I sure am glad I braved the rain all day a few weeks ago at the Meadowlands... was about 20 feet from the center of the stage... I watched REM from the lawn about 4 years ago and remember a pretty bad view. If you are at the top of the lawn, the projection screens are all you got. I do remember being able to walk in between the pavillion sections (pedestrian aisle) and being really close.. if you're over 6 foot, that would be grand. I think Nissan is a better lawn... but is like asking what stinks the most.
