Which local teams do you think need a new stadium/arena badly? I can think of a few like Islanders, Nets, and Devils but where should these arenas be.

I think Jets are really the only team in the tri-state area that needs a new arena.

They said they want to build one in the city which I think wouldn't be a bad idea next to the javits center where the train yard is.

Oh Yea, I think it's like 1 billion dollar stadium for the Yanks and Jets, but I thought the Yankees turned it down.

yeah i heard about that stadium deal too, but Steinbrenner wants the new stadium to be only baseball, if he gets one at all

and i think a sports arena in manhatten would be a really bad idea - there's enough traffic that goes thru that place now, we don't need to throw in 45 or 50 thousand more people into a really tiny area

Should the Jets get a stadium, it would probably be a domed stadium on the east side of Manhattan. Giuliani wants the Yankees to play there, but it's doubtful. The new Nassau Coliseum will either be a brand new arena in the same location as the current one, or they will just completely renovate the current Nassau Coliseum (That's a lot of renovating.) Charles Wang wants a huge entertainment complex that would be the center of Long Island. It would have an arena, convention center, shopping center, and adequate transportation. It looks like Newark will have the new home of the Nets/Devils. The most likely of these to happen is the Newark arena.

Sorry, I doubt they would build it JUST for the Jets since they would only use for 8 dates per year. It would have to be a multi-purpose arena/stadium that would accomodate other functions (conventions/NCAA Final 4/Olympics/SuperBowl/etc) to make it economically feasable. They would also need to make plans for mass transit and overall traffic that would funnel into that area.

Absolutely. They aren't going to spend a billion dollars (Estimate From Architecht) For 8 dates a year. But if you could get the Yankees there and maybe even concerts, you could get about 200 dates, which would be great.

You're right, it wouldn't just be for the Jets, but I highly doubt the Yankees will ever leave the Bronx. Yankee Stadium will be here forever and the Yankees will play there forever. It will keep falling apart and they will keep renovating it until it looks like a broken egg somebody tried to scotch tape back together.

If Fred Wilpon and Nelson Doubleday would wake up and stop thinking the State and the City are going to kickin 16 million each to build the new EBBITs Field then it will be built. The origianl plane was to have the new stadium built and ready for teh 2003 season..

The Islanders desperatly need a new stadium. The Nassau Coliseum is in worst shape than the Coliseum is Rome. :) Maybe Wang will build one for the Dragons and include facilities for the Islanders :)

The Islanders will have their arena around 2005. Wang wants to buy an NBA team for 2 reasons:
1) He's a huge basketball fan. He only bought the Islanders to establish himself as the owner of a pro franchise (I know some of the DEEKS out there are saying the Islanders are 3/4 of a pro team at best, very funny.)
2) It will help Long Island get a new arena. Think about it, you're a successful businessman sitting on millions of dollars. You're debating whether or not to fund the construction of a new Coliseum. Suddenly, there's an NBA team coming. I'm definitely putting down some cash for a new arena. This is the position where many Long Island investors are now.
3) Wang stands to make some serious cash if this pans out. Long Island is a sleeping giant. 20 years ago, the Islanders where selling out game after game. Those people are still here, they're just waiting for a winner and a new arena. I will guarantee Wang will make that happen in 5 years or less.

Assau e-coilisum needs the wrecking ball. But it isn't going to happen cause Nassau's finances are more fucked up than a fucked dot-com.
