BOO, Yankees!

Stadium deal hits homer in Council
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/406440p-344104c.html

"Mayor Bloomberg cheered the vote, saying, "This is a critical investment that is expected to generate considerable economic and fiscal benefits during both construction and operation of the new stadium.""

What about the community? The loss of parkland and property? All dollars and cents, but no sense. - Vox

..."Under the deal, the city will turn over 22 acres of Macombs Dam Park and John Mullaly Park to house the new stadium and its environs..."

Good deal for the Yankee organization (perhaps). Bad deal for the Bronx.

- Vox
