NYC area lands 2014 Super Bowl

Notice how these morons in the press keep saying the Super Bowl is "coming to the New York City area" when in fact it should be the Super Bowl is "coming to New Jersey"

If New Yorkers wanted to say the Super Bowl is coming to NY, they should have built a f***ing stadium in NY.

Well to be fair, East Rutherford NJ is really the NYC Area.

No doubt. The new Cowboys stadium is 20 miles from Dallas. This stadium is 5 miles from Manhattan.

Not to mention easily incredibly easy to get to from NYC now. They built a dedicated Rail station at the new Meadowlands that runs directly from NY Penn Station on days with events at the stadium. They're even supposed to have a "Railgator" section in the stadium lot where you can rent a space and store your tailgating equipment that you bring on the train with you. Plus you can drink on the train, which is a definite plus.

East Rutherford to Manhattan = 11 miles according to mapquest.

It's five miles direct, seven by car (Giants Stadium to the Javits Center - per Google).

The Meadowlands is on the Eastern border of East Rutherford and Secaucus.

And practically speakings, Its more the "NYC area" than most of the outer 4 boroughs.
