EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ-Following the flurry of excitement from the New York Giants’ Super Bowl win this week, members of the Urban Land Institute’s Northern New Jersey chapter are already looking toward the future. In two years, the Meadowlands will be the host site of Super Bowl 2014 – and local officials, business leaders and the commercial real estate industry are gearing up for the big game.

The event has the potential to generate more than $500 million for the New York/New Jersey region, but weather, transportation and development issues remain. Check out exclusive photos from ULI’s event at MetLife Stadium below, and stay tuned for more coverage on GlobeSt.com in the coming days.
