Next door to the Meadowlands's MetLife Stadium, host of Sunday's Super Bowl, is an unfulfilled mega-real estate fantasy.

Originally known as Xanadu, the project was designed as an entertainment complex anchored by an indoor ski slope. It's had three different owners since construction started in 2004, and has become a local embarrassment. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie called it "the ugliest damn building" in the state, "and maybe America."
