Most of the new york city elevated is that old. As long as you sand away any rust and paint it regularly, itll hold up.

Have you heard of Hudson Bay? How far is it from hudson bay?
It looks pretty close the map. So its not too far inland.

Thats around where the canal starts.
The actual portage was a swamp. It was only navigable after the rains in spring and dried up by fall.
You were on this.

I think the biggest struggle is that a MLB/NBA mexico team would struggle making the same money from fans. Ticket prices would be cheaper. It would have less valuable local tv deals.
Otoh NFL would work, because nfl teams share tv money. Only 9 games, means you can charge USA prices for tickets.

Mexico city is as close to new york as seattle is.
