Is the Red Bulls Stadium in the Wrong Place
The Red Bulls have made a recent transition to their new stadium in Harrison New Jersey. Their old home, Giants Stadium, has been imploded to make room for the new shopping mall they are going to put into place. The new home has impacted the Red Bulls tremendously for they have gone from finishing in last place in the previous season to being in second place halfway through this years campaign. However, the new home may negatively impact traffic in the Suburban Essex area, specifically in Harrison and Newark. The Harrison-Newark area is filled with many attractions that will cause major traffic jams. They are the Newark Museum, Riverfront Stadium, NJPAC, Newark Airport, Branch Brook Park, Prudential Center and the newly addled Red Bulls Stadium. And with only one highway, Route 280, and the PATH station nearby traffic will be on a stand still. Therefore, I feel that the stadium should not be in the busting Newark area. The new stadium should have been built in the Meadowlands, especially considering the fact that there would be space after they tore down Giants Stadium. Hey maybe the other team will get stuck in traffic on the way to the stadium and will have to forfeit.
