Outdoor warm-up rings are more viable in Las Vegas, which held the 2009 FEI World Cup. <br /><br />My previous point about temporary stalls is that they can be put nearly anywhere, on or off site. If they were off-site, then street closings would be more likely. <br /><br />Using the plaza is doubtful, since the busiest intersection in Brooklyn could get very lively for show jumping's top athletes, some of whom are valued in the millions of dollars.<br /><br />Trailering would naturally be done at night, but that will be the case for most arena events, since it is easier to get trucks in and out of the Metro area at night.<br /><br />I'm am struck by the fact that Grand Prix show jumping, a<br />sport so exclusive that even sports-crazy Brett Yormark knows next to nothing about it, has somehow become a "public use."
