With money from sponsors uncertain, Montclair has scaled back its original concept but still plans to throw a party involving live music, food and other attractions, McMahon said.
Other towns are aggressively seeking sponsors to avoid using taxpayer dollars. Secaucus, which sits practically in the shadows of MetLife Stadium and could host thousands of hotel guests, is planning to erect a large, heated tent for karaoke, live music,Babe Ruth Jersey, dining and other activities. And it plans to offer ice sculptures, laser tag and slides at a local park. Mayor Michael Gonnelli said the town also will host a "Super Ball" black-tie event that he hopes will include an auction for two Super Bowl tickets.
