The most touchdowns at the first Super Bowl hosted at the Meadowlands will be scored by rich fans flying in via private jet.
An $11 million private air terminal is quietly being constructed at Newark Airport to lure the jet set that is sure to converge for the 2014 Super Bowl.
The new facility — being built where a 20-year-old terminal used to stand alongside Routes 1 and 9 — will have a VIP lobby, a business center and free-flowing popcorn.
The 11,000-foot terminal also will have a VVIP section — for “very, very important persons” — set aside for private receptions and corporate gatherings.
“The Super Bowl generates a whole lot of business,” said Eric Richardson, the general manager of Signature Flight Support, which is building the terminal. “It’s going to bring hundreds of airplanes to the New York area.”
