The mayoral aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Tuesday the plans for a bridge across the Harlem River directly into a stadium parking lot and upgrading Yankee Stadium with 100 new luxury boxes and wider concourses would add nearly $250 million to the previous estimate.
But New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's press secretary, Cristyne Lategano, on Tuesday said Giuliani is already thinking of a fallback decision -- possibly a new stadium on Manhattan's West Side -- if team owner George Steinbrenner insists on deserting the Bronx.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
