    Actually, it was turned into another "Festival of Big Box Blandness," but some apartments are being built there as well. What it SHOULD'VE been converted into is a new stadium for the New York Jets to get them back in New York where they belong. Hell, this is right near Mitchel Field, the cradle of Trans-Atlantic flight, making it the perfect site for Jets Stadium.
