Jets Adjust Design Of West Side Stadium In Hopes Of Expanding Support

Still looking to bolster public support for a West Side stadium, the Jets have revamped plans for the facility to make it more community-friendly. Responding to complaints that the original plan was not well-integrated into its surrounding neighborhood, the new design shortens the stadium’s height by ten stories, and calls for the addition of a 35,000-square-foot retail complex. Meanwhile, the standoff between the Jets and the MTA continues over the value of the land on which the stadium would be built, with N.Y. mayoral candidate Fernando Ferrer among those calling for the MTA to accept competing bids for the site.
