City officials say Forest Hills Stadium deal reached, but neighbors push back
Forest Hills Stadium received the city's approval for its 2025 concert season, set to begin May 31.
A long-running dispute over noise and street closures between the stadium and some Forest Hills residents prompted the need for a deal.
Tiebreaker Productions agreed to hire private security to manage street closures, a key condition for the NYPD to issue a sound permit.
The Forest Hills Gardens Corporation stated in a March 19 letter that "the NYPD is not permitted to close the privately-owned streets adjacent to the Stadium."
Despite the agreement, FHGC maintains its opposition, urging mediation to return to the pre-2023 status quo, while Richards seeks long-term solutions.
