    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Brett Yormark notes that sponsorship deals are now paying about $500 million, or a little more than half, of the projected $950 million cost for the Barclays Center … and more are expected. The team needs to demonstrate revenue flow before it can secure financing for the arena. Meanwhile Yormark says in spite of news reports, “We’ve never been approached by any politicians” about a move to Newark.</div>

    I wonder if the arena will be done by 2010-2011 season... How is it looking?

    Absolutely ridiculous. The taxpayers should get ~50% of the profits then as well. But we know that won’t happen. Hey, they created some jobs. That’s enough!
