Leaked pics show stadium of Manchester City’s New York team





Manchester City surprised a lot of people in football when they announced they were launching a new Major League Soccer team back in May - a joint venture which they entering into with the New York Yankees.

New York City Football Club will enter the MLS from the start of the 2015 season, and while it was originally suggested that they would be based at a new ground in Corona Park, Queens, it now seems that they could have a much more prestigious address: Manhattan.

The proposed venue, according to a report at Sportsgrid, is said to be Pier 40, located on the west side of Manhattan island close to Soho and Greenwich Village.

As global warming progresses, they can turn it into a dike to turn back the floods or simply a swimming pool. Now, aren't those guys smart for setting the stadium right on the Hudson!

Manhattanites (below 96th St.) can play the NIMBY game as well as any suburbanites.
