      I’m telling you this as a local: that’s not going to work. It’s not about making the government uncomfortable. The government are ambivalent.

      It’s twofold: East Rutherford, in majority, are NIMBYs when it comes to this issue. The residents don’t want people walking to the stadium through their town. And just as important, the owners and operators of the Meadowlands make a huge amount of their money off the parking. It’s private property, and they don’t want people coming in without paying.

        That thinking of giving away the people power, because people like you give-up is the problem. SORRY, I SHOULD NOT MADE IT A PERSONAL BEFORE.

        It absolutely works, there is no way in BLANK politicians & media can ignore all of that happening, heck using The Internet, it is questionable if traditional media is even needed. If people just put-up with it, not will never ever change, except the people.

          It will not work in this area, it is a huge busy road with constant traffic. You will get run over. If you bring a big crowd, you will cause a traffic jam as intended, but at the cost of a bunch of pedestrian lives. Is it worth dying for that? If you don’t want to drive, there are buses and trains that go there.
