History
In the mid-1960s, civic leaders in New Jersey began calling for a sports complex in the New Jersey Meadowlands that would be able to lure a National Football League team from New York. The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority Law was passed by the New Jersey Legislature in 1971 and signed by then-Governor of New Jersey William T. Cahill. The first chairman of the NJSEA was David A. "Sonny" Werblin, former president of the NFL's New York Jets. By year's end, Werblin had secured a deal for the New York Giants, who were then playing in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, to move to the Meadowlands. Ground was broken on Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands Racetrack on November 19, 1972.

To accommodate the new facility, access roads were improved. The New Jersey Turnpike, which had been suffering the burden of increased traffic volumes near its northern terminus in Ridgefield Park, built a new alignment, the "western spur", with an exit, interchange 16W, leading directly to the sports complex as well as to Route 3. Routes 3 and 20 (now 120) also received improvements. The New Jersey Turnpike is a toll road in New Jersey and is one of the most heavily traveled highways in the United States. ...

By 1977, plans were in the works to expand the complex. A new arena was to be built on the opposite side of Route 20 from the stadium and racetrack, connected by vehicle ramps and a pedestrian bridge. Brendan Byrne Arena, named for the sitting governor, opened July 2, 1981, with the first of six sold-out shows by the rock musician Bruce Springsteen. The arena was renamed for its corporate sponsor, Continental Airlines, in early 1996. The arena is commonly known as "The Arena" by the locals.

Auto racing In 1983, a Formula One auto race was planned for the New York City area. A temporary street course at the Meadowlands Sports Complex was one of the finalists for the location. A course at Flushing Meadows Park, in the New York City borough of Queens, was chosen, but the event was cancelled before the first running. In July 1984, the CART Indycar series held the first Meadowlands Grand Prix on a temporary circuit built in the Giants Stadium parking lot. The race was only moderately successful, and crowds were mediocre at best. In 1988, the course layout was redesigned in an effort to improve competition. The race continued until 1991, and crowds continued to stay away. In 1992, race officials announced plans to move the race to Manhattan, using a street course at the World Trade Center. Within a few months, however, the race was cancelled due to cost concerns. Formula One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia /**/ @import /skins-1. ...

Future Several times, the prospect of bringing baseball, (particularly the New York Yankees) to the Meadowlands Sports Complex has been discussed. Indeed, bringing the Yankees to the Meadowlands was originally thought to be as important as getting the Giants. However, New York City's government agreed to remodel (and virtually rebuild) Yankee Stadium at public expense in the mid-1970s. Later, a 1987 bond issue to build a baseball stadium was defeated by the voters. The Yankees continued to toy with the idea of a move to the Meadowlands, but dramatically improved attendance in the late-1990s and early-2000s convinced them that playing in the Bronx was still viable. They also conceded that taxpayers would likely only finance road and mass transit improvements in any location; the stadium itself would need to be privately financed. The Yankees' new home will be adjacent to their old one. A view of the playing field at Busch Stadium II St. ...

In 2003, under the leadership of NJSEA chairman George Zoffinger, the authority agreed to a redevelopment of the Arena site. The proposal, named Xanadu, would expand the site into a shopping, office, and entertainment complex, preserving the Arena in a scaled-down form and adding a stadium for minor league baseball. The Mills Corp. and Mack-Cali Corp. broke ground for the project in March 2005 after receiving final environmental clearances[1].

In April 2005, after months of negotiating, wrangling, and filed lawsuits (typical of many New York City metro area real-estate deals), the New York Giants organization and the NJSEA reached a deal to construct a New Meadowlands Stadium to replace the 1976-constructed Giants Stadium. The board of the NJSEA approved the deal shortly thereafter. (source: The New York Times) A few months later, a new deal replaced the existing plans to build a new stadium, now a 50/50 joint venture between the Giants and the New York Jets. All existing plans, including preliminary blueprints and design schemes were scrapped, as the Jets' vision for a new stadium differed from the Giants, after the Jets failed to gain approval to build their own stadium on the West Side of Manhattan.

Although the new building is currently referred to as "Giants Stadium", it has been speculated that the naming rights will be sold to a corporate sponsor by the Giants, who received the future naming rights based on the April 2005 agreement. The Giants have agreed to pay all constructon costs for the stadium itself (estimated at $750 million in 2005), in exchange for the land and for the state of New Jersey's assumption of all debt for the 1976 stadium (as of 2005, there is still a debt balance). The state also plans to reconstruct major access roads to the complex in preparation for both the new stadium and Xanadu projects, at a cost of millions of dollars. The future of the Continental Airlines Arena is in doubt after the Devils announced they would be moving to a new arena called the Newark Arena in Newark, and the Nets are in plans to move the team to Brooklyn. Both moves would leave The Arena vacant as the Nets and Devils are its two major tenants; it would likely be demolished. It was originally proposed to be demolished for the Xanadu Project, but Meadowlands Xanadu is slated to be completed before the Devils and Nets leave the arena. Problems getting Brooklyn citizens to sell their apartments to make way for the arena has resulted in the Nets signing a lease extension at the Arena until at least 2010.

The Xanadu Project is not without controversy. From traffic concerns to environmental concerns, there are many who oppose the idea of building a permanent shopping center in the Meadowlands Sports Complex. As of early 2006, the project has gained necessary approvals and building of the Xanadu Project has begun. New Jersey Transit is working on extending the nearby Pascack Valley Line to the Meadowlands Sports Complex by the end of 2007, in preparation of the opening of the Xanadu Project.
