More about the second proposed stadium (which is just accross the border btw)


http://newcosmosstadium.com/about


Quote:
This project called "Elmont Town Crossings," will transform two sections of Belmont Park into a vibrant entertainment complex, with a “Restaurant Row” of nine
new eateries, nearly 250,000 square feet of retail space, a 175-room hotel and the development of a brand new 4.3 acre public park for the residential community.


On the southern portion, the Cosmos propose to build a 25,000-seat world class soccer stadium, a youth soccer field, and a 4.3 acre park for the community of Elmont.
A pedestrian overpass over Hempstead Turnpike would connect the southern portion to retail shops, restaurants and a hotel to the north. The northern portion
of the project will include nine restaurants and nearly 250,000 square feet of shopping.

t is anticipated that the stadium will host event days 30-50 a year, in addition to existing park race days, but will not hold events that conflict with major horseracing
events such as the Belmont Stakes.

The stadium will also have a downward slope from west to east, so its profile will be no higher than 30 feet along the residential perimeter. Ample parking will be
available to accommodate both the stadium and NYRA events. There will be both ground level and underground parking. Additionally, Belmont is accessible by LIRR
and bus service. Once open, it is hoped the stadium will also host such events as World Cup and Olympic qualifying matches for the U.S. Men's and Women’s
national team, exhibitions between world class foreign teams, the U.S. Open Cup and NCAA games.
