10 teams tenaciously pursuing palaces
The Philadelphia Inquirer's "Stadium Scorecard, a ranking of the top 10 sports stadium projects," lists Ratner's Nets arena as "Probable" and the West Side Stadium as "Questionable." The list doesn't contain in-depth info, but is a good gauge of who's winning the PR battle for the sports reporters.
#8 New Jersey Nets
Highlights: Bruce Ratner, property developer and Nets owner, wants to build an office and residential complex in Brooklyn that just happens to have a basketball team playing there.
Status: Probable. The big league returns to Brooklyn. It's like Welcome Back, Kotter, but with basketball. Call it Welcome Backcourt, Carter.
