Description

Construction of the Metlife Stadium began in 2007 and was completed in 2010. It replaced the previous Giants stadium, which was built in 1976. The stadium's location near New York City makes it accessible to fans from different parts of the city and neighboring states.

The stadium is the home arena for two NFL teams, the New York Giants and the New York Jets. The clubs jointly own the stadium, dividing it into equal shares. They also collaborate on stadium management through the New Meadowlands Stadium Company. An important financial partner of the stadium is MetLife Corporation, which acquired the naming rights to the stadium in 2011.

Metlife Stadium is known for its modern architecture and powerful technical capabilities. It holds about 82,000 spectators, making it one of the largest stadiums in the NFL. It is also worth noting that the construction cost was an impressive $1.6 billion, which makes Metlife Stadium the most expensive stadium in the world.

Due to its capacity, modern amenities and amazing atmosphere, Metlife Stadium attracts many fans and sporting events. In 2026, it will also host the final of the FIFA World Cup, which underlines its status and importance in the global sports arena.
