The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA) was created by the New Jersey legislature in 1971 and is the governing body which oversees the operations of Continental Airlines Arena, Giants Stadium, Meadowlands Racetrack, Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, N.J., Atlantic City Convention Center, Historic Boardwalk Hall and the Wildwoods Convention Center.

Giants Stadium, with a capacity of 80,242, is recognized as one of the premier venues in the country and it, along with Continental Airlines Arena and Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, N.J., comprise the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The Complex’s three facilities were constructed on a 750-acre site at a cost of $450 million. The project was financed entirely by money raised through the sale of bonds issued by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA). No taxpayer money was used in the construction of the complex.

Each year, over seven million patrons enjoy more than 600 events at the Meadowlands, making it one of the most successful sports and entertainment complexes in the world. The events at the Complex generate some $950 million in economic activity in the region, supports thousands of jobs, and provides tens of millions of dollars of direct revenue to the state.
