Stadium Information

About MetLife Stadium

MetLife Stadium made history for being the only NFL stadium to have two teams - the Giants and the Jets. The owners of the two teams used private funds to build MetLife Stadium and it was the most expensive stadium ever built for NFL teams. However, it is only the second biggest stadium.

MetLife Stadium delivers one of the largest game-day experiences in the NFL, serving as home to both the New York Giants and New York Jets. The venue is built for scale, with massive crowds and a high-energy environment for major matchups.

Located in the Meadowlands just outside New York City, the stadium is accessible by car, rideshare, and NJ Transit rail service on game days.

The seating bowl offers wide sightlines throughout, with upper levels providing a full view of the action in this expansive venue.
