From A Walk in the Park:
Just a week after Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber claimed a Flushing Meadows stadium was nearing "the finish line," a meeting of the Queens County Board learned last night the league was actually years away from having a finished plan.
Speaking after an intense PR blitz by the league, MLS President Mark Abbott refused to contradict his boss’ imminent start date. But it was hard to see how a realistic proposal could come together when the league had yet to locate an acceptable replacement park site, or develop a parking plan, much less find an owner for the new team or figure out how to pay for the stadium.
MLS is holding a townhall meeting on the project at 7 p.m. tonight, December 4, at the Queens Theatre in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, next to the Queens Museum of Art.
After a number of well attended community organized town hall meetings were held in opposition to Major League Soccer's proposal the league is doing a dog & pony show Tuesday night.

MLS couldn't have picked a more obscure location for their town hall meeting.
Will jitneys be provided to transport the public, or must one brave getting mugged in the dark on the way to the theater?
A big dog and pony show, huh?
There will be plenty of doo-doo, I'm sure...both, canine equine and political...to sweep up afterward.
Hubba, hubba...

Where's Alex Rosa and Irving Poy?
They run burro hall!
Hey, why soccer? I'm a fan of lucha libre. I just love those fat guys with the head masks.
I'm surprised construction unions haven't gotten on board with MLS. Remember how they led pro-stadium rallies for the failed 2012 Olympic bid?

Alex is sitting right next to Helen.

Don't worry. That will probably be the next thing that happens.
Let MLS use Citifield for a year.If they draw crowds,then build the stadium........
Holy crap...that's Alex?
She's gotten mighty long in the tooth.
