Liberty State park would have been a much better venue but it would still be nice to see.

The amount of disruption it would cause by closing Blvd East and River road in preparation for the race is mind boggling. Though I find something poetic that it might take place on the streets where Palisades Amusement park used to be, many years ago.
The only place that makes some sense from a logistical pt of view would be Flushing Meadow park, and possibly Liberty State, my two cents.

I can see it now. Turn 1 a hard right at the Apple store into the Plaza Hotel chicane.
