JetNation Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The long awaited American Dream mega mall has an opening date. Last week it was announced that the mall will open on October 25, 2019. NJ.com has more details and the non retail parts of the mall will be open on Sunday, presumably including game day. The Jets are on the road on 10/27 and 11/3 but the Jets and Giants play at Metlife Stadium on Sunday 11/10. The American Dream mega-mall will open October 25, according to an announcement from developer Triple Five. The entertainment and shopping complex — located at the Route 3-New Jersey Turnpike interchange in East Rutherford — will open its doors on a Friday in the fall after many delays. It will consist of 45 percent retail and 55 percent entertainment. An 8-acre Nickelodeon Universe indoor theme park will contain two record-breaking roller coasters. There will be an 8-acre DreamWorks Waterpark, the first of its kind. The Big SNOW Ski and Snowboard Park will be North America’s first indoor snow sports center. And American Dream will have an NHL‐sized skating and hockey rink, an Angry Birds-themed 18‐hole miniature golf course, a Legoland Discovery Center, an aquarium, a luxury movie theater and more. Among the retailers that have signed on are Barneys, Tiffany & Co., H&M, Saks Fifth Avenue, Zara and Dolce & Gabbana. Bergen County’s Blue Laws will keep stores at American Dream closed on Sundays but the entertainment and dining portions will be open 7-days a week. Dining at American Dream will include over 100 dining and specialty food options including more than 20 full‐service restaurants, a 38,000-square-foot food hall; a Kosher food court; and a 22,000 square foot arcade-style gastropub.

Popular Post T0mShane Posted July 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2019 Isn’t it a little on the nose to build a high-end shopping mall on a literal swamp—after having the project stuck in a developmental quagmire for twenty years due to sketchy mobbed-up trade union ****ery and a cartoonishly corrupt Republican administration—and name it “American Dream”?

Kleckineau Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Jets and Giants both filed injunctions and law suits to block this thing originally called Xanadu but lost. Political corruption has been a part of this thing from the start. https://www.dailyrecord.com/story/news/local/2015/02/26/xanadu-meadowlands-trial-begins/24073397/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Being from the home of the original super mall 'West Edmonton Mall' it will be a cool place to visit a few times and then getting dragged along when relatives from out of town want to see it but eventually it will be a big meh, especially if it is tough to get to. I think it has been at least 10 years since I went to our mega mall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me I will never ever step foot in that place. Honestly, who do you know that hates tailgating? Since the Jets have given me no reason to go into the stadium for the majority of the past decade, I've gone to the stadium on game day multiple times just to tailgate and then head back to the city to watch redzone/the rest of the games.
