The Meadowlands Sports Complex is a sports and entertainment facility located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA, owned and operated by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA). The site currently consists of three venues: Meadowlands Stadium, the Meadowlands Racetrack (aka The Big M), and the Izod Center (formerly known as the Brendan Byrne Arena and Continental Airlines Arena).
Izod Center
The Izod Center (formerly Brendan Byrne Arena and Continental Airlines Arena) is a multi-purpose indoor arena in the Meadowlands Sports Complex. Opened in 1981, it was home to the New Jersey Nets NBA team until 2010 and to the New Jersey Devils NHL team until 2007. Both teams have since moved to the Prudential Center in Newark. Official seating capacity is 20,049 for NBA games, 20,000 for concerts and 20,029 for college basketball.
The IZOD Center is a popular concert destination. In 2008, it hosted sell-out performances by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Jonas Brothers, Dave Matthews Band and Nickel back. It is consistently ranked in the top four arenas nationally by Billboard Magazine in their ranking of venues for concert and family shows.
Meadowlands Stadium
Meadowlands Stadium is the new football stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex. It primarily serves as the home stadium for the New York Giants and New York Jets American football teams of the NFL, and is thus the only facility home to two NFL franchises. The Jets' and Giants' previous home, Giants Stadium, will be closed and demolished in 2010. In 2014, the New Meadowlands Stadium will host Super Bowl XLVIII.
Racetrack
The Meadowlands Racetrack is a horse racing track at the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The track hosts both thoroughbred racing and harness racing. It is known popularly in the region as "The Big M."
Opened in the mid 1970s, the Meadowlands Racetrack held its first-ever harness race on September 1, 1976 while thoroughbred racing commenced on September 6, 1977.
The Racetrack is the site of the Hambletonian, the most prestigious event in standard bred racing. The track is equipped to race at night and most of its races are at night.
The Racetrack, including the main building, horse barns and site, was designed by the Philadelphia architectural firm of Ewing Cole (now known as Ewing Cole Cherry Brott), who also designed a number of other track facilities around the world as well as Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia (with Populous).
In the middle of the track is a lake, intentioned to resemble the state of New Jersey. The Meadowlands Racetrack is also one of the leading simulcast facilities in the world in terms of total handle.
