NYI 41-Day Tenant In Cuomo-Dolan Belmont Ponzi Scheme Arena
Bottom line it's Dolan's arena, the arena he failed to win vs Ratner in 2013 so this is revenge. At best NYI will be in the same situation they were when the Philadelphia Flyers/Smg operated the Nassau Coliseum, but this time it will be without Nassau County owning building, NYS/Cuomo leased the land for pennies on the dollar.
And this time you can bet there will be plenty of out clauses. Dolan's Newspaper has sold this like a marketing campaign for Dolan, same as we saw to stop 2011 arena vote, and get Dolan the Coliseum bid in 2013.
