'''MetLife Stadium''' is a [[multi-purpose stadium]] at the [[Meadowlands Sports Complex]] in [[East Rutherford, New Jersey]], United States, 5&nbsp;mi (8&nbsp;km) west of [[New York City]]. It opened in 2010, replacing [[Giants Stadium]], and serves as the home for the [[New York Giants]] and [[New York Jets]] of the [[National Football League]] (NFL). It is also scheduled to host the [[2026 FIFA World Cup final|final]] of the [[2026 FIFA World Cup]]. At an approximate cost of $1.6 billion, it was the most expensive stadium built in the United States at the time of its completion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.totalprosports.com/2011/10/27/11-most-expensive-stadiums-in-the-world/|title=11 Most Expensive Stadiums In The World|author=Esteban|date=October 27, 2011|publisher=Total Pro Sports|access-date=September 2, 2012|archive-date=August 27, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120827201315/http://www.totalprosports.com/2011/10/27/11-most-expensive-stadiums-in-the-world/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

MetLife Stadium is one of two NFL stadiums shared by two 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 [[New York Giants (NL)|the baseball Giants]] and [[New York Yankees|Yankees]] from 1913 to 1922, the third [[Madison Square Garden (1925)|Madison Square Garden]] which hosted the [[National Hockey League|NHL]]'s [[New York Rangers|Rangers]] and [[New York Americans|Americans]] from 1926 to 1942, [[Shea Stadium]], which housed both the [[New York Mets|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. MetLife Stadium hosted [[Super Bowl XLVIII]] and will host multiple matches during the [[2025 FIFA Club World Cup]] and the [[2026 FIFA World Cup]], including [[2025 FIFA Club World Cup final|both]] [[2026 FIFA World Cup final|finals]]. It is the largest stadium in New Jersey with a capacity of over 82,000, along with being the largest venue in the NFL.

==History==
As [[Giants Stadium]] approached 30 years of age, it was becoming one of the older stadiums in the NFL. The Jets, who had been the tenants to the Giants, were looking to have a proposed [[West Side Stadium]] built in [[Manhattan]]. Originally intended to be the 85,000-seat main stadium for [[New York City bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics|New York's bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics]], it was designed to be downsized to 75,000 seats for the Jets. However, it would have required significant public funding; progress on the project was halted in 2005 due to opposition from a number of sources, including [[Cablevision]], who owned the nearby [[Madison Square Garden]] at the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ny.curbed.com/2015/1/30/9997132/how-the-new-york-jets-very-nearly-got-a-west-side-stadium|title=How the New York Jets Very Nearly Got a West Side Stadium|date=January 30, 2015|website=Curbed NY|language=en|access-date=March 16, 2019|archive-date=April 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180412212136/https://ny.curbed.com/2015/1/30/9997132/how-the-new-york-jets-very-nearly-got-a-west-side-stadium|url-status=live}}</ref> The Giants then entered into a joint venture with the Jets to build a new stadium in which the two New York teams would be equal partners.

==Design and planning==
{{Multiple image|direction=vertical|align=right|image1=Newmeadowlands1207.jpg|image2=Giant's Stadium Old and New.jpg|width=200|caption2=MetLife Stadium under construction in 2007 (top) and 2008 (bottom) near Giants Stadium}}

The architects were tasked with designing a neutral stadium that would still embody the distinct personalities of both franchises. The Giants favored a traditional look of exposed [[steel framework]] and rusticated stone while the Jets wanted a sleek and modern look highlighted by metal and glass. With those features in mind the designers used the column/tower dynamic seen in many of Manhattan's [[skyscrapers]] as inspiration for the stadium's design.<ref name="New Meadowlands Stadium">{{cite web|url=https://archpaper.com/2010/10/new-meadowlands-stadium/|title=New Meadowlands Stadium|date=October 15, 2010|website=The Architects Newspaper|access-date=July 10, 2017|archive-date=August 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170818090044/https://archpaper.com/2010/10/new-meadowlands-stadium/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The base of the stadium's facade is clad in [[limestone]]-like stonework while the rest of the stadium is distinguished by an outer skin of [[aluminum]] [[louver]]s and glass and by interior lighting capable of switching colors, depending on which team is currently playing–blue for the Giants and green for the Jets.<ref>{{cite news|last=Sandomir|first=Richard|title=Kaleidoscope of Colors Coming to New Stadium|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=September 5, 2007|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/05/sports/football/05stadium.html|access-date=August 3, 2009|archive-date=December 20, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220221933/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/05/sports/football/05stadium.html|url-status=live}}</ref> This idea originated at the [[Allianz Arena]] in [[Munich]], Germany; which was previously shared between the city's two major [[association football|soccer]] clubs, [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] and [[TSV 1860 München|1860 Munich]]. Unlike Giants Stadium, MetLife Stadium can easily be reconfigured for the Giants or Jets within a matter of hours.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d81769e5f&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true|title=New Meadowlands Stadium Getting Ready for Soft Opening|agency=Associated Press|work=NFL.com|year=2010|access-date=July 19, 2010|archive-date=April 12, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100412062539/http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d81769e5f&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true|url-status=live}}</ref> The louvers' total linear length is exactly 50,000 meters (50 kilometers) or 163,681 feet (31.1 miles).

