Jets To Park Haters: Drop Dead

After using Flushing Meadows-Corona Park as a negotiating ploy, the Jets’ and Giants’ joint announcement that they will build a new stadium in the Meadowlands that they will share has disappointed those who want to carve up the park:

John Puccio, co-founder of Bring Our Jets Home, a group that had worked with the Jets in recent months to build support for plans to build a $1.35 billion stadium in Queens, said he felt like “a pawn in a game to help the Jets gain leverage with New Jersey.”

“The Jets wasted our time and broke our hearts,” Mr. Puccio said.

So for now at least, the park has been spared . . .
