West Side Story
The Jets hope to build a stadium with 85,000 seats on Manhattan's West Side. The proposed stadium will have no parking. As a result, Jets president Jay Cross estimates that 70% of fans will take mass transit to the stadium and, thus, will not make traffic even worse than it is today. I wish I had some of what he's smoking. It must be some good stuff, if he can convince himself that an 85,000 seat stadium won't make Manhattan traffic worse.

Curious: What is Sunday afternoon traffic like anyhow?

Depends. Sunday afternoon traffic is not as bad as rush hour, but it can still be surprisingly trafficky. Especially if there is a special event going on in the city.

Or if the President [any POTUS] is in town.
New Yorkers just love that. River to river
gridlock for many hours.

Thanks.
I've only been to NYC twice (1964 & 1976) and didn't have to drive either time.

If you going to build an 85,000-seat stadium for the New York Jets football team , the best site for the new stadium is in Flushing Meadows Park near Shea Stadium, so we they can create many parking spaces as possible for tailgating for the Jets season ticket holders
