Potential congestion and parking problems top the list of serious concerns the Giants, Devils and Nets have about the behemoth "Pavilion." A Giants spokesperson questioned Sports Authority claims that the dome could reduce traffic on game days by encouraging fans to arrive earlier and stay later. Fearing further congestion, the Nets expressed hope that Pavilion visitors will come via transit once a NJ Transit rail link from the Secaucus Transfer is built for the Meadowlands. The Pavilion would include 1,000 new parking spaces.

The teams' concerns echoed local objections to the plan. Meadowlands communities object that municipal officials were not consulted during the planning process, and East Rutherford Mayor James Cassella told the Daily News, "I don't know where they think the traffic is going to go." The Coalition of Meadowlands Communities is concerned the development will exacerbate traffic conditions on secondary roads around the complex. A Secaucus resident recently told the Campaign that traffic escalates so badly during sporting events that many local residents already think twice about leaving their homes. Star Ledger
