Final Site Decision

Site IV Analysis :
http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8382924396817571991#allposts

I have chosen site 4 as my final location. Being the biggest more spacious site of them all, I think it provides me great opportunities to explode my imagination. Knowing that I want to design a sports complex facility, space would be a key factor throughout my design. This site also offers me amazing views to the tip of southern Manhattan, which I strongly want to highlight and make a focus point as well.
