this is the time when creative minds should think of ways of making it work instead of how to give up and get rid of it.
if they had balls: cancel online wagering and you would see how many people would go to the meadowlands. (just 10 minutes from NYC and 10 million people)

That is such a bad idea on so many levels. Besides, have you ever been to the Meadowlands on a week when there is no live racing going on or even a dark night there? It rivals the Port Authority depot in the city. Let's just say that people wouldn't be rushing back.
