The Top Ten Dumbest Reasons to Build a Stadium of 2005
From Field of Schemes:
1. ON A MISSION FROM GOD
James Caldwell of Brooklyn United for Innovative Local Development, a new community group that has backed developer Bruce Ratner's plan for a Nets basketball arena, called Ratner "like an angel sent from God" and said, "If this thing doesn't come out in favor of Ratner, it would be a conspiracy against blacks." It was later revealed that BUILD's entire $5 million budget for 2005 and 2006 was to be supplied by Forest City Ratner, the Nets owner's development company.
