 MetLife
Stadium
East
Rutherford, NJ
The
New York Giants have a rich football history dating back to 1925
that includes 30 playoff appearances and three Super Bowl
championships. Fans and the team hope that this continues as the
Giants started a new chapter in their history at MetLife Stadium in
2010. In
September 2005, both the Giants and Jets announced that they had
reached an agreement to build a new stadium in the Meadowlands.
For nearly five years, both teams had been exploring options of
having separate stadiums built, the Jets on Manhattan's west
side, and the Giants in New Jersey. After the Jets failed to get
a new stadium built in Manhattan, they decided to team up with
the Giants to build a new stadium adjacent to Giants Stadium.
In September 2007, renderings and details of
the new Meadowlands stadium were released. Although site work
begin in April 2007, official groundbreaking was
held on September 5, 2007. The has a seating
capacity of 82,500 in four levels that enclose the stadium. This
includes 9,200 club seats and 117 luxury suites. Fans sitting in
the front row along the 50 yard line seats are the closest to
the action in the NFL at 46 feet away. It
features two club areas, the Coach's Club and the mezzanine
level clubs. The Coach's Club features a 20,000 square foot bar
and lounge on the field deck just five yards from the team's
bench. On the mezzanine level are the east and west side clubs
where fans can enjoy a climate controlled atmosphere and a
variety of food and beverages.
Fans can see replays from the
gridiron on four 40' x 130' video/scoreboards that are located
in each corner below the upper deck.
