But I can also see the value in having a stadium on the site, not that I at all agree with it.

The Dolans considered even Farley to be too far removed from the best transit. That’s not completely wrong either. The current site maximizes the available transit options - railroad, subway, PATH. The western yards is far removed in that context, and the signage - a big deal then - would be lost from the major Avenue. (They weren’t going to be permitted to put MSG signage on Farley). Then there’s the issue of approvals. Even what would have been a relatively unused stadium drew up firestorm opposition. The Garden is active daily.
