Not that shocking. The Meadowlands is a pit. The arena itself isn't that bad, but getting out there usually isn't worth the trouble. Right now, there is a huge pile of dirt outside the arena, the size of a large building complex. It blocks most of the view of the Manhattan skyline. You feel like you're out in a construction site.
And then after the game there's nothing to do, but pile into the car and get into a long line of traffic. By comparison, I can get to MSG in 15-20 minutes via subway, and only spend about 5 minutes outdoors. Then after the game, there are literally hundreds of restaurants ( or bars or clubs, if one is inclined) to go to.
It's a shame that they can't share MSG with the NYKs. But I think moving to Brooklyn will definitely boost attendance.
