Would TNA work in New York?

From PWInsider:

In regard to several rumors making the rounds this weekend, there's nothing to TNA moving their TV Tapings to the Paramount Theater in New York City. That venue, the former WWF New York facility, currently houses the Hard Rock Cafe. I don't know where these things start but logistically, that one is impossible.

Now, this thread isn't about this rumor, because it's obviously bullshit. However, it got me thinking, could TNA conceivably make, say, The Manhattan Center/Hammerstein Ballroom a secondary tapings facility? Maybe tape once a month from there, whether it be a taping or a PPV.

I say secondary because, considering a lot of TNA guys actually live in or around Florida, it would be silly to move their operation at this point. But how do you think TNA would fare up in New York?

Have to guess the fans would be brutal (but amusing) and that would turn Bischoff off from it.

Also, why HASN'T TNA run the Hammerstein yet for a PPV, TV taping or even a house show? Even before the Hogan era? Seems silly to me for them not to run a building with so much wrestling history.
