With pop star Taylor Swift performing at Met Life Stadium this weekend, the impact on Big M racing handle is sure to be significant. Last night's handle was $2,257,753, down from the previous Friday when $2,747,070 was pushed through the windows, a drop of almost $490,000.
"Unfortunately the concerts this weekend are going to negatively impact our handle." said Big M Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir. “With the concerts expected to end around 11:30, which is usually when our last race goes off, the horsemen made it very clear that they didn't want to be caught in the traffic. So we had no choice  but to cut down the time between races and doing that really hurts our handle. We will have to do the same thing tonight but we're hoping our off track business will make up some of the shortfall."

Mr Integrity should be more concerned with allowing Joe B and his girl friend fixing races having an impact on his handle than a concert next door.

Are the LIVE crowds on Friday  that big that the $500k lost handle would've been all On Track ?

Not many people are choosing to go to the track or go to a concert. The  average age of a Meadowlands degenerate gambler is 85. the average age of a concert attendee is 14.

The midget Settlemoir keeps saying the Meadowlands wants a young crowd. The show is a sell out. That's 82,500 people. Most arrive early in the afternoon. An afternoon card would have been ideal. Play some Taylor Swift music while the horses score and some of those fans might walk over to see what is going on.  ;D

that would make too much sense.
Promote the afternoon racing.
Give away a couple of tickets to show.
Afternoon drink specials before the show.
Park early - beat the traffic - get a free $2 win bet
Anything - other than Whoa is me - It’s not fair

A chance to win free tickets would have been a great idea. A lot of her fans are underage so they can't bet, but at least get them in the place. The ones who are of age will bet a few bucks and maybe they'll have a good time and come back

The only way to attract a young crowd is to create a venue worth attending. Why is it harness tracks are dead set on doing everything the opposite of Thoroughbred tracks??? This is the problem.
