The Meadowlands Sports Complex
Without a doubt, Meadowlands Sports Complex has proven to be one of the state’s most successful ventures. The Meadowlands has brought the Stanley Cup Finals, NBA Finals, the Hambletonian, FIFA World Cup Soccer, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four, and even The Greatest Show on Earth to New Jersey. It was in the late ‘60s when the New York Giants and New York Yankees were first planning relocation to a swamp in New Jersey known as the “Meadowlands.” Despite waves of doubt and opposition, the vision of the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority became a blazing reality that enjoyed immediate, explosive success. The complex combines a world-class stadium, a state-of-the-art arena, and the nation’s top harness track to offer a full calendar of sports and entertainment events. At any given time, the marquee glistens with the biggest names in show business while the sports venues are home to some of the nation’s most celebrated teams.
