There is one island platform and one side platform each approximately {{convert|950|ft|m}} in length and have an enclosed passenger overpass, which provides an accessible connection.[2] NJ Transit operates the Meadowlands Rail Line to the station for stadium events when 50,000 or more attendees are expected. The station is expected to operate daily once the American Dream Meadowlands complex is completed.[3] Station layout
OpeningThe Meadowlands station opened on July 20, 2009 when a group of dignitaries including New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, New York Giants owner John Mara, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, and players from the Giants and Jets rode out on a special train from Hoboken for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.[4] The station officially opened to the public on July 26, 2009 for the championship game of the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament between the United States and Mexico. As many as 6,000 of the 80,000 attendees at the soccer game arrived at the complex using the station.[5] In August 2009, New Jersey assemblymen Frederick Scalera and Gary Schaer advocated using the train station as a park and ride facility with weekday rush-hour service to help alleviate traffic congestion on the roadways leading to New York City, but the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority indicated this could create conflicts on evenings when other events are scheduled, such as those at the Izod Center.[6] Although the new train service worked well for the first two regular season NFL games—when approximately 6,000-7,000 football fans arrived by rail—the first problems occurred on September 23, 2011, when 20,000 attendees at a U2 concert crammed onto trains. Some concertgoers had to wait up to two hours to board trains after the show, as the rail line can only accommodate a maximum capacity of 10,000 people per hour.[7][8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://media.nj.com/bergen_impact/other/1Q2013.pdf |title=QUARTERLY RIDERSHIP TRENDS ANALYSIS |publisher=New Jersey Transit |accessdate=January 4, 2013 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6DEGzJnox?url=http://media.nj.com/bergen_impact/other/1Q2013.pdf |archivedate=December 27, 2012 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.njtransit.com/tm/tm_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=Project077To |title=Meadowlands Rail Station |publisher=New Jersey Transit |date=January 2008 |accessdate=2009-10-08}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=N.J. officials launch rail service to Meadowlands |agency=Associated Press |date=July 20, 2009 |url=http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/07/nj_officials_launch_rail_servi.html |accessdate=2009-08-02}} 4. ^{{cite news |last=Brennan |first=John |title=Meadowlands rail service rolls out |newspaper=The Record |date=July 20, 2009 |url=http://www.northjersey.com/news/transportation/mass_transit/Officials_to_launch_Meadowlands_rail_service.html |accessdate=2009-08-02}} 5. ^{{cite news |last=Clunn |first=Nick |title=Thousands hop on board new Meadowlands rail service |newspaper=The Record |date=July 26, 2009 |url=http://www.northjersey.com/news/transportation/Thousands_hop_on_board_new_Meadowlands_rail_service.html |accessdate=2009-08-02}} 6. ^{{cite news |first=Christopher |last=Dela Cruz |title=Lawmakers advocate using Meadowlands train service for park-and-ride |url=http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/08/lawmakers_advocate_meadowlands.html |newspaper=The Star-Ledger |date=August 19, 2009 |accessdate=2010-01-09}} 7. ^{{cite news |title=20K fans throng Meadowlands trains for U2 concert |first=Rohan |last=Mascarenhas |url=http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/09/rohan_mascarenhasthe_star-ledg.html |newspaper=The Star-Ledger |date=September 24, 2009 |accessdate=2009-09-25}} 8. ^{{cite news |title=Meadowlands rails prove all the rage |url=http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-14/12538449113430.xml&coll=1 |newspaper=The Star-Ledger |date=September 25, 2009 |accessdate=2009-09-25}} External links{{NJT links}}
