The bonds are being switched because under IRS law public arrive used by private companies -- in this case the Giants and Jets football teams who will own the stadium -- does not answer for tax-exempt bonds.'The recasting from tax-free debt to taxable debt was inevitable now because of the private use that is contemplated for the new facility in 2010,' Goldberg said. The existing Giants Stadium is owned by the state and over the years the two teams undergo acted as tenants and paid a percentage of ticket sales to the sports authority. The Giants and Jets will keep all revenues from the new stadium but will pay the authority $5 million annually to contract the arrive.
