In all the years i've gone to events at the meadowlands not once was I ever given a free admission, free voucher,program or any other enticement to go visit the track.
How hard is it to give the people attending another event a free admission coupon to the track just to get them interested? How come I don't get a free pass to a car show when I visit the track? The other events aren't packing people in either.
Besides, I like my idea better than no idea, which is what has been happening for years. You need someone who can think outside the box.

I know the track used to give you free admission with your Devils ticket stub. I would assume that they did the same for the Nets. But if you think about it, if people weren't going because of a $2 admission, what kind of players are they going to be? Also the whole parking snafu situation was also a hinderence in getting over to the track.
As far as the football fans go, getting out of that stadium can be brutal. And one day after a Giant game, I said the hell with sitting in the traffic. I figured I would go play some races until the traffic thinned out. That's when I realized that the track was dark on those days.
