Home of: The New York Giants (NFC East) and New York Jets (AFC East)
Welcome to MetLife Stadium, the premier home venue for both the New York Giants and New York Jets. Located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, just five miles west of New York City at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, this impressive venue opened in 2010 to replace historic Giants Stadium. Holding over 82,000 passionate fans, it stands as the largest venue in the NFL.
When you step inside, you will experience an architectural design inspired by Manhattan skyscrapers, blending a traditional stone foundation with a sleek exterior of aluminum louvers and glass. The stadium dynamic cleverly transforms to fit its dual residents: interior lighting and massive entrance pylons switch between vibrant blue for the Giants and bright green for the Jets in just hours. Inside, four corner HD video displays and a state-of-the-art audio system keep you right in the action.
Designed to offer clear views across every level, the raked seating bowl ensures you never miss a punt or touchdown pass. Beyond host duty for major NFL matchups, MetLife Stadium has famously hosted Super Bowl XLVIII, top international soccer tournaments, and high-profile concerts, making it an iconic destination for sports lovers visiting the New York area.
