The End Approaches for Times Square's ESPN Zone

Can Times Square handle this news? The LA Times reports that the Walt Disney Company is planning on shutting down all ESPN Zones that aren't connected to a Disney property, including New York's very own neon-lighted three floor arcade/sports bar. A sad day for Times Square tourists, fans of their bar games, and of course, all of the Conde Nasties nearby. Officials have yet to confirm the report, and they have yet to address the news on the official ESPN Zone twitter.
