The Empire State Development Corporation in 2006 said security concerns did not require an examination in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS):
Emergency scenarios such as a large-scale terrorist attack similar to the World Trade Center attack, a biological or chemical attack, or a bomb are not considered a reasonable worst-case scenario and are therefore outside of the scope of the EIS.
More than a few people pointed me to coverage reporting that a man being questioned in an FBI probe of an alleged terrorist plot had researched baseball and football stadiums.
Add to that the New York Police Department's (likely) classification of a sports facility like the planned Atlantic Yards arena in the High Tier of buildings that present exceptional threat, vulnerability, and impact characteristics.
