How far is this going to be from MET LIFE STADIUM home of the Giants and Jets football teams? I can only imagine how bad traffic is going to be on game days if it's very close.

After reading up on the subject, there's a possibility that a Toys "R" Us/FAO Schwarz flagship store will open at this mall. American Dream is shaping up to be the Jersey Shore's equivalent of Minnesota's Mall of America.

The retail portion of the mall will be closed on game days, leaving the amusement park and water park open, due to New Jersey's "blue laws".

That, of course, assumes that they never play any home games on days that aren't Sunday (like Monday or Thursday games).
