Private investment will cover $550 million of the construction costs. New York City will contribute $90 million, while the state is kicking in $75 million.<br /><br />I had to send in a payment when I recently completed our family's New York State tax return. We know where part of that money is going. <br /><br />I'm all for private investment. If a team wants a new stadium, it should find a way to pay for that. However, I fully expect that cost would be passed onto me and others in the form of higher ticket prices.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12721902-114437823114339603?l=seepersports.blogspot.com'/></div>Steve Seepersaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184713215290903802noreply@blogger.com0
