30 Forgotten Stadiums Where the Crowd Never Came Back

28. The Haunted Shell of the New Jersey Meadowlands Arena (USA)

The Meadowlands Arena—formerly known as the Brendan Byrne Arena, Continental Airlines Arena, and Izod Center—was once home to the New Jersey Nets and New Jersey Devils, hosting everything from NBA games to sold-out concerts by legends like Queen and Bruce Springsteen. However, in 2015, it was shut down in favor of newer venues like the Prudential Center. Unlike most abandoned arenas, the Meadowlands is still largely intact, its seats and scoreboard eerily frozen in time. Occasional movie productions use it as a set, but otherwise, it sits in silence, its once-thriving corridors now haunted by memories of roaring crowds.
