Mercedes Benz Stadium.

.

includes the Xanadu complex, doesn't it?

No comparison - Atlanta's stadium is beautiful. Love the food pricing. Have to give Arthur Blank credit.

No one improved their viewpoint....more concessions.

Club areas are nice

alwayd love the homers jumping in on this saying its not so bad. it sucks. ass.

Would cost upwards of 4.5 billion dollars. The construction cost here are insane.

It's crazy to. Me that 2 teams in New York/nj share a stadium and it's one of the 10 worst in the nfl

at a alltime high when they were building New Meadowlands Stadium? I think that probably also factored into the cost.

Plus they had to find a place for Jimmy Hoffa. No easy task.

I'll probly never go again

But I'm fine with staying inside NJ for going to games

and the worst part is they could have found a way to make the New York Giants actually play in New York but opted to stay in fucking Jersey.

+1 I love the location also. So easy. Just a disappointing building..honestly the old one is better. Literally the only thing decent about MetLife is the 4 Giant screens but even they are almost dated by now.

Sad.

the original stadium designs, before the Jets were involved had a price tag of about $800M and was a much nicer design.

No, Xanadu has nothing to do with the 1.6 billion price tag.

That price tag is just for the stadium itself

I've been to the new atl stadium (for the Tennessee GT College game) and it's freakin gorgeous. The halo board design is the smartest thing I've ever seen and should be a new standard for all stadiums going forward. The concession prices are obviously awesome, and the concourses are big and spacious. The pavilion outside the stadium is also awesome, and again - tons of room.

I'll keep going to MetLife cause it's not bad, but it's getting really old with all the new facilities that are getting built.

Still like Minnesotas stadium more, that place just looks unbelievable, but this is definitely a close second.

They should have gone small like Mara wanted or completely over the top. Instead they got some king of uninspiring middle ground.

because from the two times I have been there, it just plain sucks. The old stadium was not only better, it housed some great fans, well at least in Sec 103...

are the wave of the future, as less people attend games & opt to watch at home/bar/etc.

60 inch tv with free Sunday ticket. Comfortable couch with stocked bar right behind me and loaded fridge in the next room. Parking extremely close and the only obnoxious loud fan around is me.

With a little DVR watching delay, the whole process takes about 2+ hours.

The only downside is I see our Oline up closer than I really want...

Funny how the NFL came up with this very same concept. And thought they could charge fans thousands of dollars per game for this experience. They are called suites lol. Irony...

you talk about the cost of Met Life, don't ever forget to include the loan that the NJ taxpayers paid off for the Giants and Jets owners.

A few years prior to the decision to build a new stadium, some significant upgrades were made to the old stadium-especially in the suite areas.

The upgrades were only in place a few years. When the old stadium was knocked down, it had $123 million outstanding in loans from those upgrades.

The NJ politicians were kind enough to let the NJ taxpayers pay off that $123 million.

And the NJ politicians also agreed that the NJ taxpayers would pay for massive road upgrades to improve traffic, especially on Rt 3 and other arteries into the stadium.
