History

Construction on a new arena across New Jersey State Highway 20 (now 120) from Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands Racetrack began in 1977. Originally named Brendan Byrne Arena (named after the sitting governor of the state, who was also a member of the ownership group seeking to bring an NHL team to the State), the arena opened July 2, 1981, with the first of six concerts by New Jersey rock musician Bruce Springsteen. This was followed by an ice show later that month. Although named after Byrne, many people and some tickets and press releases simply referred (and still refer) to it as Meadowlands Arena.

College basketball arrived at the arena with the opening rounds of the 1984 NCAA basketball tournament. Seton Hall moved its Big East Conference men's basketball games to the arena for the 1985-1986 season, enhancing a tradition that would soon become rich. The arena hosted the NCAA Men's Final Four in 1996, the last traditional arena to do so as of 2007. On eleven occasions (1986-91, 93, 95, 99, 04, 07) the arena hosted the semifinals and finals of the tournament's East Regional. Only Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium, which hosted 13 regional finals from 1940-52, has hosted more.^[1] It also hosted the 1982-1989 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and 1986 Atlantic Ten Conference men's basketball tournaments.

It was also the scene of one of Ric Flair's NWA World Heavyweight title vicories on January 11, 1991, as Flair beat Sting in front of a mostly empty arena due to a blizzard. The win was Flair's 8th title win, although, since he was recognized as the WCW world champion as well as the NWA world champion (the two titles were recognized separately), it could count as his 9th title win as well.^{[citation needed]} This article is about the 1978-1992 Major Indoor Soccer League. ...

The arena has been a popular site for concerts, due to it having been designed with acoustics in mind and to it having a lesser facility fee for artists than competing venues, such as Madison Square Garden. Bruce Springsteen remains the most popular concert act to perform in the Arena; his appearances have included a 10-night, sold-out run in 1984, an 11-night run in 1992, and a 15-night, sold-out run in 1999. This last feat is commemorated by a large banner hanging from the rafters, next to the banners representing the achievements of the resident sports teams. A 1999 concert by Dave Matthews Band was recorded for a PBS special, and subsequently released as a concert album and DVD under the name Listener Supported. Portions of the Rolling Stones 1983 concert film, Let's Spend the Night Together, were filmed at the arena.^[2] The concert footage was filmed in the fall of 1981.

Licensing rights to name

The Arena at night, following a Bruce Springsteen concert.

On January 4, 1996, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority announced a naming rights deal with Continental Airlines under which the airline, with a hub at nearby Newark Liberty International Airport, would pay the NJSEA $29 million over 12 years. Many thought this was a political move, since Brendan Byrne was a Democrat and the governor at the time of the deal was Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican. The former governor's son, Tom Byrne, was the state Democratic Party chairman at the time, and publicly voiced his displeasure. The senior Byrne was not upset about it: "I was immortal for 15 years," he said at the time.

The name change to Continental Airlines Arena also caused controversy in April of that year, when the arena hosted the NCAA Final Four. During the CBS coverage of the event, Continental signage was not shown on camera, and the arena was simply referred to as "The Meadowlands". CBS and the NCAA already had airline sponsors for the event before Continental's naming rights deal. The playoff term Final Four was originally popularized to refer to the final four teams in the NCAA Basketball Tournament; these are the champions of the tournaments four regional brackets, and the only teams remaining on the tournaments final weekend. ...

Public perception

The arena during the daytime.

Continental Airlines Arena frequently is cited near the bottom of arena polls. It is commonly referred to as "cold and dull" in appearance, as well as being "cavernous".^[3] Recently, USA Today rated it the worst NBA arena. This has played a role in the Nets' and Devils' plans to vacate the arena. Image File history File links ContinentalAirlinesArena. ... Image File history File links ContinentalAirlinesArena. ... USA Today is a national American daily newspaper published by the Gannett Company. ...

In an attempt to remain on par with the features of most modern arenas, circular LED rings were just installed on the facing of the upper level. Led is also the past tense of the verb to lead Blue, green and red LEDs. ...

The arena is also criticized for funneling both levels of the arena into one, crowded concourse.

Hockey players and fans alike acknowledge the poor ice quality of Continental Airlines Arena, which is common of many hockey arenas used for other sports. The difficulty arises when converting the playing surface from wood to ice, sometimes for two professional sporting events on the same day.

On the other hand, the arena is generally well-regarded for concerts, with its good sightlines and relatively good acoustics; the cavernous nature here can add to the drama of a top show.

Recent developments

In Fall 2004, the arena unveiled a new alternative configuration for concerts called the Theater at Continental Airlines Arena. The arena's capacity is greatly reduced to under 4,000 simply by the strategic placement of a large number of black drapes.

Future in doubt and Xanadu

Plans have been unveiled to downscale the arena in conjunction with several developments, including a new arena for the Nets in Brooklyn, New York called Barclays Center, a new arena for the Devils in Newark called Prudential Center, and the creation of a new alternative entertainment and shopping center, Xanadu on the Meadowlands grounds. The relocations of the tenant sports franchises, as well as Xanadu's current construction while the arena is still in use, leaves the arena's future in doubt. The Barclays Center is a proposed sports arena to be built partly on a platform over the Metropolitan Transportation Authority-owned Atlantic Yards at Atlantic Avenue in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. ...
