Hey guys. Thanks for all the input.

I created this thread due to what the news media have said about the North Jersey's East Rutherford and Lond Island's Uniondale.

I'd usually watch World Wrestling Entertainment whenever it airs a live pay-per-view from either the Meadowlands or Uniondale.

In 2007, WWE did a show at the Continental Airlines Arena. Check out this video-

Fast forward to 3:22, and you will hear the announcers say "You are looking live at a sold-out Continental Airlines Arena in the shadow of the Big Apple".

And in 2008, WWE did a show at the Nassau Coliseum. Check out this video-

Fast forward to 1:50:08, and you will hear the announcers say "And tonight we are in the shadow of New York City".

All these media outlets keep saying that both the Meadowlands and the Nassau Coliseum are located "in the shadow of NYC".

So I was wondering whether or not Newark could be considered situated in that same shadow as well.

After all, Newark is just south of East Rutherford.