Front row 50 yard line seats are {{convert|46|ft|m}} away from the [[Sidelines|sideline]], which is the shortest distance of all NFL stadiums. To change the field decorations, two 4-person crews take approximately 18 hours using forklifts and other machinery to remove the 40 sections of [[Act Global]] UBU Speed Series which make up the teams' respective [[end zone]]s.<ref>{{cite news |first1=Rebecca|last1=Rosenberg|first2=Rich|last2=Calder|title=Now That's a Big 'Turnover'|newspaper=[[New York Post]]|date=September 13, 2010|url=http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/now_that_big_turnover_y6egXQIvA0PzPS4axbdT2N|access-date=September 14, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101018030340/http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/now_that_big_turnover_y6egXQIvA0PzPS4axbdT2N|archive-date=October 18, 2010}}</ref> Replaceable team logos at midfield were removed in August 2010, after [[Domenik Hixon]] tore his anterior cruciate ligament at a practice at the stadium during training camp.

If the two teams are playing each other, the designated home team will have its configuration around the stadium. During their annual preseason matchups, both the Giants and the Jets will have an end zone with their team logo. Additionally in 2023, the stadium installed a new artificial surface called the [[FieldTurf]] Core System, the first multilayer dual-polymer monofilament fiber surface. The new surface also contains heavyweight infill. Overall, the system should be more durable and lower incidences of player injury.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/36003498/new-field-turf-installed-metlife-stadium-home-giants-jets|title=New field turf installed at MetLife Stadium, home of Giants and Jets|website=ESPN.com|date=March 30, 2023|accessdate=July 24, 2024}}</ref>

MetLife Stadium includes a total of four locker rooms: one each for the Giants and Jets, as well as two for visiting teams. The home teams have locker rooms on opposite ends of the stadium with a visitors' locker room adjacent to it. On most game days the visitors use the locker room at the end opposite that of the home team while the unused visitors' locker room is used for spillover by the home team.<ref name="tour"/><ref>{{cite news|title=New Meadowlands Stadium|first=Aron|last=Seward|url=http://archpaper.com/news/articles.asp?id=4880|work=The Architect's Newspaper|date=October 15, 2010|access-date=October 30, 2011|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304032126/http://archpaper.com/news/articles.asp?id=4880|url-status=dead}}</ref> For games in which neither the Giants or Jets are playing, each team uses one of the visitor's locker rooms. When the Giants and Jets play each other, each team uses its own locker room plus the adjacent visitor's room for spillover.

In 2012, [[DLR Group]] partnered with [[NRG Energy]] to design and install a "Solar Ring" on the upper rim of MetLife Stadium. The Solar Ring consists of 1,350 building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) [[solar panels]] assembled into 47 individual frames. The BIPV panels are illuminated with LED lighting and programmed to display the signature blue and green colors of the Giants and the Jets along with other hues for events such as concerts, soccer matches, and college sports. The panels generate about 350 KW, nearly 25 times the amount of electricity that's actually needed to power the LED display system. The excess power generated can go into the general stadium use or back to the grid.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dlrgroup.com/work/metlife-stadium-solar-ring/|title=MetLife Stadium Solar Ring|publisher=DLR Group|date=2012|access-date=July 11, 2017|archive-date=October 29, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171029085801/http://www.dlrgroup.com/work/metlife-stadium-solar-ring/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nrg.com/renewables/projects/business/metlife-stadium/|title=MetLife Stadium Solar Ring lighted with a programmable, customizable multi-color LED array|publisher=NRG Energry|access-date=July 11, 2017|archive-date=June 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170622180041/http://www.nrg.com/renewables/projects/business/metlife-stadium/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In January 2024, renovations began on the lower bowl of MetLife Stadium to enlarge the playing field to meet necessary FIFA requirements to host the eight games, including the final, of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. To limit disruption of regular stadium usage, the project is being done in two phases. Phase I was completed in May 2024 and Phase II will commence in January 2025 and be completed in May 2025.

To expand the field's dimensions for the tournament and maintain the current NFL seating capacity and layout, four corners of the existing precast concrete seating bowl will be demolished and replaced with a new modular steel composite seating system that includes related mechanical, electrical, audio visual and plumbing adjustments. Additionally, 1,740 permanent seats will be replaced with the new seating system.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.roi-nj.com/2024/02/26/lifestyle/renovations-begin-at-metlife-in-east-rutherford-to-ready-stadium-for-world-cup/|title=Renovations begin at MetLife in East Rutherford to ready stadium for World Cup|website=roi-nj.com|date=February 26, 2024|access-date=February 27, 2024}}</ref>

