Continental Airlines Arena

Pros: Prices, location, transportation, staff, history, clean concourse
Cons: Small entrances, sticky steps, lack of ushers at both ends

Back when corporate sponsorship was non existent there was a haven for local sports fans called the Meadowlands. You had Giants Stadium home to the Jets & Giants, The Brendan Byrne Arena home to the Nets & Devils & the Meadowlands Raceway HORSE RACING. ...

Pros: Easy in and out of the building, Sections are well marked
Cons: Getting there!

Bruuuuuuuce! That was the chant of the crowd at the Meadowlands when this arena opened in 1981, and I heard the same chant there this past summer, when Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band played 15 sold-out shows there, 9 of which I attended. Having...

Pros: Spacious, pretty good looking building, Upper level seats offer decent view, Not difficult to get tickets
Cons: Can climb a notch in the atmosphere category

This review completes my New York Metropolitan Area Arenas trilogy.

Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, NJ is the venue I have visited the most in recent years. The tickets (for both basketball and hockey) are less expensive than...

Pros: Not a bad seat in any section, adequate food,beverage,vendors
Cons: Location of Arena,Parking,Ticket Pricing

I live in New Jersey, am a Devils fan and frequent this arena often. Let me begin to say that the location is not that bad, but is still enough to keep people at home watching the televised sporting events, as the ticket and attendance sales reflect....

Pros: It is still standing
Cons: Unfortunately, it is still standing

The Continental Airlines Arena (also known as the Meadowlands)is not exactly the best arena to watch a sporting event. It is not visually pleasing, you fell as though it is a "cookie cutter arena". There is not one distinguishing feature...

Pros: Read on
Cons: Read on

Continental Airlines Arena (CAA) is my home away from home. It's less than 10 miles from my house, and hosts many of my favorite events. It is the home of the NJ Devils (the 2000 Stanley Cup Champs), the Nets (NBA), the Red Dogs (arena football) and...

Pros: Sightlines, Seating Space
Cons: Arena Location

The following review is based on my experience attending the Game 7 of the Toronto vs. New Jersey playoffs on 5/9/01

I left the city at around 5:30 and proceeded down 9th Ave to the Lincoln Tunnel - big mistake. To access the tunnel from 9th...

Pros: Perfectly good arena for fans.
Cons: Driving can be a chore at times.

Here's a fine example of what's wrong with professional sports these days, at least as far as arenas are concerned.

The Continental Airlines Arena is a perfectly good facility. It seats 19,000 or so fans. It's well maintained. It's in an...

Pros: family oriented, good ($8) parking
Cons: getting lost leaving

When I think of the Continental Airlines Arena (forever the Meadowlands for me) I think of all the great times I had with family and friends. I was there when the Devils won the cup in 95, and regretfully, was forced to miss the playoffs this year due to...

Pros: Easy to get to, easy to find your way around the arena
Cons: Doesn't have any distinctive character

I just went to Continental Airlines Arena for the first time for the Summer Jam concert. For concerts this arena is set up with the stage at one end of the floor. On their website you can check the floor plan to see where your seats are in relation to...

Pros: Newer, easy to navigate around and inside building, easy parking.
Cons: Nightmare to approach from Sheraton, Ill-engineered on/off exits/ramps.

The thought of driving from CT to NJ via Geo Washington Bridge made me nauseous - especially alone with a small child. That was alleviated when I tracked down a GREAT route via Merritt Pkwy/Hutchinson River Pkwy to Tappan Zee Bridge to Garden State Pkwy....

Pros: Have Champion Hockey Team and other great teams
Cons: Boring, Too Hot, Too Cold, Bad Acoustics, Mismanagement!

I live about 1 minute from the arena and I'm a huge devils fan but I have to Knock the arena. First off the ceiling is to high,this may seem like a small point but the bigger the arena the farther you feel from the game.The sound system is TERRIBLE....it...

Pros: Stephon Marbury
Cons: fake crowd noise

Although as a child I was Knicks fan, when I eventually moved to the New York area I became a fan of the Nets. The main reason for this was the Nets had drafted Derrick Coleman of Syracuse and that it was easy and relatively inexpensive to get decent...

Pros: Great seats, friendly people, fair prices, good food.
Cons: May have to walk a ways to get from car to stadium.

Continental Airlines Arena, what an arena!! I live about 45 mins from the arena, and have season tickets for the NJ Devils, which just won the Stanley Cup. Hockey games are definitely a sight to see. At intence games, and a full-house, you cant not get...

Pros: Great views, very accessible
Cons: Parking

Perhaps I am a little biased because I'm a Devils fan, but I absolutely love the Continental Airlines Arena. I was a full season ticket holder for a couple of years. I had the cheapest seats in the house, and I prefer to be up there than in the lower...
