Good to see the stadium coming together. Love how close it is to Sofi

Looks good. I love futuristic stadiums. Frankly imo, there’s nothing more boring than a classical football stadium
Seeing how all the new stadiums are turning out, feels like NY/NJ missed out on a lot of potential with MetLife.
These stadium’s exteriors are cool and very unique and then you see MetLife stadium and it’s very bland. It is not even that old as it’s only been about ten years. All these stadiums will more than likely hold multiple superbowls in their lifetime while MetLife is unlikely to get one anytime soon.
Even looking at NY’s other stadiums like Yankee stadium, Citi Field, Barclays, and UBS Arena imo, puts MetLife to shame in presence alone. MetLife just seems to be a mid stadium and that’s shocking since it’s located in the most valuable sports market. Hopefully NY’s next stadium is something innovative and is grand to the point it will hold multiple superbowls.

I’d love to see something on the level of Sofi or Allegiant stadiums, preferably near Citifield.
New York City needs an iconic football stadium and it just doesn’t have it

Interesting development. Seems like politicians are less inclined these days to subsidize new football stadiums. I wonder why.

Nice, another downtown stadium. As it should be. And then there’s also the new Thunder Arena

They’re putting soccer next to Citifeld, which makes sense for Queens. For Football, I’m sure the Jets and Giants know where their season ticket holders live. Moving the teams, which have been in New Jersey for 50 years, to Queens might be too big of an inconvenience for those who live in New Jersey. The team’s headquarters and practice facilities are in New Jersey, the Jets just built a brand-new facility on the former Exxon headquarters property, the players and the Ownership live in New Jersey.
They need to improve transit at the Meadowlands and fill out all that empty space with hotels, condos and something similar to Xfinity Live in Philadelphia. The stadium on the inside is fine, I’ve been to games and the sight lines are superb.
For me priority # 1 for new venues begins and ends with Madison Square Garden. Replacing and moving that facility will solve so many issues that make the opinions about Metlife seem inconseqential.
