  • I’m telling you this as a local: that’s not going to work. It’s not about making the government uncomfortable. The government are ambivalent.

    It’s twofold: East Rutherford, in majority, are NIMBYs when it comes to this issue. The residents don’t want people walking to the stadium through their town. And just as important, the owners and operators of the Meadowlands make a huge amount of their money off the parking. It’s private property, and they don’t want people coming in without paying.






  • I live three towns away from Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands. Aside from my view that the whole thing should be destroyed, the foundations should be ripped out, and the land should be returned to the swamp and protected…

    Yeah, there’s only about three hotels that have anything like a (very dangerous) walking route to the Meadowlands, and they’re all small. The best ways to get there are either by bus (there’s 2 routes that go there), or the new rail they put in. So I’m going to say the same thing I said when they held that stupid sportsball thing and wrecked half our roads: do not come here. Now, with constant or near-constant ICE activity around, if you’re not local with a support network, I have to be more vehement: absolutely avoid this area.

    Stay away. Do not come here for any reason at any time. If you must come because it’s life-or-death, come in, do what’s necessary, and leave immediately.
