Would kids be able to play at an MLS Stadium?
In a similar vein, the Olympics 2012 bid for NYC would've been where Hudson Yards is now, but was rejected over concerns about bursty event traffic (the area already hosts the convention center.) This location is even less able to handle bursty traffic, it's not near any express subway lines or commuter rail terminals.

(Dunno, I don't follow Chelsea real estate. I live in Brooklyn.)
