Approximately 65,000 hand-made seats

In his own words - From the fan, Don M, who created this masterpiece.
"I am an avid Giants football fan and also a retired cabinet maker. I have a scaled down model of the old Giant Stadium of which I am very proud. With the exception of showing it to other Giant fans and friends in my area, I have not publicized it yet. People who have seen this say there is absolutely nothing like it. They simply say 'WOW! This should be on TV or in magazines or newspapers.' I haven't told anyone in the media about this. It has been in the construction state for approximately 1 1/2 years. The only construction ideas I got were from demolition pictures on the internet. I kept the construction fairly close to scale except when limited by the area in which it was built (my two-car garage). Most materials were made out of wood - mahogany and poplar - 3/8" Baltic Birch, 1/32" plexiglass for the covers of the escalators (I used this because I wanted the escalators to be seen because of all the work that went into them). The stadium lighting was quite a challenge; bulbs had to be wired in parallel in sockets - very difficult at this scale.
After the stadium was finished I decided that I would like to have a trolley car from New York City to the stadium (as I always thought that might be a good idea). I also put a backdrop of a 16' x 7' mural of the New York skyline. I also have installed working elevators from the trolley station to the ground level of the stadium. As you will note, I have all four Super Bowl victories of the Giants with pictures of the stars, some autographed.
I have been fortunate enough to be retired for the past 25 years and have over a thousand lineal feet of garden railroad, 6 working waterfalls, a working windmill, and a working lighthouse on my property.
I never wanted the public on my property; however, now that I am 74 years old, I would like some recognition for my accomplishments. The stadium is on the grounds of my deli (Doghouse Bagel & Deli 141 RT 94 Blairstown NJ 07825). For people who want to view it on weekends, a $10 fee is charged. With that comes a $5 voucher to the deli and of course the viewing of the stadium itself. It can be seen during the week by appointment only. Call (908)-878-8161"

"It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen in person and I'm not even a Giants fan.
I felt honored to work with Don and Janice on this video. It was cool to hear the story behind the replica stadium as well as all the work that went into its construction. The most amazing thing to me is that it was constructed entirely from demolition pictures and memories of being at the stadium.
The amount of detail involved with this project was overwhelming, but hopefully the video captures the essence of it as best it can without actually being there in person."

