Frankly, shoulda been a Long Island Stadium, not a WSS anyway. But ultimately, it's on Woody. Just Woody. I don’t have a link handy, but my recollection was he spent something on the order of $75MM in planning, lobbying, and more - including pushing the venue as a future olympics site - to get a WSS done. There was so much pressure from so many well-connected residents about having the WSS there (oh, the horror of 10 home games a year!) and I loosely knew a couple of them at one time. In the end, it wasn’t happening. He didn’t have the pull, and the right people who were grease-able were already in Dolan’s pocket. I don’t know that a Nassau County stadium was ever in the cards or even though of or proposed to him with any seriousness. He could’ve done Queens, but he never really showed interest in that, whatever his reasons. Maybe it didn’t have the cachet of Manhattan; maybe it was getting called on his bluff of saying in NYC he’d do the WSS or he’s not doing NY. I know he’s got a huge farm-estate in NJ but don’t know if he already had that when the WSS fell through, and figured if he couldn’t have the premiere NYC stadium then he may as well live in NJ and split the construction costs with the Giants. Who knows. But he clearly wanted a WSS. Nobody sinks that much money and effort into a project but secretly doesn’t really want it. Jumping in to the current stadium was a last-minute thing because Mara/Tisch were fine doing this with or without him, and they weren’t waiting any longer for him, so he hopped on board. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanatic Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Anyone who blames Woody for the Manhattan stadium not materializing is clueless to the corrupt and beaurocratic government of NYC. Woody sunk in $75M and won the support of the Mayor and Governor and this project still failed because of the layers of corrupt beaurocratic nonsense invovled. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
