Nets one step closer to Brooklyn
The Examiner
By Josh Lobdell
Talk about being "conclusory," here's a story that practically has Bruce Ratner measuring for the drapes:
The New Jersey Nets are now one step closer to a move to Brooklyn. In a move that has had more than its fair share of legal and financial problems the Nets owner Bruce Ratner cut a deal that will eventually lead to the construction of a new NBA arena on the site that was once proposed for a domed stadium for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
NoLandGrab: Some myth-busting is required here — just because Mayor Bloomberg tells people that the arena is planned for "the site that was once proposed for a domed stadium for the Brooklyn Dodgers," doesn't make it so. That site has already been developed... by Bruce Ratner for the iconic Atlantic Center mall.
