Remember, in their original plan, they had the potential for lots of perks (land, etc). That's not here in this proposal.

See here's the thing. They want to build a huge sports stadium in the middle of a city core. Unless they want to completely privately fund it, they have no right to demand a certain piece of land, and certainly not within reason to throw childish public fits about it.

You want West Village? Buy it, clean it, build your stadium. Or build it in bloody Balzac if you think that will save you dough. You want the city to chip in? You're going to have to work yourself into the long term plans.
