Not appropriate for this site. Park belongs to all the people, not to a small group of people.

This will increase traffic, pollution, and trash and prevent the local community from being able to have full access to our primary park.

The park is a unique place for families to enjoy an open space without any restrictions.

I believe the stadium should not be erected unless there can be adequate restitution and enrichment for the impacted park users and the surrounding community. Adequate studies of the infrastructure and how it would all work need to be conducted and shared with the Bronx community surrounding VCP. .

The stadium would have a very negative impact on our community park! The trash that would be deposited on our streets would be unacceptable. A proposed astroturf surface poses a higher risk of leg injuries. It’s just such a bad idea!

I don’t believe the ICC analysis that projects the stadium will bring $162 million in revenue, including $129 million for The Bronx, I’m not feeling very confident in the analysis.

I don’t see a detailed enough plan on how VCP will be restored to its previous beauty after the season is finished.

This is the worst proposed (and very illegal) misuse of public parkland I have seen in 50 years. It is a flagrant and infamous violation of the Public Trust Doctrine. If the City fails to reverse course here, litigation against it will be swift and decisive.

This plan will directly adversely impact the local taxpayers for a prolonged period of time for negligible benefits

We don't need excessive amounthe excessive amount of cars that are gonna be in the neighborhood period I guess the mayor thinks it's a good idea because the more cars. Why don't they do it in Central Park? They got plenty of space, and transportation is so much easier to get there than it is for Van Courtland park.

Too congested. There's already no parking.

Van Cortlandt Park should remain for the people in Bronx. A stadium will remove others from summer and winter activities. Please find another location for the stadium
