The difference is that Frankie Two Times and Johnny Bagodonuts aren't shaking down local politicians for the contracts in Atlanta. 50% of the MetLife money went to pay for actual construction. The other 50% went to line the pockets of every crooked politico and labor union within 100 square miles.

Don't disagree but another factor is guys in the northeast wont work construction jobs for $16 / hr. like they do down south.

FWIW the design / proposal for the Manhattan west side stadium that Dolan blocked looked much nicer than that oversized air conditioner they built in NJ.
