Top moments in MetLife Stadium history?

But it was nice to win the first regular season game in the joint vs Carolina in 2010.

Odell's catch is famous... but we still lost that fucking game. IDK. Beating Dallas at home in 2016, big game, Jack Rabbit seemed to end Dez Bryant's career in that game, wrote the book on how to shut him down. Low scoring but great game.

So that win (vs Ravens, 2016) was definitely a top moment.

When we went toe to toe with the Patriots as they finished the season undefeated. If there was ever such thing as a moral victory that was it. Classic Tom Coughlin team moment.

Wasn't that Giants Stadium?

but for me I remember the Skins game where Manning hits Cruz late for the TD after RGIII had tossed a TD to Moss.

I guess just the win vs. the Hawks in the '11 WC game. Other than that, nothing comes to mind.

The stadium sucks BTW.

Maybe throw in the 2016 Dallas game they won 10-7 with those already mentioned but both the Jets and Giants have just been dreadful the past decade.

Guns n Roses in summer of 2016 is my second best MetLife Stadium experience after the Atlanta playoff game.

will be the top moment.

has been a horror show for the Giants.

It's a pretty lame stadium and the team can't seem to win games there either.

+1
Place blows

Anyone over 60 will never see that day. Essentially, the Sopranos built a block of concrete that looks like a massive diner on Route 46, but on Route 3.

And TWO teams paid for it. And look what Atlanta got for close to the same money.

there. That has to count for something.

.

When a foot long hot dog and beer combo cost only $30.00

in 2012 was absolutely wild.

The last 8 years for that stadium have been a joke. 8 years of forgettable football

& it’s only going into its 12th season. So it isn’t been ALL bad, but definitely mostly bad. As for top memories:

-Victor Cruz TD against the Jets although that was technically a road game.
-Beating Dallas on the season finale in 2011
-Beating the Falcons 24-2 in the playoffs
-Beating Dallas 10-7 in 2016
-Beckham one handed catch (I think this is overrated personally, but fans clearly love it. It was voted #1 moment on SNF history.)

Slim pickings obviously.

The Tampa game in 2012 which is mentioned above, and the late go ahead TD Eli to Cruz against the Redskins in 2012.

by the question mark in the OP title.

But there is always tomorrow...

My season tickets after 35 years.

in the first preseason game there vs the Jets. The stadium was officially ours.

debut against the Jets on a steamy summer night. Lit it up before the half, and then the insane Rain Delay.

Been to a handful of games, but god damn I was at that GNR show too and it was unforgettable.

Let’s hope things change the next few years.

Eli was phenomenal and the team refused to start the season 0-2.

Phenomenal in the second half, I should really say.

2016 Ravens game was pretty fun.

Agree with others, that place is a dump and a horror show. It's just a place for bad football and the first thing I think of is all the away loser fans taking over the stadium at the end of nearly every game there.

Loser team. Loser management. Loser players. Loser coaches.

Good call on the '12 Bucs game, '16 Ravens, & '11 Jets game.

I've been to Metlife once-Bears vs. Giants, December '18-and...I'm good. The place blows. It has no atmosphere. I miss the old Giants Stadium.

The truth stings like a 1000 Ben McAdoo haircuts

Jenkins is a high variance corner. Kind of reminds me of Eli in that respect. He was ELITE that year. But Dezs career was over when he broke his foot. He was a terrible route runner and when he lost his ability to cut even close to explosively off one foot, he became an easy cover.

I have to ask though...are you still warming up or are these the good examples of you being a notch above most posters?

... had to be Eli's last start and win against the Dolphins.

Shurmer did a nice job pulling him from the game with 2 minutes left so Eli could hear the fans chant his name one last time and thank him for the memories.

Maybe not a meaningful game but it was sure as hell memorable.

The only thing I'm warming up is another pizza in tne oven of truth. It could feed an entire family of 12.

Eh, the team playing like shit has a lot to do with that.

There was a game the Giants actually breast the eagles which in itself is exciting. Then there was a game against the saints that I went to with Montreal Man, which was always a good time

in the first season of Metlife. That's the game where we sacked Cutler 10 times and really beat the shit out of him. It was also the first Ring of Honor ceremony in the new stadium at halftime. That was a fun one to go to.

Also went to the first game of the 2012 season coming off SB 46, in which we lost to Dallas. That wasn't such a fun one to attend.

Went there with my kids after watching the parade.

Best MetLife moments.... thinking... still thinking.... I punt.

better times ahead. #LFGGmen!

Yeah, I guess Eli’s last game. Definitely Victah saving Christmas. Pretty sure it was MetLife where they had monkeys riding on dogs at a half time show. That’s all I got for now…

with the 2016 run. Rest has been garbage befitting that shitbox of a stadium. They did everything wrong with the fan experience - parking, traffic, entering the stadium, sightlines and seat design.

The Legacy Club is fun and some of the expensive suites are nice but the average fan got dealt an atrocious hand.

Great post.

I know I've said this before, but damm there are so many forgettable games the Giants have "competed" in during the last 10 years. A good chunk of the early Coughlin years (2005-2012) I could name you almost every game and remember what happened.

I forgot about that 2018 home game vs Chicago lol I had to look up the schedule to see who won and it was right after that pathetic game against the Eagles on the road. Shurmur should've been fired right then and there. And then what happens? They blow it two more times in 2019 and 2020 in Philly. What a joke.

I used to take it personal with Tuck, Eli, Jacobs, Bradshaw, Tynes, Strahan, Nicks, Cruz, Pierce, Osi, JPP, Toomer, Plaxico etc. but these recent players just ... kinda suck lol win SOMETHING for Johnny Peppers sake.
