The Izod Center, the indoor arena that has been a key component of the Meadowlands Sports Complex for 34 years, could be shut down as soon as the end of this month, according to the Christie administration.

The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority board, which holds its monthly meeting on Thursday, will be asked to approve a plan that would have Prudential Center in Newark potentially take on events now scheduled at the 18,000-seat arena for February and March.

An administration official said all events scheduled past March 31 would not take place at Izod Center – including the popular WWE Summer Slam wrestling event slated for Aug. 23. The affected promoters are scheduled to be contacted almost immediately.

Wayne Hasenbalg, the president of the sports authority, said the decision, though difficult, was a matter of economics and the ongoing transformation of the Meadowlands Sports Complex.
