I really like the part about the Yankees NOT NEEDING a new stadium, but ONLY got one (not only got, but demanded) because the Mets were getting a new one.
The biggest advantage between the two new ballparks is that the area around Shea could turn into something nice, while NOTHING (not even a $2 billion dollar stadium and a $250 million dollar non-playoff-making team of All Stars) can make the Bronx look good. |
To say nothing about the fact that in order to do so, the Yankees and the city would have a fight with neighborhood associations and government agencies that would make the Mets battle with the Iron Triangle chop shops look like a walk in the park.
