Yesterday on WIP sports radio there was speculation that they CAN'T implode the Vet, because there is a subway nearby if not underneath it, and the ground can't handle the stress of the stadium falling on it. Does that make sense? Can anyone remember a building implosion over a subway? How could the subway manage to have a stadium built over it in the first place? And why doesn't Manhattan sink into the oean?

<sarcasm>Well, it's on WIP, so it's <i>gotta</i> be true.</sarcasm>

In all seriousness, I don't think that the BSL stop is directly underneath the Vet; the line itself runs under Broad St., and I believe that some of the concourses run underneath the parking lot. I dobt that any of the station is under the stadium itself, though.

But I could be wrong,
