City Likely to Pony Up More for Yankee and Mets Stadiums

Fresh on the heels of news that the city's planning to pay double in subsidies for Atlantic Yards--a nugget Norman Oder broke on his blog--comes word that the city will also likely pay a lot more than originally planned for the new Yankee and Mets stadiums.

Mayor Bloomberg's preliminary capital budget, released last week, has $586 million in funds set aside for the stadiums, up from an original $360 million, according to the Village Voice. And this funding doesn't include tax and lease breaks.

Play ball, indeed.
