East Rutherford (New Jersey)

East Rutherford er et administrativt område i Bergen County i New Jersey. Ifølge USAs folketelling fra 2000 har området en befolkning på 8 716. Det er en forstad til New York City.

East Rutherford er mest kjent for Meadowlands Sports Complex, som inkluderer Izod Center, hvor NBA-laget New Jersey Nets spiller sine hjemmekamper (og tidligere hjemmebane for NHL-laget New Jersey Devils); og Giants Stadium, hjemmebame for NFL-lagene New York Giants og New York Jets, så vel som Red Bull New York (Major League Soccer) (inntil 2009, når Red Bulls flytter til Harrison). Dette gjør East Rutherford til det eneste befolkningsområde med mindre enn 10 000 innbyggere som har hjemmebane til fem profesjonelle idrettslag samtidig.^[1]
