Stadium stiffs subway
The NY Daily News: Now that the $900-million dollar price tag of the entire Hudson Railyards has been revealed, columnist Juan Gonzalez takes Doctoroff and MTA to task for still trying to cut the Jets a deal by only having them pay for the physical space the stadium occupies, not the space given over to tailgate parties.
This idea that the Jets should pay only for the actual physical space their stadium occupies, and not for all the open spaces around it that are essential to its viability, is a novel concept.
Imagine telling a real estate agent you want to buy a house but not the front lawn or the backyard.
