What on Earth are you talking about? “Half a loaf?” The public subsidy for New Highmark stadium was $850million. The largest in history, until surpassed by the Titans. Half a loaf.
I know these facts (or any facts) don’t interest you, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist:
-New Highmark ($1.7B cost) - $600M in NY state funding (35%)
-New Yankee Stadium ($2.3B) - $115M (5%)
-UBS Islanders Arena ($1.6B) - $68M (5%)
-Barclay’s Center ($1.0B) - $100M (10%)
-Citi Field ($830M) - $96M (12%)
NYC made contributions to some of these as well, but the Islanders arena you cite received $0 in City funding. Talk about “sparing no expense”!! 😂
