"The association alleges that the city has already shown unwillingness to follow the letter of the organization's 99-year lease for the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center by allowing the New York Mets to play home games during the 23 days of the U.S. Open, in violation of a superiority clause in the agreement that restricts competing events and gives the association control over concessions and parking at the site during the tournament."
"The city has failed to provide assurances that the superiority clause will be included in a binding agreement between City Hall and Queens Future, a Cohen-controlled LLC formed to develop Metropolitan Park. The threat of serious damage to the US Open and the NTC is now both real and potentially disastrous, the association's lawsuit reads. Lisa Zornberg, Robert Anello, Jared Rosenfeld and Elena Syman of Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello appear on the brief for the association."
The United States Tennis Association National Tennis Center filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court seeking a temporary restraining order to block construction of the planned Metropolitan Park casino adjacent to Citi Field. The association alleges the city has shown unwillingness to honor the 99-year lease for the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center by permitting New York Mets home games during the 23 days of the U.S. Open, violating a superiority clause that limits competing events and grants control over concessions and parking. The city has not provided assurances that the superiority clause will be included in a binding agreement with Queens Future. The suit warns of potentially disastrous damage to the U.S. Open and notes an upcoming New York State Gaming Commission site tour.
