MetroTech was largely developed by his company, and the Brooklyn Nets (if the deal is closed) will play in an arena noty too far from there (a 10 minute walk.)
Ironically, the proposed new arena will be built on the site, proposed by Walter O'Malley (may he burn in hell for all of eternity,) for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

I was watching "Good Day New York" this morning (around 6) and they showed some folks who are actually against the building of the stadium. What is your take/opinion on the whole thing? I'm just curious as to what NYers are thinking.
BTW - I grew up a few blocks away from MetroTech. I still remember when it was first being built and the stores on Myrtle Ave had to close or relocate.
