Would this really have an impact on Broadway?

Yes. I think it's a terrible idea. I've lived on the west side for almost 14 years and I think it will really muck everything up.

I'm Nyack-based myself, and driving into Broadway can unpredictably take anywhere from 45-90 minutes, so I'm personally wary of any other factors that might extend that time. Eugh!

But will this really help? I don't think it will improve the tax base( the only reason I can see for doing it) cos they will probably require all sorts of tax breaks as incentives to come. Admitedly the construction industry et all will benefit but thats a finite thing. its the long term view that is needed.

This new stadium has been thrown about for years. Every mayor tries to get it in so it can be a feather in his cap. It's a terrible idea because there will be hordes of New Jersey and CT fans trying to maneuver their SUVs into the city. There are congestion problems now, I can't imagine how bad it will be in the future.
