More doubts on Jets stadium impact
The New York Times' Charles Bagli weighs in on the controversy over the economic impact of the proposed New York Jets stadium, noting that the most successful stadium/convention center hybrid, the St. Louis Rams' Edward Jones Dome, drew only 32 events in 2003, most of which were either sporting events or low-paying consumer shows. Also in Bagli's report: Jets president Jay Cross now admits that, as we reported earlier this month, the stadium would be unable to host NHL or NBA All-Star games without an NHL or NBA franchise playing there.
