Was There An NFL Game In Manhattan Or Something?
Because I’m pretty sure the Philadelphia Eagles still play in Philadelphia:
Brookfield is among 40,000 entities that owe the city an eye-popping $149 million in overdue business taxes dating to 2000, the Finance Department says.
The list also includes the Philadelphia Eagles, the WNBA, Heineken USA, Comcast Sports, the company that built the Trump International Building on Central Park West, the Binder and Binder law firm, the OTR Media billboard company, former City Council President Andrew Stein and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
“We fully expect companies to pay any debt owed to the city and we aggressively pursue those that do not,” said city Finance Commissioner David Frankel.
It was unclear why the Eagles owe $15,263.69 in business taxes to the city. A spokesman did not return calls.
Then again, the Giants did play at the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium until Giants Stadium was finished in 1976. So maybe it’s from then?
