Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's nearly four - year quest to build a Manhattan football
stadium that could spark the redevelopment of the West Side and lure the
Olympic Games to New York was defeated yesterday when two of Albany's leaders refused to approve the $ 2.2 billion
project.
«London won the 2012 bid for the Olympics, so the
Olympic stadium didn't get built in New York,» he said, describing the backstory of the Hudson Yards development
project where Vessel will very soon be a sight to behold.
