JetNation Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The Jets and Giants usually don’t always see eye to eye. Steve Tisch thinks the Jets ruined Tim Tebow’s career, they Jets disagree. Back in the days before the new stadium, the Jets and Giants had a hard time agreeing over exactly how many port-o-potty’s should be in the parking lot. These disagreements are all in the past though; the Jets and Giants are united against the American Dream entertainment complex that sits right next to Metlife Stadium. The teams have filed a lawsuit because they have concerns over game day traffic conestion. Last month, the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority breathed life back into the American Dream Meadowlands retail and entertainment complex, approving new plans for the $3.7 billion mega-mall that sits in the Meadowlands adjacent to MetLife Stadium. The new scope of work on the project, which includes more than three million square feet of retail space, a theme park and indoor ski slope, was supposed to catapult it to completion following nearly a decade of mismanagement, economic issues and political maneuvering that helped stall its completion. The teams believe the project, as recently-approved with the new entertainment and theme park additions, “will clog the complex’s already congested transportation networks and create a transportation nightmare when events are held at MetLife Stadium,” according to the lawsuit. The American Dream complex has been on hold since 2009, when the original developer had financial problems. Construction on the American Dream complex in East Rutherford alongside the New Jersey Turnpike in East Rutherford has been suspended since 2009, when then-developer Colony Capital and its partners ran into financial problems in the wake of the recession.

Maxman Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It is already built... What do they propose it becomes? They are complaining about the expansion plans. I think they are okay with it as it exists today. Triple Five, the owner of the Mall of America in Minnesota and the West Edmonton Mall in Canada, signed a letter of intent to take over the project in 2010. Changing the name of the project from Xanadu to American Dream, the Canada-based firm proposed expanding the $3.7 billion project with a water park, a theme park and other amenities. The developer has signed an agreement with Hollywood studio DreamWorks Animation to license its characters and storytelling for planned theme park at American Dream. DreamWorks created the films Shrek and Madagascar. The project will also incorporate an 18-screen movie house, the country's tallest Ferris wheel, skydiving wind tunnels, a theater and an indoor ski slope, along with hundreds of retail shops and restaurants.

kelticwizard Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Just wondering-would this whole conflict have something to do with parking and money from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaumerJet Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Just wondering-would this whole conflict have something to do with parking and money from that? Ya Think? Let's put things in a better light: Neither team wants anything open within a 1/4 of a mile from the stadium because it will affect Ancellary sales IE-PROFITS The establishment of this mall actually aids them on game day with filling parking issues They (JETS/GIANTS) intend to build three buildings (including a high rise hotel) along the Route 3 Corridor (Eliminating the parking space added by the demo of Giants Stadium) Additional Ancillary space for "Game Day" tailgating will be built making it a "One-Stop" Shopping experience Simply put - see #'s 1 & 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
