On June 21, 2004, the co-lead agencies released for public review and comment a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS) for the Proposed Action. A public hearing on the DGEIS was held on September 23, 2004, after which written comments on the DGEIS were received by the co-lead agencies through October 4, 2004. Copies of such comments, together with the transcript of the September 23 public hearing, are included as appendices to the FGEIS. The FGEIS summarizes and responds to all such written and oral comments in a new Chapter 29, “Responses to Comments.” Where appropriate, the FGEIS also includes refined and expanded analyses in response to such comments, incorporates updated information concerning the Hudson Yards and adjacent areas and, as promised in the DGEIS, identifies additional measures to further mitigate significant environmental impacts from the Proposed Action. The FGEIS also includes three new alternatives to the Proposed Action (in addition to the alternatives discussed in the DGEIS), including a new “Alternative S” developed by the Department of City Planning in response to public comments on the Proposed Action during the environmental and land use reviews. Descriptions of the three new alternatives are included in Chapter 26, “Alternatives.” All substantive changes from the DGEIS text (other than Chapter 29 and the three additional alternatives, for which the text is entirely new) are indicated by underlined text or marginal notations (|) for deletions. To facilitate legibility, changed Figures and Tables have not been so marked but may be regarded as new text to reflect the updated analyses referenced in the text. The co-lead agencies wish to express their appreciation to the many individuals, organizations, and officials who took the time to comment on the DGEIS and who, by so doing, assisted the co-lead agencies in fulfilling their obligations under SEQRA and CEQR in connection with the environmental review of this important planning initiative for Manhattan’s Hudson Yards. Introduction As part of the Proposed Action, the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) and the MTA propose to promote the transit-oriented redevelopment of the Hudson Yards area (see Figures ES-1, Location of the Proposed Action, and ES-2, Hudson Yards Project Area.), generally encompassing the area bounded by West 43rd Street on the north, Hudson River Park on the west, West 28th and West 30th Streets on the south, and Seventh and Eighth Avenues on the east, through: (1) zoning and related land use actions by the CPC that would allow approximately 28 million square feet of commercial development, 12,600 residential units, a new Midblock Boulevard between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues and significant new open spaces (Figure ES-3, Rezoning Area); and (2) the extension by the MTA of the No. 7 Subway Line from Times Square to a new terminus at Eleventh Avenue and West 34th Street. The Proposed Action also includes: (3) the expansion by the Convention Center Development Corporation (CCDC) of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center north to 42nd Street, including construction of a new Convention Center hotel; and (4) development by the New York State Urban Development Corporation d/b/a Empire State Development ES-1 No. 7 Subway Extension—Hudson Yards Rezoning and Development Program Corporation (ESDC) of a new Multi-Use Facility for sports, entertainment, and exposition uses on a platform to be constructed over the MTA Long Island Rail Road’s (LIRR) John D. Caemmerer West Side Yard (Caemmerer Yard) between Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues from West 30th to West 33rd Streets (Figures ES-4 and ES-5, Multi-Use Facility and Convention Center Elevation). CCDC and ESDC are “involved agencies” under SEQRA. As discussed below, the Proposed Action has been designed to realize—and would realize—very significant benefits to the City and State, both in the near term and the long term. It is anticipated that by 2010, the Proposed Action would bring the first phase of an expanded Convention Center and Convention Center hotel, the new Multi-Use Facility, the first new commercial and residential buildings contemplated by the Zoning

Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.
