The thing is they’re not. That’s not what this proposal does. That’s just what they’re selling it as

There is no point to the park. It goes hand in hand with how ill-conceived the rest if their retrograde proposal is. It would be arguably very interesting to have some relatively small space within the station be a perfectly recreated piece of the old Penn, but this silly half sized concept is like the Disney Main Street approach.

Grand Penn’s proposal is not building half of Penn. That approach would be infinitely more ideal than what they’re proposing.
They plan to deface the recently renovated 2 Penn Plaza and keep Penn as a basement.
The actual interior design of the concourse doesn’t even look that appealing.

Ah, I’m looking at their renderings now. Certainly not the grand reconstructuring I was imagining haha. And yeah, that park is just goofy.

These renderings are just AI slop.

Based on the watermark in the corner, the wobbly backgrounds that look AI-ish are actually just the Google Earth 3D layer at a very low resolution. Good old-fashioned human-made slop.

Wow this might just be the rock bottom of all ideas ever proposed… why bother moving MSG at this point

The interior looks so dang basic, the facade on 2 Penn looks kinda weird, and the park looks like a type of copy of Bryant Park and D.C. in a way.

The park is so tacky—no normal circumstance would see a multi-billion dollar stadium take place just to make room for it. Unfortunately, we do not live in normal circumstances right now.

ai slop or just human-made slop. Their representation/design parti is a failure…..you’d think that for a group that espouses traditional architectural values and design they could see the absolute shit that their 7th Ave frankenstein would be.

Give Nir Buras a blank check and all will be well.

Instead of temporarily closing off Penn Station, they should permanently close MSG.
