mets fans likeing yankee fans , jets and giants. Go NYC teams. Funny i'm from Jersey.

I am a huge Met fan. I usually follow baseball and my amazin mets through an assortment of ways (Go to see 4-7 games live, watch most on TV, listen to several on Radio). This year, a work assignment has me out of town from monday to friday in Atlanta (home of the hated Braves). I am seriously considering purchasing the MLB.com package and watching the games on the internet ...BTW, favorite Mascot is Mr. Met hands down...

I think this is an absolutely ridiculous proposition you have made. The beautiful game that is soccer will be reduced to nothing more than a pathetic farce. Let me explain why.\n\nEven though the spectators might be paying to be substituted on, there is no guarantee that they are playing for the side they are on. Since the opposition coach is choosing who goes on, he could very well choose a fan who is on his side. This fan would simply need to score own goals.\n\nAlso, what about the OTHER spectators, the tens of thousands of others who paid to watch a decent game. Who would want to watch just about any other Tom, Dick or Harry playing??\n\nFinally, let's say the match is a World Cup match. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if the spectator who joins the match isn't of the same nationality as the team?\n\nThere are millions more reasons to reject your absurd idea, security issues being one of them, but I suppose discerning readers and like-minded soccer fans will know from a glance that you are a somewhat odd man.

I heard about it, I would love to see that. they're talking it over now with the teams and with the yankees stadium people. If it does happen, i'm gonna have to try and get tickets to see my Rangers kick the islanders' butts =P

If it was just about the payroll, then the Yankees would win every year.  (Their payroll is almost double that of the Red Sox, by the way.)  I do agree that watching the game should be fun, although for me the rivalries are part of that fun.  It's a shame that some people take it too seriously and ruin it for other fans.
