Today, Speaker of the Assembly Sheldon Silver announced that he would vote no on the West Side stadium.

Anthony says:
 

“In the end, the West Side stadium failed because it was just a bad idea. And it’s been the Mayor’s single minded obsession on the West Side stadium that has put the Olympics in jeopardy. Last April I called for the stadium to be built in Queens. Had we followed that advice, our Olympics bid wouldn’t be in the dire straights it’s in today. A Weiner administration would build a stadium in New York City—in Queens. The other candidates for Mayor should make the same pledge.”
