What most fans not familiar with this area of the country don't understand is that the Jets are a Queens/Brooklyn/Long Island team while the Giants are Manhattan, Westchester, and Northern Jersey. Moving the Jets to the other side of the Hudson is like moving any other team 150 miles away. The traffic going from LI to the Meadowlands is horrific. 3 hours each way for a 3 hour game. You spend more time driving than at the game unless you want to tailgate and make a whole day out of it. As a result, when the Jets have a "home" game, its usually filled with about 50% Jets fans, 25% of opposing teams fans, and 25% of Giants fans who can't get seats to Giants games. There is no home field advantage. It's been around since 2010 and I have never attended a game there and have no desire to do so. Jets need to move back to Queens next to CitiField
His obsession with every stadium needing a roof is getting to be eye rolling, just in my view. I almost want to dare him to make a video saying why a roof needs to be put on Lambeau Field just to have Packers fans go ape in the comments.
The NFL basically owed the Giants and the Jets for saving the league when they agreed to revenue-sharing decades of go. This is why the league gave them the Superbowl in the open-air stadium.
I was in this stadium for the first ever game with tickets in the field level club. Got to stand behind the Giants bench during the game which was a very cool element to see in a new stadium. Other than that, it was no big draw and I've never seen a reason to travel for another NFL game near New York City. It's quite plain as what should be a premier stadium.
As a Packer fan I love stadiums right in the heart of town. The Lions the Vikings and the Bears(for now) are downtown. I've thought that Met-Life stadium has been blah from the start. They have more seats than Lambeau but have some seats are just too far up.
What does the future hold for MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, home to the UFL's New Jersey Generals and the NFL's New York Giants, and for the NFL's New York Jets and the UFL's New York Hitmen in Manhattan, New York? What developments are expected for these iconic stadiums?
I was just there for the nhl stadium series game and my god that was a nightmare getting in and out, I don't want to go there ever again it looks and feels more like an institution than a stadium
I must say that I've never seen a game at MetLife, but from TV and pictures I don't really see why it "sucks". The design seems like your standard layout for football, and especially wanting to have a large number of seats with good sightlines. I also think it's cool how the stadiums lights and signage were set up to quickly change from Jets to Giants and vice versa so each team does get more of a home stadium feel when they're playing.

who’s here after FIFA announced that it will host the World Cup Final 😭
MetLife will never get the Super Bowl again but it is getting the World Cup finals now that’s way bigger than the Super Bowl.
Met life is the modern verson of FedEx field the Commanders play in. It's one of the first billion dollar stadiums, and people say it's an eye shore.
MetLife stadium doesn’t have a roof because the Giants and Jets want the cold weather advantage.

I don’t understand the issue with wraparound upper deck. Why is it bad? What do I care I don’t want to see outside I want see the field.
The 2026 World Cup Final is being hosted there. (:

What's your fascination with domed stadiums and roofs in general? Enclosed stadiums truly suck!

Here after the announcement that the 2026 world cup final will be in this stadium! 😅

Football is meant to be played outdoors. It’s part of the experience. The elements being involved and the unpredictability makes it special.
local here. 3 things happened
AT&T stadium is an idealized re-creation of Texas Stadium, but it works!
