Brooklyn's Prospect park is in the running to become the official site for the 40th anniversary of the original Woodstock concert.
The Parks Department says it's been in talks with promoter Michael Lang to bring the show to Prospect Park this summer.
The hope is to attract 150,000 people, with headliners from the original show along with newer acts like Dave Matthews and Phish.
The show would be free, but Lang would have to raise $8 million to $10 million to put it on, and the financing needs to be in place by the end of the month.
