That Jets stadium idea is stupid and so is this. That's like ripping down a piece of history. Fucking Bloomberg. He truly makes me fucking SICK!!!!!!

Just to be fair, Giuliani was the mayor who kept earmarking money for this project, even post-9/11, when the money clearly could've been put to better use elsewhere.

Having said that, if Steinbrenner wanted to build a new Stadium with all his moolah (which the Jets are at least offering to do halfway for theirs), more power to him. But he has always wanted the city to be the one funding it, so frankly, I say let the team stay in that big beautiful jewel it already has.

It's already had one renovation; if he's that hard up on luxury boxes (which he can never seem to have enough of), let them figure a way to build more in the current place. Perhaps by expanding the seating area completely around, including under the facade in center field?
