"Unless we build the Sports and Convention Center, New York won't get the Super Bowl and will lose out on hundreds of jobs, more than $200 million in economic activity and nearly $30 million in tax revenue," Mr. Bloomberg said in a written statement from Israel, where he is leading an American delegation to celebrate the opening of a new Holocaust museum.

It being in Manhattan has LITTLE TO DO WITH IT!
