I've notice that all of the NYC's boroughs have at least one major league sports franchise except for Staten Island. Manhattan- Knicks, Rangers; Bronx- Yankees; Brooklyn- Nets; Queens- Mets; Staten Island- None.
Do any of you think it's time for Staten Island to have a major league team once again like it did from 1915-1935 with an NFL franchise called the "Staten Island Stapletons"? Keep in mine that Staten Island's population has grown a lot since that time period.
I'd rather not. The Staten Island Yankees are enough. They draw nice crowds at each of their games and everyone has a good time because of the more relaxed atmosphere and lower costs.
I was a big proponent of relocating the Islanders to Staten Island.
We could have had Nascar. I was against Nascar at the time because I felt the land could have been better used if it was made in to an industrial & corperate park. However with tolls the way they are & no end in sight that will never happen.
only if the staten islanders agree to an equal-priced toll in each direction on the verrazano bridge to help ease the traffic problems in lower manhattan.

We had that once, with EZ pass I wouldn't be oppossed to it again. It would keep the NJ people off the Island as well during the AM rush hour trying to get in to Manhattan.
Not lately. I haven't been to Staten Island in a while. I thought the ferry system was pretty good and I'm also used to doing transfers but I could see how some people might be little more hesitant to do that. When I visit NYC I'm usually in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
