Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park FAQ, timeline, and infographics (pinned post)

When "low six figures" makes the Times (a new Nets sponsor) and when it doesn't (the failure to hire a monitor for the Community Benefits Agreement)

From today's print New York Times, Nets Add Zippo as Team Sponsor:
The Nets and Zippo announced on Tuesday a sponsorship deal that includes courtside advertising, advertising on local radio broadcasts, and ads on the Netsā€™ English and Russian-language Web sites. The one-year agreement is thought to be worth ā€œlow six figures,ā€ according to an industry executive.
Funny, but the Independent Compliance Monitor Forest City Ratner was supposed to hire to oversee the Atlantic Yards Community Benefits Agreement required a payment of $100,000 in escrow, and presumably annual fees, as I reported Monday.

Sounds like "low six figures," as well.

Not that the Times deemed it worthy of coverage.