As a Diehard Raiders fan, I have to give you props, this is insane sick, never seen anything like it. Awesome job.
I'm neither a Giants nor Jets fan but that is outstanding work. Gotta tell it like it is!!
i don't even like american football still i find this amazing
I'm a BIG passionate New York Giants fan myself. I loved their good old Giants Stadium. I think it was simpler and better. MetLife Stadium is definitely awesome. I only prefer the Giants stadium for it's tradition and simplicity.
Im a Eagles fan here. I've been to that stadium 4 time non of them were football games but I was there for 2 Drum Corp (DCI) Shows and 2 for my High School Marching Band Competition (On the Field) won many championships there our high school band thought that it was our Second Home since we won championships there. Being on that field was a mouth dropping Experience. Just coming out of the tunnel and looking up. Nice job on building the stadium
dude this is the ultimate giants room..good job
Ultimate replica!
I am a scale modeler too, working on a couple of US Army dioramas right now.
There was a retiree in Quebec that built a scale model in his basement of the interior of the old Forum in Montreal. The article was in Sports Illustrated back in the mid 1980's
I read he got the idea from a accidentally spilled can of white paint that covered his basement floor.
But yours is much more detailed, and I love the "Direct Train" from boroughs idea!
I would've wanted to tailgate party at your mini stadium, I can almost taste those Italian beef sandwiches with giardinera and garlic sauce now.
Im an eagles fan and I like this!
One of the best stadiums I’ve seen
Boomer and Carton Brought me here.
This is amazing. The GIANTS need to buy this from you and Display it like you were saying.
WOW OUTSTANDING WORK!
i saw it today in person!!! just incredible!!!! i m lucky!!!!
Is it still open to the public?
Very Cool very nice work . Really great Would love to see the trolley run too.
WOW!
Go big blue Fan for life.
Awesome! Go Giants!!
Fantastic work old man, just listened to you on the WFAN, the old Giants stadium still looks better than the new one.
That's just nice work awww man
im a cowboys fan but i think this is absolutley amazing! i have no idea why giants stadium was torn down it sat a good 60,000
Awesome ! A piece of art ! Just fantastic.
Best ever
Very Nice...
Incredible............footage or photos of the building of this would be awesome, Giants should make a place for this at MetLIfe, truly a labor of love!
Bravo! Bravissimo!
As perfect as Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Extraordinary.
Outstanding.
thanks Don sir!!!!!
Aye giants lets gooo!!!$$$13OBJ
Coming from a Packers fan. This is amazing! Well Done!
Absolutely incredible.
65,000 hand-made seats god it's incredible congratulations !!!
I remember the 1994 USA World Cup just brilliant
....Be great to have spectators sitting on the seats, game players in action stance and working floodlights on. Even have the electronic score board on and with sound too.
It went from a stadium that could not fill it's seats, even with complimentary tickets that anyone could obtain onto a home that was full of life and memories , and standing room only. For fans and the players who showed up each and every week.
Truly AMAZING!!!
It should be on public display.
This is amazing. (Coming from a Jets fan)
Way to go Uncle Donnie! Awesome job! Go Giants!
Damn. This is just awesome. And I thought I was a dedicated New York Giants fan. You take the title. Again, this is just so damn awesome. Wow. Just awesome.
man, that is beyond awesome....totally cool...really incredible!!!!
Giants are my favorite team, awesome stadium
Sorry they suck
Amazing job. Hope this gets the publicity that it deserves.
awesome !!
Amazing!!!
Sick.
so awesome
@doote, And here you can your favorite team(unless its the giants) get blown out!!! Go G-men!
well done
Keep it up man one of the nicest model stadium I've ever seen
Heard about this on the Boomer and Carton show. Great work, Don! This is fantastic
Really cool !!!! I still remember what sections were where
Awesome job. Very, very nice. Is this open to the public?
Thanks Les go giants even though they went 3-13 this year at least they didn't end up like the Browns going 0-16
That's cool
amazing
Did you build this scaled replica or at least accurate model? I must say that I am amused with your imagination and ambition. That's awesome man.
I don't pay any attention to football but that was amazing!
Amazing, I love stadiums and this is phenomenal
Sure is! In the video description is everything you need to know.
And then shining his itty bitty SUPERBOWL RINGS. haters gotta hate
From Philly I hate big blue but pretty remarkable
i like the eagle's🙆
Absolutely unreal. Never seen anything like it. All the models you see are certainly smaller-scale. Is this just in a house or is it a place able to be visited by the public?
I wish this was on amazon
Amazing man, amazing! You should try building MetLife Stadium lol
Cool. To make it more realistic, you should put a little miniature of lawrence Taylor with powder on his nose.
Love it...great job
Completely amazing!! Great job :)
I absolutely hate the Giants but the real stadium and replica stadium u made r both great looking stadiums and nice job on the replica. Maybe I should do this with the Vet
Fightin Phils 6 watt you talking about number 13 is my cousin New York Giants baby
i love the giants and steelers
It is cool
How’d he make it or where’d he get it from
So nice I want one
Now you should add little people in the audience :)
And here you can see a wittie bitty Eli Manning throwing an incomplete pass
Wow ....
Super cool! What did you do for the concrete/bowl of the stadium? And what are the seats made from? :0 :)
Almost entirely made from wood. The man behind this master piece is a retired cabinet maker and has at least one patent to his name(that I know of). Very clever guy, huge giants fan, and obviously good with his hands. I was fortunate enough to create this video and expose more people to the masterpiece he created.
Looks like the Camp Nou in Barcelona.
imagine a tiny ant’s POV crawling inside there…
What was wrong with that stadium? Why did they get rid of it?
Everyone was getting new stadiums. They needed to keep up with rest of theleague
is this still available to view? 22 year season ticket holder would love to bring my dad. Thanks
The endzones should have been the old ones too
Que vacan seria tener uno asi
What materials are used to make this?
Packers all the way
I'm GIANTS all the way OBJ
remember the good ole days of all the weed burning on those spirals lol
Do you have footage of building the stadium? and if you do can you post it?
IceBlueWinter yeah I'll post some of the making bc I was camera man
Where did you get the lights from???
Now do MetLife Stadium!
Is there a little Jimmy Hoffa under the end zone?
how to make this. kind of in the final leg of my program, BS architecture and i need to present a miniature model of stadium. help please
Can u make me exact or almost n cheaper smaller for my 86' NY Giants Eletric Football Squad PLEASE?? I will pay! PLEASE reply???
Some one should do the super dome during katrina. With feces all over the seats and field.
feces?
DaBossDominguez That means poop lol
Angel Hernandez ik lmao but he meant fences haha
Eagles don't have super bowl Giants have FOUR when 3 were New England one were bills
2 were New England, 1 was Denver, and the other one was Buffalo
I like the Eagles 🏈
How dare you hate the Giants the Eagles are lost playing against the giants and I was at the game 2016 nov 6 Sunday.
And New England had Gronk
And tom brady
Bills had Lesean mcoy
And watkins
Hi
Don't like that first plaque.
Philadelphia owns NY RIGHT NOW GO PHILLY
Well talk when Philly wins a super bowl for the NFC east
IceBlueWinter TELL ME SOMETHING HOW IS THE NEW ENGLAND DEFENSE GONNA STOP THIS PHILLY OFFENCE..... ALSHON JEFFREY 17... TORRY SMITH 82... L. BLOUNT 29 JAY AJIAY 36.... EAGLES OFFENCE IS NO JOKE NEW ENGLAND BETTER HAVE A GAME PLAN ON THE DEFENSE SIDE OF THE BALL CAUSE I DONT SEE NEW ENGLAND SLOWING THIS PHILLY OFFENCE DOWN. FACE IT THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES REALLY MIGHT BE SB CHAMPS THIS YEAR AND OUR DEFENSE YOU KNOW OUR DEFENSE CAN BRING IT YOU PLAY US TWICE A YEAR GIVE SOME CREDIT WHERE ITS DO THIS PHILLY TEAM IS THE BEST PHILLY TEAM I EVER SAW AND IM A DIE HARD SINCE 1988 NEVER HAD AN. EAGLES TEAM LIKE THIS, MUCH BETTER THAN 2005 MUCH BETTER THIS PHILLY SQAUD IS DEEP.
let me say that you may be right. However, how is talent going to stop the New England referees that has been on a tear for the last two years.
IceBlueWinter ...... I DON'T BELIEVE THAT CRAP, EAGLES OFFENSE IS VERY DEEP NEW ENGLAND WILL STRUGGLE WITH AN AGING QB AS THE EAGLES SHOCK THE WORLD....ON OFFENSE & DEFENSE PHILLY IS VERY GOOD ON BOTH SIDES NEW ENGLAND IS THE PAST OLD ASS TEAM.
Eagles front 9 will make life a living hell for tom brady 12 as phillys OFFENSE puts points on in bunches PHILLY will take this game away from new england.
Please repent from your sins and turn to God, Jesus died on the cross so you have a chance at eternal life with God
