    IIRC the Meadowlands Stadium train is a special one-stop line from Secaucus. And that whole area is a big, marshy mess. Look at a map just west of NYC. You will see a big patch of urban area (Jersey City / Hoboken / Etc), and then to the west of that a huge patch of green. If there was any possible way to develop that land, they would. And they put the stadium right on the north end of that.

    They simply didn’t design it to be accessible on foot, only by train and car. So NJT can charge whatever it wants, because the alternative is to pay to park there.

      But in other events they can figure out how to run it charging 90% less, or if you use Trump math 1000% less?

        Many of those other events are Jets games, though, and Jets fans have suffered enough…
