Cabelas WANTS to open a Store here, IIRC they're in Limbo as long as Xanadu isnt dead ebcause they locked themselves into THAT location. It's 2 1/2-3 hours to drive out to Harrisburg to their Pa store, they would have Scads of busniess from NJ, NY, and CT if they were to open in the Meadowlands, but its not worth it for them to open if the Venue will collapse in a year because Cabeals is the only tenant. If te State Unloads Xanadu, and Cabela's is released fom the contract I'll bet we see a Store open within 2 years, or if the New Developer manages to do somethign with the Xanadu Facility to make it commercially viable then Cabelas MIGHT stick there. but until someone pulls their hea dout and makes a decision, Nothing is going to be done.

Hamburg not Harrisburg.

Not really. I discussed that with my cousin the other day who is involved with the construction in the area. As always, there are performance requirements that have long passed freeing them up. They realize that the facility is fair from completion and is on the ragged edge of bankruptcy. When they made the original deal, they had plans for a much greater expansion. Those plans have been scaled way back.

 

I think if you ever see one in the near future, it will not be in northern NJ. I could see the middle of the state in the Somerset area. The Sports Complex is dying. Two out of the three buildings are bleeding money and set for closure. The new stadium might not be the financial bonanza everyone expects.
