consolidated lawsuits that challenged the bidding procedures

The Jets' $720-million plan calls for the New York Sports and Convention Center to be built over the yards located between 11th and 12th avenues and 30th and 33rd streets and is anticipated to cost upwards of $1.4 billion. The NYSCC will be able to operate as a 75,000-seat stadium or a plenary hall seating up to 45,000 people when used in combination with an expanded Jacob Javits Convention Center.

"Today's decisive Supreme Court ruling is a victory for all New Yorkers," says New York Jets President Jay Cross. "Recognizing that the opposition to the NYSCC is 'disingenuous,' the Court cleared the way for PACB to approve the project. We look forward to a positive decision at tomorrow's PACB meeting so that we can begin construction of the New York Sports and Convention Center – a project which will generate hundreds of millions in new revenue for New York and tens of thousands of new jobs for New Yorkers."
