What people are failing to realize is, as Bees mentioned, a game in the Meadowlands really does nothing for recruiting.  While it may be a "home game", the staff will not be allowed to do any of the typical pregame recruiting functions (i.e. lunch with staff, locker room visits, on field during pregame, etc...).  You can't do these things away from campus.  This is an NCAA rule.  So basically, there will be very little interaction between the staff and recruits at these games.
 
Again, we need to get recruits to CAMPUS.  Kids commit to a school, not just the football program.  They get no taste of the school at MetLife Stadium.  While I know crowd support isn't great at the Dome, it doesn't matter.  Kids need to visit where they will be going to college, not a neutral site.  When I was in that business, we always used to say "treat each visit like its the first/last time a PSA will see our school."  If anything, I think this gives tri-state recruits a reason not to make the 3.5 hour trip to the Dome.  
 
We don't even recruit New Jersey anymore.  Not like we used to anyway.  I'm surprised Cuse isn't playing a game at the Georgia Dome too.
