You state that it's obvious that RW is trying to get more than is needed, and that they want inprovements that go far beyond the basics, but then that we don't have any idea what they intend to do.
They don't have to sign a new lease, I assume part of the deal is the improvements. If the state doesn't want to do the improvements, the team doesn't have to sign the lease. I'm glad they're using state money instead of county, especially since Yankee Stadium, Citi Field & the Brooklyn arena have all recently received state funds or tax breaks as well.
