Do you fold up the stadium and take it to a warehouse the other 345 days when it’s not in use or does it remain in place? Asking for a friendWill the 7 home games, spring game and bowl game all be sold out? Hopefully? I’ll be there. That’s 1/60k. You’re welcome to join. Let’s make it a party.
Then you’ve got Futbol. Final 4. Metallica. Monster trucks. NHL all star game… all of which have a better chance of making capacity.
That said - the parenthetical remark in my original response was a bit of a hypothetical aside. Since losing a “public green space” is rsa’s main reason for becoming Westchester William Wallace, the point I was trying to make is that a ~60k-seat stadium (whose footprint takes up about 1/4 of the total area and which is only in use 20/365 days) does not take away from the public nature of the other 75% of the newly redeveloped state-of-the-art park.
Second point is that most people are missing an important point. The stadium by itself is a money losing machine. You will need hotels or offices or other non sport uses. Look at the number of buildings in the draft site plan
Third. There is only one William Wallace. That’s @LuCane
