MetLife Stadium seems to get some improvements every year. They've improved the train service since it hosted the super bowl, They've added more restrooms, They expanded the parking, They even improved the traffic by expanding certain roads. Now they are improving the field conditions by replacing the old turf with state of the art turf which is one of the newest fields that lessens injury, But They always seem to use natural grass for soccer events.
i heard the reason why the design is so bland is because the jets owner wanted a modern design and the giants owner wanted an old school design so they had to compromise. hence making it look bland. also the colors are neutral inside since two teams play there so they cant pick one color code. if they can figure out away to change the exterior design which wouldnt require a demolition and change the color codes between giants and jet colors it will be a above average stadium. they also should have built the new stadium but maintained the same field. that adds history.
Is it possible to add a roof based on the way it was built. I watched the group breaking Ceremony and it was clear that it was gonna open stadium.. They had the model of it on the Ground Breaking Ceremony. It was built to be open roof stadium. I bet some designers and engineers could figure it out bur the cost of adding a roof especially if they need to modify the top of the stadium to support the weight of the roof. The cheapest way would be just put in roof on not a retractable. They could use some of the clear material seen at other stadiums Like the Falcons stadium. If you add a roof they when it gets cold where the fans sit to watch the game would need to be heated. I bet if they tried to build a roof it would cost to what they paid for the stadium due to rising costs and we have Super high inflation were under bet it would be A Billion dollar cost. NYC is the biggest city in the world and should hold Super Bowls. Yes they hosted one Super bowl but it won't ever get another unless they add a roof. I like the idea of the Roof having those panels that let sunlight in. Having the Super bowl in NYC would help businesses in the area. I don't think they will ever pur a roof on it I bet it's not being discussed at all by the powers that be, that who could start the process of talking about. It and looking into ideas and see how much it would cost. Cold weather teams should build domes with retractable roofs Giants, Jets and Buffalo are prime examples. If Buffalo would have left for Toronto they would have played in a Dome with a retractable roof which hasn't been opened in over a decade. They would have played in Sky Dome. Other. Teams that built a newx stadium between 2000 to 2022 and teams like Buffalo who are building new stadium in the next 5 to 7 years should goto retractable roof stadiums.. You couldn't pay me enough to sit in the freeing outfoor stadium's from December 1sti till end of season. Here are teams that should have retractable roof stadium's. Giants, Jets, Denver, New England, Buffalo, Bengals, Cleveland browns,Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't think stadiums Like Lambeau Stadium, Arrow Head home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Those are classic legendary stadiums who have been around a longtime and they keep up doing Renevations.Its a waste of money to build a Stadium without a roof. In cold weather they could still hold more concerts and indoor activities, Motor cross motorcycle racing. Plus things like Monster trucks, musical concerts also like David Copperfield. NCAA tournament games. They can host college bowl games. I can't list everything they could be used for. How abot racing go carts or Open wheel Sprint cars they could host something close to the Chili bowl I don't think they should move the location of the Chili Bowl. Something similar to the Chili Bowl That is all I can think of. Would Love to hear any ideas of events they could have been hosted by in Buffalo if they played in a done. Buffalo isn't getting a dome stadium what a loss. Yes it cost more to build NFL stadium with Roof domes profits are much higher,@@
You like it better than the giants stadium? I think that was a really beautifull stadium which had history and still don’t understand why they built another stadium juste next to it with the same capacity
Miserly cheap Giants’s co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch said “no” to a roof over the new stadium. As a result, only one Super Bowl was played there.
As a Giants fan while a roof would be welcomed by some I personally don't think it fits the teams identity as a traditional and legacy franchise. If anything is to change however it's the team logo being displayed at midfield, if the also turfed SoFi is able to do it with the Rams and Chargers so can MetLife with the Giants and Jets.
@@ArchiveofEverything The best stadiums in the world are the ones that gives the best fan experience. The key to that is having the best spacious comfort humanly possible. MetLife stadium is 2nd to none in that department.
STILL SHOULDN’T HOST ANOTHER SUPER BOWL IN THAT STADIUM WITHOUT A ROOF. SUPER BOWL 48 WAS A DEBACLE, PLUS THEY DODGED A BULLET BY A MANNER OF A FEW HOURS WITH A INCOMING SNOWSTORM.
Super bowl 48 was a big success. The turf actually held up well during in the cold weather. Since that problem with the train service - The mass transit service greatly improved. Most fans prefer outdoor cold weather football than a dome arena like stadium football.
This stadium is the quintessential definition of dull and boring. I do understand it's a shared facility but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have put any effort. There isn't any major attractions just GRAY LOTS OF GRAY AROUND. Can't believe that it cost $1.6B what a joke.
True, so long as they do a better job of building it than the old Viking's stadium. Admittedly a few things contributed to that event, and at least no one was hurt. th-cam.com/video/L0Ptkj-fafI/w-d-xo.html
@@ArchiveofEverything With all due respect - You're talking nonsense. MetLife stadium is the only stadium in the NFL that has high levels of success hosting major events WITHOUT the benefit of any stylish or retractable roof. Even Miami had SOME success hosting the big events without a roof. College football stadiums never needed a roof to host the championship bowl games - why should it be required in the pros ?
New stadiums like SoFi, Allegiance, U.S. Bank and Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz stadium are all great, But they're all being built smaller these days. If history has taught us anything - Small stadiums with a roof don't pan out well in the long run no matter how well the design of the building is. This is why the future will recognize MetLife stadium as the best stadium in the NFL. It gives fans what they really want. To most fans - Large spacious outdoor venues are preferable than small overcrowded venues with a roof. Grand spacious comfort beats World class design. There are reasons why MetLife stadium is the leading candidate to host the 2026 World Cup Finals. There are reasons why the Giants had a higher crowd attendance than the Cowboys last year.
@@carlosmark9840 Fans never seem to complain about the Frozen Tundra in Lambeau Field - Therefore, They can't complain about a less colder climate in New York/New Jersey with a more spacious and comfortable seating.
I don't think it looks all that bad. See, it looks like the old twin towers of the World Trade Center, which had a certain appeal to them. That exterior starts to grow on you a bit. So, to me, it has a nostalgic approach to a "New York skyscraper." I like it.
Now a days they make the stadium the event and not the game as the event. I like the boring design because im going to see my giants play not to a party
@@darealpapajon Agreed. The stadium is designed decently. I like when it lights up to show you who's playing at night. The stadium isn't supposed to be a hotshot that takes the attention from the game. Us Giants fans, and Jet fans go to Metlife to watch our team play not to lust over the fucking stadiums design.
The point you made at the end is very valid; with the 2026 World Cup coming, they should definitely look into upgrading MetLife Stadium
In 2027, New York City FC are gonna have a new Stadium at Willets Point in Queens, New York where the New York Mets are next door

It's a disgrace that the two teams combined didn't put the money into it and make it a retractable dome.
So they made it look like a giant air conditioner with no roof 😮
I don’t care what the haters say. This is my all time favorite stadium. I’m honestly a fan of the open air design. Glad to live 3 hrs away from it

If they want to host Super Bowls or really any other event it’s basically a requirement now.
