I went down to the new stadium this morning and it was very impressive. The construction is still ongoing but it is coming together quickly. I'll start with the pictures outside the stadium, as you can see the outside is nearly complete the train station is very close to the entrances, the plazas are huge and easy to navigate. The rep also told me that inside tailgaiting/railgating will take place near the Bud Light area and will feature BBQ packages where you can preorder a package and they will have the food,grill,beer and anything else you need waiting for you. And of course regular parking lot tailgating will be unaffected.Also when you enter through the main entrance you will be ground level and will have a view of the field right in front of you. Here's some pics!
Let's move inside, Main entrance.
Lower Level Concourses and Concessions. All I have to say is there were bathrooms galore alot of family bathrooms, and the concession stand were very wide with alot of room to accomodate large crowds and LCD tv's everywhere!!
OK! Lower Level pics. There was alot of floor sealing going on alot of the sections were taped off and unaccessible, I tried the best I can but with a little imagination and a seating chart you can figure out your view of the field. Also the camera will make sites look farther away at times. But I assure you any seat on the Lower Level is worthy of the money you spent all great views and very close to the field.
SECTION 121 ROW 44
SECTION 123 ON RIGHT,SECTION 123 ON THE LEFT
SECTION 129 OR 104
SECTION 131 WITH 133 OFF TO THE LEFT, GREAT SEATS(BAK ROW)
BACK ROWS SEC 131 LOOKING DOWN TO SEC 121
Alright time to head up to the Mezzanine, again could not get to most sections. I thought the the Mezz A sections had wonderful views, you can really see the whole field you won't miss a thing! The Mezz B sections are not as high as the upper level in the old stadium No Way!! The video boards on the sides are huge but should not interfere with field sightlines. Again very nice views! Bathrooms and concessions right behind the lower part of Mezz B easy access and family bathrooms at the right and left of Mezz A.
MEZZANINE CONCESSIONS
SECTION 224A ROW 8 OR 249A ROW 8
SECTION 221
SECTION 224 B OR 249 B
SECTION 231
And now the Upper Level, Endzones and Corner endzones might be a tough view especially in the higher rows, But I say any section on the sidelines will provide excellent views.

Well I hope this helped alot of you out, it was work to get these pictures but loved every minute of it. I am also posting a link to my PHOTOBUCKET so you can view over 150 other stadium pictures. Any questions feel free to ask I'll answer to the best of my memory. Take Care Everybody!!

Question :
Is the outer wall behind the Mezzanine section open except for those "louvers" around the outside ?
If so....that wind is gonna come howling thru there.
First of all it is huge....twice the mass of Giants Stadium. That may block a lot of the wind.
Secondly, it's turned a few degrees into the prevailing wind. The way that hawk comes rolling down the last hill in East Rutherford, and barrels across the wetlands....it used to hit the old stadium right on the SW corner and swirl around like a hurricane. The new Meadowlands may be turned just enough.
Third, those louvers may be just the thing to "dampen" the wind. I'm hoping they did some testing and analysis before they drove the first shovel in the ground.
Hey...for $1.6B they should get the whole catalogue.
Matt - it helps make the stadium look more occupied when it's empty. A concession to the Jets, I think...
They sure do have a lot of work to do in 3 weeks. I can see why PSL holders can't get in yet. Too bad they didn't get it done on schedule (they won't say that though!)
It looks like the upper level concourse is exposed to the elements.
It looks like the upper level concourse is exposed to the elements. Or is there glass?
I am glad to hear that you feel that the mezz is not as high as the upper deck in the old stadium, What do you think about the height of the back section of the upper deck?
Thanks again
Thanks.
NYG 4 LIFE!
In the 3rd to last photo, the workers are wearing hardhats with JETS logos. Hmmmmm. Preparing for MNFL I guess...
Great photos
BIGBLUE135 as you can see in this picture the red arrows indicate exit stairs and an exit wheelchair ramp that leads to a lower level concourse underneath and behind the lower level stands, if memory serves me right!!
Thanks,
Dan
Does anyone else think the shadow is strange? What time of day was this taken? If that is the way it is during a game, it will be distracting.
Ballanda you right, sorry it was 222 near 223. I posted this late night so my eyes weren't right!
I was offered (can't remember the section) yet opposite 104 and closest to the higher PSL's. It was right on the railing though. Was concerned about the obstruction view.
104 - the Giants tunnel!!!!
Our stadium will be the opposite, ugly outside but rich in tradition and class inside. The bowl is impressive and the 4 giant screens rock. I'm excited to see the place 'lit up', could change my overall impression from the outside once I get to see it.
It's official! I'm in Sect 224B, row 14 (under the overhang) 2 seats from the aisle. Woo-hoo! Thanks again bud. IOU a beer!
