Giants, Jets: Tear the roof off the sucker
The owners of the New York Jets and Giants have fired back at New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine for suggesting that they put a roof on their planned stadium so that it can host Super Bowls and non-football events. "I will walk away from this project rather than put a roof on it," Giants CEO John Mara told the Newark Star-Ledger editorial board on Friday, saying the estimated $300 million price tag for a roof would make the already $1 billion stadium prohibitively expensive for the teams. No word on whether Mara and Woody Johnson would be able to scrape up the cash to pay their property tax bill.
