Comparing harness to TBs is like comparing apples to jello pudding, but for the sake of conversation...
When the new building at the meadowlands was erected (with the intent of a casino down the road), they made the new building very updated with some pretty nice amenities. Open air roof top deck that you can see the city on a nice night, some higher end dining, a night club. Like anything new, opening night was packed. over time the crowds dwindled, the night club never caught on, dining in the restaurants is always below capacity, usually no one there on any given live racing night.
I think an updated/new facility would work in certain areas,but the demand has to be there. A casino would work in that area, but not for me. I would still make my trips to AC despite the distance and tolls.
