$TRIKING OUT AT STADIUM
By BILL SANDERSON
February 8, 2006 --
Opponents of the new Yankee Stadium cried foul yesterday
over the ballpark's price tag, claiming it will cost taxpayers nearly a half-billion dollars about twice as much as the team and public officials have claimed.
While the Yankees plan to foot the $800 million cost of the stadium itself, the organization Good Jobs New York says taxpayers are on the hook in the coming years for over $480 million in other costs.
Those items include $125 million to rebuild South Bronx parks, $70 million for new parking garages, $103 million in lost stadium rent payments and well over $100 million in tax breaks and subsidies.
Yankee President Randy Levine said the complaints about property-tax breaks make no sense. The team pays no property taxes now because it rents, and won't pay property taxes if the new stadium is not built.
The Yankees want to break ground on the project this year, and hope the new stadium will be ready for the 2009 baseball season. The city Planning Commission is to vote on the proposal Feb. 22.
