It's been more than 3 years since they announced the franchise.  If they had a viable plan don't you think they'd have made it public by now?  Devising and executing a workable plan in a major Northeastern metropolitan area can take a decade or more to completion, with a few detours and dropped balls on the way. It took the Red Bulls that long after Columbus convinced everyone that soccer-specific stadiums would work and they sure didn't end up in Manhattan - not even Newark.  The Revolution and DC United have also been searching for at least that long and, finally, it looks like one of them may have something in place in a few years.

Belmont is a fine location for the Long Island commuting crowd.  They can wear their Islanders jerseys since I suspect many will get tired of fighting their way into Brooklyn.  The problem is that it will draw no one from Manhattan or the inner parts of Queens and Brooklyn.  The only mass transit is a spur line on the LIRR, which probably won't go over well with the urban audience.  You're right, NYCFC should probably keep looking.