==Technical agreements==
===Lease terms===
[[File:Meadowlands Sports Complex - kingsley - 04-JUL-09.JPG|thumb|right|View of MetLife Stadium (under construction) and [[Giants Stadium]] (on right) in July 2009]]
The two teams formed the New Meadowlands Stadium Company, LLC, a 50/50 joint venture, to build and operate the stadium. The two teams leased the parcel of land on which the stadium stands from the NJSEA for a 25-year term, with options to extend it which could eventually reach 97 years. After the 15th year of the lease, and every five years, hence; one of the two teams may opt out of the lease after giving the state 12 months notice. The first such opportunity to opt out will occur in 2025 with a notice date of 2024. There will then be an opportunity to opt out in 2030, 2035, 2040, etc. However, if one team leaves for a new stadium, the other team would have to remain for the remainder of the lease. However, the high cost of building and relocating to a stadium makes it very unlikely. The teams also get parking revenue from the Meadowlands' western parking lots year round, even when there are no events at the stadium (this would occur when other parts of the Meadowlands host events).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/index.ssf?%2Fbase%2Fsports-0%2F1166680667100530.xml&coll=1 |title=Archived copy |access-date=April 1, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080918023654/http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/index.ssf?%2Fbase%2Fsports-0%2F1166680667100530.xml&coll=1 |archive-date=September 18, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Naming rights===
[[Allianz]], a financial services and insurance company based in [[Munich]], Germany, expressed interest in purchasing naming rights to the stadium. The proposal was for a period of up to 30 years,<ref>{{cite news|last1=Sandomir|first1=Richard|last2=Robinson|first2=Joshua|title=Negotiations With Allianz on Naming of Stadium|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=August 31, 2008|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/01/sports/football/01nfl.html|access-date=August 3, 2009|archive-date=June 15, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615135002/https://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/01/sports/football/01nfl.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and was estimated to be valued at between $20&nbsp;million and US$30&nbsp;million. Allianz sponsors the venue that inspired the color-change technology for MetLife Stadium: [[Allianz Arena#Stadium specifics|Allianz Arena]] in Munich.

Allianz's proposal drew protests from New York's [[Jewish]] community (the largest outside of Israel) and the [[Anti-Defamation League]], due to Allianz previous close ties to the government of [[Nazi Germany]] during [[World War II]]. Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum, secretary general of the North American Board of Rabbis, noted however that while the survivors' sensibilities were understandable, a naming deal is legitimate, noting "I have found Allianz to be receptive, to be sensitive and a friend of the Jewish people today."<ref>{{cite news|last=Yaniv|first=Oren|title=Giants and Jets Fans Join Uproar Over Stadium Naming Rights Bid by Firm With Holocaust Ties|newspaper=[[Daily News (New York)|Daily News]]|location=New York|date=September 11, 2008|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/2008/09/10/2008-09-10_giants_and_jets_fans_join_uproar_over_st.html|access-date=September 11, 2008|archive-date=February 3, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203131923/http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/2008/09/10/2008-09-10_giants_and_jets_fans_join_uproar_over_st.html|url-status=live}}</ref> No agreement was reached and talks between Allianz and the teams ended on September 12, 2008.<ref>{{cite news|title=Allianz Drops Bid for Naming Rights|first=Richard|last=Sandomir|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/13/sports/football/13stadium.html|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=September 12, 2008|access-date=February 28, 2010|archive-date=January 5, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180105222210/http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/13/sports/football/13stadium.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===EPA agreement===
In June 2009, the New Meadowlands Stadium Corporation and the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] signed a memorandum of understanding that outlines plans to incorporate environmentally-friendly materials and practices into the construction and operation of MetLife Stadium. The agreement includes strategies to reduce air pollution, conserve water, and energy, improve waste management, and reduce the environmental impact of construction. The goal of the agreement is to save the emission of nearly 1.68&nbsp;million metric tons of [[carbon dioxide]] during the stadium's construction and its first year of operation. Under this agreement, the stadium construction must use around 40,000 tons of recycled steel, recycle 20,000 tons of steel from Giants Stadium, install seating made from recycled plastic and [[scrap iron]], and reduce air pollution from construction vehicles by using cleaner diesel fuel, diesel engine filters, and minimizing [[engine idle]] times. Other goals of this agreement include providing mass transit options for fans and replacing traditional concession plates, cups and carries with compostable alternatives. The New Meadowlands Stadium Corporation is to report the progress on its goals to EPA every six months. Based on the reports, the EPA has stated it will quantify the benefits of the venue's environmental efforts.<ref>{{cite press release|publisher=United States Environmental Protection Agency|date=June 1, 2009|title=EPA, New York Giants and New York Jets Team Up to Make New Meadowlands Stadium a Beacon of "Green"|url=http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/0/EB8BD7874DB85F38852575C8005452A8|access-date=February 21, 2011|archive-date=June 9, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609072324/http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/0/EB8BD7874DB85F38852575C8005452A8|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=EPA, New Meadowlands Stadium Developers Lay Green Groundwork|url=http://concreteproducts.com/architectural-structural-prestressed/meadowlands-stadium-groundwork-20090701/|work=Concrete Products|date=July 1, 2009|access-date=February 21, 2010}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
