Did you not read anything from the articles or the things you reposted from my previous comments above ?  Everything was as reported and spot on.  You are making my point for me.

Retro, maybe you didn't read the part about the land being owned by the state...you must have missed that part.

I live in Syracuse, that land is being used by nothing and nobody.

The reports were $495 million with a retractable roof, when adding a retractable roof to an existing structure the cost runs in the hundreds of millions.  When building a new structure the additional cost to go from a dome to a retractable dome has only been reported at around 2.5%.

You can put a tag on anything when you are limited by available funds and a budget.

I never mentioned ethics, that is how deals get done and progress is made.   Now what we have is your preference...Nothing,  Just as our esteemed Mayor wanted it.

Now Buffalo can improve infrastructure and get a new stadium instead.  Maybe their Mayor will push back with Garbage excuses but my guess is they won't because they're smart and want progress.

You want to know where your Tax Dollars are going, look West and buy a Buffalo Bills T-Shirt or look downstate and buy a Yankee T-Shirt.  You are supporting both of those teams now with new facilities whether you like it or not.  I prefer that my tax dollars go to a stadium for my team this time right here.

BTW - You want ethical, try constructing something with concrete IN NYC like the new Yankee stadium without getting your hands dirty.  Good Luck.
