I’m a little confused. Your post seems to imply that the Sheraton

a) is building a new facility at the Meadowlands, and

b) will contain features such as SkyVenture, Formula One raceway, the Bergen Ballpark and an 8,000-seat Baseball-only stadium.

Sheraton already has a facility across the street from the Meadowlands, The Sheraton Meadowlands (http://www.sheratonmeadowlandshotel.com/)

Why would they be building another hotel? No one at Sheraton could confirm this.

Similarly, the Xanadu complex, not the Sheraton, is slated to have the Skyventure, raceway and ballpark you are talking about. At least that’s what it says on their website:

Am I missing something?

Yeah . . . like the billion dollar Frank Lautenberg train station facility in the Meadowlands. Ever been there? It’s a ghost town!

The Sheraton Hotel Chain will have the last laugh on the
NJ cynics who complain about Meadowlands Xanadu. When this new sports, entertainment and shopping complex becomes a major destination for corporate conventions and international travelers rooms at the Sheraton Meadowlands will be hard to come by.
