who thought the super bowl in NJ would bring money it cost over 100 million with very little intake, all the fees and things went to the NFL, the people stayed in hotels in NYC, and most of the busses came from NYC, not NJ. If you were staying in NJ, you had to go into NYC to get there.
All to make Christie look good or corzine or whoever signed that horrible contract.
