The area is empty in the fall and those will be nice dates and days to watch some racing live. Those are good races because you will still have a bunch of NY based B teamers around and they still race for OK money
The best thing about the Meadowlands (at least for me) was the night racing. Agree that it was nice having a pristine turf course so late into the season too, but as far as logistics you're right. Not to mention it has to hurt them that they have to be dark on Sunday afternoons due to Giants and Jets home games.
Who knows, maybe that little fall meet will lead them to making a push for the BC again. Even though I was kind of against it, I thought that they did a great job the first time and would love to see them get another crack with hopefully much better weather conditions.
