Re. SBJ in Sept 10, Yankees Global Enterprises was carrying $3.2 billion of debt. 1.2 of that was on the bonds sold to finance the new stadium. Of the remaining 2, most was attached to YES and Legends Hospitality. $97 million "resides at the team" - Pete Toms Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:01:31 +0100 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5593:lwib-part-ii-are-the-wilpons-and-katz-keeping-the-mets-plus-tidbits&catid=67:pete-toms&Itemid=155#comment-3934 Isn't the Steinbrenners' debt amount similar? I believe they have about a billion in debt with the club and YES. I guess the big difference is the Mets losing money every season and the Yankees making money hand over fist. - Plank Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:13:34 +0100 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5593:lwib-part-ii-are-the-wilpons-and-katz-keeping-the-mets-plus-tidbits&catid=67:pete-toms&Itemid=155#comment-3933 Howard Megdal politely pointed out that I missed, by a BIG number, the amount of debt that the Mets owners have piled up. According to a December piece in the NY Times by Richard Sandomir, they owe $430 million against the club and another $450 million against SNY. - Pete Toms Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:37:06 +0100
