Soccer stadium at Willets Point? WHY???????????

Why this? Mike Piazza owns a soccer team and my blog is about the Mets and I dunno man what image did you want me to use?

Wait, we’re going to build a soccer stadium for a D2 team?  Not the NYCFCs?  Why would anyone do this?  Of course the t-shirt people might decide they like soccer so you never know.  Anyway this seems insane.

According to the Borough President’s office, the three discussed the future of soccer, including a “proposal to build a 10,000- to 25,000-seat soccer stadium in the Willets Point redevelopment area that would serve as home for the Queensboro Football Club, a proposed new team that would play in the United Soccer League, a second division professional league.”
