PATRIOTS ADVERSARY FINNERAN OFFERS REVISED STADIUM BILL
Published November 17, 1997
In an "unexpected turn of events," MA House Speaker
Thomas Finneran Friday unveiled a revised bill for helping
the Patriots rebuild Foxboro Stadium that calls for the
state to spend $52M to improve infrastructure around the
facility in return for $2M in annual parking fees, according
to Tina Cassidy of the BOSTON GLOBE. Finneran, on Patriots
Owner Robert Kraft: "He can take it or leave it." But in
the revised bill, a plan for the state to pay Kraft $20M for
land surrounding the stadium was eliminated. The MA House
could vote on the plan this week. The team said it would
review the bill before commenting (BOSTON GLOBE, 11/15).
