Whoever designed the MetLife toaster should be embarrassed

BlueHurricane : 10/22/2018 8:07 pm
At MercedesBenz in ATL. This place is unreal. Why the hell would we spend so much money and not get a place like this.
our toast hasn't been very good

lately either.
I agree

I can’t believe our stadium cost so much. There’s nothing unique or cool about it.
Haha

Could've had a real home field stadium..went to Pittsburgh and that stadium says Steelers such a nice home feel character stadium
Two teams putting up the money

You were bound to see two different design concepts and a messy aesthetic compromise.

Yeah I was just saying the same thing to my buddy. Metlife is a joke compared to this stadium!
MetLife is an unimaginative, antiseptic  
Mike from Ohio : 10/22/2018 9:38 pm : link
box that could be dropped in any city in America. Another complete miss by Giants ownership.
It looks like an AC Unit

We just have to accept

That Giant ownership is just terrible in almost everyway you could imagine. Guys make fun of Jerry Jones but at least that guy knows how to sell a product.
The sad thing is

Went to the mafia?
We had to work with the Jets  
AcesUp : 10/22/2018 10:17 pm : link
Jets wanted sleek and modern. Giants wanted traditional and nostalgic. We ended up with whatever that thing is. It's a product of compromise and a half measure...sound familiar?

The Jets sleek and modern design would have been better than the piece of garbage they built.

Then they should've built it in Queens instead of pursuing a Manhattan deal that was never going to happen.
BH...you are at the game..

I am stunned by how it sounds like there are NO Giants fans there.
Stunned at this low a turnout.
Good news is that the retractable roof is only four

is an away game you fucking moron
Just returned to the hotel.  
BlueHurricane : 10/22/2018 11:50 pm : link
That stadium is an absolute work of art. A true home field. I’ve been a diehard Giants fan since birth and always wore rose colored glasses in regards to our new stadium. The only other teams stadium I have been to is the Stink which is a nice stadium but nothing like MB. After leaving that place I am ruined forever. What could have been. Shame.

The Giants gave the design job to EwingCole. It's the only stadium they ever designed. It's a soulless uninspired piece of architecture.

Your obsession with crowd splits is disturbing, pathetic and something a mental defective would harp upon constantly. You're Fucking strange. And you will be called out for it consistently. How is that so difficult for you to understand?
Nicest stadium I've been to.  
BigBlue in Keys : 10/23/2018 11:07 pm : link
I liked the open roof instead of a full dome. The huge circular screen blows the Cowboys big screen out of the water. Best in stadium food, beers were $6. Easy entry and exit. Enough stalls in the bathrooms there was never a line more than 2 mins. (Kills me met life has bathrooms with like 3 stalls wtf!) The outside looks like an engineers masterpiece.

Just saw the tailgate thread today, sorry I didn't check back in. I was busy from the second we got in the lot. Hopefully people found us or Big Blue Travel that was right next to us. Must have been at least 500 fans between the 2 tailgates. And Jacobs and Plax stopped by so that was awesome.

Must have been damn close to 50% Giants fans but we were all very quiet. We talked about it after the game. Long weekend plus late night game and not much to cheer for on the field I'd guess. So much for the game but we won the damn tailgate.

They did Citizens Bank Park which is a Fucking marvel compared to the tuna can in Jersey. HOK was the design tech and I'm surprised they came up with something so pathetic. And Bruce Mau peaked in like 2006. Gtfoh with that bullshit.
