NBC New York: Just What Jersey Needs, Another Swamp -- Well, Yes, Actually


Video credit: nbcnewyork.com


Fewer than five miles from Manhattan as the heron flies, a new swamp is being built in the North Jersey bogland that years ago was renamed the Meadowlands. In recent years, TV commentators at Giants and Jets games would still call Giants Stadium "The Swamp."  But environmentalists knew better. Much of the marsh surrounding the stadium had been drained and developed over the years, or allowed to silt up so that the new land was pretty much good only for muskrats.
