NY to add 7 major pro teams
By Avril Fou
Seven new professional sports teams will begin play in the New York area in 2010, the New York City Sports Commission announced today.
Citing a major-league sports entertainment void “beyond the limited Yankees-Mets-Giants-Jets-Knicks-Nets-Rangers-Islanders-Devils orbit,” commissioner Kenneth J. Podziba said the metropolitan area would soon field four franchises each in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.
A floating island sports complex containing two stadiums and two arenas would accommodate six of the new teams, including the NFL’s Gravesend Diggers, he added.
