They spent nearly a billion dollars on the last remodel. The city council only granted a 10 year permit, when MSG wanted an indefinite one. The problem is that Penn Station underground is a mess, and the passenger railroads want an above ground part of the station similar to the old Beaux-Arts building torn down in the 60s. After that was torn down, there was a movement to keep Grand Central Terminal from being torn down. If it goes down, Pennsylvania Plaza will probably also go.

I guess location is important. However, most of the major sports venues in the Bay Area have poor locations for transportation. SAP Center does have public transportation, but parking is horrible. It's worse at AT&T Park. And Levi's Stadium was a massive mistake.

Strangely enough, possibly the best location in the Bay Area is Oakland. It's right next to the freeway, with BART and Amtrak right there. All major (and some relatively minor) sports have been there, including NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, USFL, and even MISL. There's also the possibility that no teams will be there within a few years, with all the current teams discussing moving.

I've never had a problem with the SAP parking. I either pay the $20 or whatever or I walk a couple of blocks. What's the problem?

Poor freeway access.

Whew I was worried with the penalty against Lovejoy, but the Pens were phenominal on killing that power play.

LET'S GO PENS!!!

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

The Sharks will be ready next game. They only need to win one in Pitt - and sweep at home!

@SharonZ what a fun game to be at!

It's always fun to see them close out the series at home.

Yesterday was just exciting, I had the SCF patch put on my jerseys - it's now official!

 

[bcla]

OT. Feeling pretty anxious.

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

I'm going to vomit.

 

[bcla]

Damn.

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

I can't say what I just screamed. I hate the Pens...and a vast majority of their fans.

The Sharks played like absolute crap. It's actually pretty poor of the Pens to barely squeek out a victory, but in the end, they got the win. Sydney still sucks though. He's such a pansy.

 

[CPanther95]

2 down.

Lovin' all the envy!

 

[roliepolieoliefan]

Don't hate on us because we're 2-0
I agree Lovin all the envy

Let's Go Pens!!!!!

I was responding as childlike as your post about how the Pens didn't deserve the win and how Crosby is a pansy.
