N.J. sports authority contracts reveal millions in secret rebates to promoters of Meadowlands acts
The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority kicked back millions of dollars to the nation’s largest music promoters over the last five years in an effort to lure top acts to the Meadowlands.
Details of the deals were revealed only after state courts forced the authority to release hundreds of contracts signed with performers ranging from Britney Spears to Jay-Z. The orders came because of a legal battle by The Star-Ledger to examine the now-public documents. (Sherman and McGlone, The Star-Ledger)
