Two hundred million here, two hundred million there...
The price tag for the new New York Jets and Giants stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands has gone up yet again, this time to $1.2 billion. Last December, you'll recall, the estimate cost was announced to have risen from $800 million to an even $1 billion. With the two teams still slated to pay all construction costs, albeit with the aid of possible property tax breaks, you've gotta wonder if there comes a price point ($1.4 billion? $2 billion?) where they'd just, no pun intended, punt the whole project.
Mark my words the jets will be back in ny . The project will be nearly a 2 billion dollar project just like the westside stadium. Its a pipedream thats going to get bad.Maybe wang will buy the jets then because it looks like he is going to buy the nets soon and move them to long island

I agree - No chance for The Jets moving to New York. The reason is simple. If it's too expensive to build a Manhattan stadium in The Big Apple now - Immagine how much more expensive it will be in the future. They're better off staying in The Garden State close to NY range.
