I'd be very surprised if we heard anything official soon.Marine Layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515986023439927575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-1146432576518257032006-04-30T14:29:00.000-07:002006-04-30T14:29:00.000-07:00All quiet on the stadium front.

The last thing I read was that it was being called "Xanadu" and will house the Jets and Giants. As well as an indoor water park, hotels and i think a ski attraction of some type. Its going to be insane. Naming rights alone are going to worth 20 mill plus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-1146204747140260852006-04-27T23:12:00.000-07:002006-04-27T23:12:00.000-07:00I agree that a stadium in Manhattan would be prett...I agree that a stadium in Manhattan would be pretty cool but the price of land alone would pretty much make that prohibitively expensive. I think the cost of the proposed Jets/Olympic stadium would have been over $1 billion on it's own.<BR/><BR/>I've never been to Flushing Meadows (other than seeing Homer Simpson run through the field of toilets on that one episode) but from TV Shea Stadium looks like it's in the middle of a parking lot, which would make the Ebbets Field style park they have planned seem kind of out of place. Nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. Kinda lame, but then again if they plunked down a replica of Shibe Park in the Coliseum parking lot I guess I'd take it.<BR/><BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-1146202156507212292006-04-27T22:29:00.000-07:002006-04-27T22:29:00.000-07:00God, the Yankees and Mets stadiums are gonna be am...God, the Yankees and Mets stadiums are gonna be amazing. $1 Billion wow, yet from the design models the Yankee stadium looks like a classier version of the old one. Wouldn't it be great if they moved to Mets to the westside of Manhatten, a ballpark amongst the towers. I guess more big name players are goin to NY to play in those castles.drummer510https://www.blogger.com/profile/01276141988872232905noreply@blogger.com
