MetLife Stadium

MetLife Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, five miles (8 km) west of New York City. Opened in 2010, it replaced Giants Stadium and serves as the home for the New York Giants and New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). At an approximate cost of $1.6 billion, it was the most expensive stadium built in the U.S. at the time of its completion. It is the largest stadium in New Jersey and the New York metro area with a capacity of over 82,000, and is the largest venue in the NFL.
MetLife hosted Super Bowl XLVIII in February 2014. It also hosted nine matches during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, including the final, and hosted eight matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including its final. During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the stadium was temporarily renamed New York New Jersey Stadium.
MetLife Stadium is one of two stadiums shared by two NFL teams; the other is SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers. Additionally, MetLife Stadium is the fifth building in the New York metropolitan area to be home to multiple teams from the same sports league, after the Polo Grounds, which was home to the baseball Giants and Yankees from 1913 to 1922; the third Madison Square Garden, which hosted the NHL's Rangers and Americans from 1926 to 1942; Shea Stadium, which housed both the Mets and Yankees during the 1974 and 1975 seasons and both the Jets and Giants in 1975; and Giants Stadium, which hosted both the Giants and Jets from 1984 to 2009.
