Potential NYCFC Stadium by Harlem River Yards
https://newyorkyimby.com/2018/04/exclusi...oject.html
Quote:The plans would rise adjacent to Somerset Partners’ assortment of new towers already in the works, adding another major affordable housing building, as well as the City’s first dedicated soccer stadium, with 26,000 seats, designed by Rafael Viñoly. The total cost is projected at $700 million.

RE: Potential NYCFC Stadium by Harlem River Yards
Other than a basketball arena, good luck getting a sports stadium built in Manhattan, even a soccer specific facility. They raised all kinds of sand to stop them from building a football/Olympic stadium.
There's just too little land and too many people, for both tourists and residents as well as migrants and workers from other boroughs.

I think you're confusing Harlem River Yards with Hudson Yards. Harlem River Yards is located in the southern end of the Bronx, next to the Willis Avenue bridge.

Looks like the advantage to this site in the Bronx, from NYCFC's point of view, is that the neighbors who would object to the stadium don't yet live there.
But, here's a comment from a stadium skeptic, Neil deMause of the "Field of Schemes" website:

Okay...they'd be still somewhere where land is hard to come by.

They probably should take what they can get.
Yankee Stadium is not soccer friendly and I doubt anyone is interested in passing out breaks for a stadium that won't even contain one of the city's more popular teams.
Not to mention, there's the obvious issue of land scarcity. How many realistic options do they have?
