So, why is there no pedestrian bridge?
Holy Shit, making it from the nearest hotel across the canal turns a 1-mile walk into a 6-mile hike =U
That has to be deliberate, there's no other excuse for it.
Deliberate in the sense that someone built a hotel on land that was cheap for reason?
Do you think that the city should engage a billion dollar civil engineering project to build a pedestrian bridge over a navigable canal so that it can serve whoever was dumb enough to build a hotel here?
To be clear, there are like a hundred hotels that you CAN walk to this stadium from, just not this one.
A billion dollars for a pedestrian bridge? That thing had better be made of gold, then.
found some figures about cost of bridge building and apparently if one were to construct a completely new pedestrian overpass/bridge over that canal would be on the ballpark of about 2-10 million dollars
How much extra do you think it would have cost to add an 6' walkway to the bridge when it was built, merely as a future-proofing mechanism? When your first thought is, "No one would ever want to walk from one side to the other instead of using some kind of transportation," these are the kind of results you get.

NJ DOT controls Rt 3 that goes over the bridge. You can recommend it to them.
