Respecting the middling quality of their existing facility, and perhaps a belief that Midtown is not Canadian enough, Cablevision has apparently contracted Brisbin Brook Beynon, regional specialists in “entertainment architecture,” to spruce up the Garden. Perhaps I’m being unfair those particular Canadians, but, boy, isn’t that the worst web site you have ever seen? They must save it all for the boards.
The Dolans are promising to do all with private funds (which is interesting accounting; continuance of a 22-year tax exemption is considered ‘private’ money?), and they want nothing in return. Of course that nothing could be expressed tangibly, in the form of nixing the flashy new stadium a few blocks west. You have to feel badly for the Dolans, though: a slice of monopoly on television in the New York region market and a near monopoly on large event spaces in Manhattan, and they still manage to lose money. Oh, well. I guess this is what you get when you complain about the hiring of Renzo Piano.

Dolans threaten to hire foreigners. Hilarty ensures.
