Syracuse Stadium Faces 3 Million Shortfall Plan
Syracuse officials plan to replace 59 year old Macarthur Stadium with a multipurpose facility adjacent to North A. Local leaders pressed Albany lawmakers for funds contending the state could provide up to 30 million over two years for minor league stadiums and a new arena for the Buffalo Sabres. Stakeholders include Onondaga County, the Chiefs, the Blue Jays, and UDC. Governor Cuomo opposes new stadium bonds.
