An upgrade over the last place for sure, but if you’ve ever been to AT&T Stadium you can’t help but feel MetLife is a swing and a miss.

Find me an owner who will spend 1.3 billion.

Believe Texas taxpayers also ponied up 375 million.

Fine. Jets and Giants spent 1.6 billion. That’s a lot less bang for the buck.

Kevin comparing the NJ swamp to 25 yards off the Laguardia runway in Queens as the pro-Met Life argument is priceless.  I suspect Kevin is to young to have gone to a Jets game at the old Giant Stadium.   It was actually a better place to watch a Jets game than the new Giants/Jets Stadium.  At least you could see the game without a nose bleed.

It was a much better venue to watch an actual football game.  Met Life is half a stadium.  1/2 for the corporate crowd and a dump a mile from the field for the fans.  

I've been to at least 15 NFL stadiums.  Met Life is one of the worst in the NFL.  

Dude did your momy or dady take you to games at Giant Stadium?

In 12 seasons both teams have a lossing record at Met Life and there has been 1 home playoff game by the Giants at Met Life.  This year the Jets are 3 and 5 at Met Life.  It's among the worst home fields in the NFL.

Agree on everything except I don't think it's even an upgrade over the last place.

We just need the Jets to take over the NFL for 6 weeks (2 regular season W's and 4 postseason W's).

It consistently ranks near the bottom.  Not as bad as FedEx field in Washington but on a relative basis one of the worst fan experience stadiums in the NFL. 

Having nothing to do with money spent to build because Green Bay and Arrowhead are consistently in the top 5.  So is Sofi, and the Vikings stadium.  

From my own experience as a former Cardinals season ticket holder.  Far better game day experience, view of the field, better food, lower cost, better parking.  It's also not a luxurious stadium and it's not a big stadium which is a plus.  They spent money to protect the fans from weather but it's really a concrete low cost stadium with the exception of the field itself and the roof.   It is domed and the dome retracts which is great for night games and late season games when the weather is good.   You can be in the upper deck and you're relatively close to the action compared to Met Life.

It’s a great stadium lacking a great team.

I have no idea how they rank stadiums and who ranks them.  Arrowhead was consistently in the top of the league while the old Giants stadium was near the bottom.  They’re the exact same building built by the same group.  I don’t care about concessions, variety of foods etc and whatever “fan experience” they arbitrarily rated.

Ridgewood is close to the swamp.  When I lived in NYC I used to drive out to Bomgart's to stuff myself on Chinese food and Ice Cream sundays.

Arrowhead is awesome.  Great food, wonderful HOF in the stadium basement.  You would love walking around the HOF.  All the guys the Jets team played against in the 60's.  The stadium is also rocking and the seating is very close to the field.  It has a lot more personality than the old Giant stadium.  I actually liked the field view in the old Giant Stadium even though it was a nondiscript boring building.  Arrowhead has a lot of fun touches that the old Giant stadium didn't have.

That is no excuse. It doesn't stop builders in NYC from building luxurious skyscrapers. And we had 2 teams paying compared to only one in Dallas. So, we could have paid twice as much.

[BigB]

I was a season ticket holder for both Giants stadium and Metlife. They both were just concrete slabs with no personality and the wind on cold days just was and still is the worst. Maybe Shea's wind was a little worse since the dirt just flew up everywhere. In the upper tiers at Giants stadium you felt like you were miles away from the action. The only good thing was the ushers did not even want to climb the stairs so smoking weed and sneaking in and drinking beer in uppers was no issue. The first cold game at Metlife I told the usher to close the blades on the stadium thinking they could close like blinds and would prevent the wind from streaming through from one gold post to the other; what a joke.  For two teams spending billions of $ on one stadium they should have at least put a dome on the stadium and gave it some life. They really should name it JetDeath stadium.

They need to eliminate food being sold in stadiums. God forbid modern humans spend four hours without stuffing their faces.

If you are in the lower level at Arrowhead, you can leave your seat and be out of the stadium in 45 seconds.  MetLife involves being jam packed like sardines in a concourse trying to get to a single escalator.  In an emergency people will die from being trampled.  Absolutely no consideration was given to the flow of foot traffic.

I would have thought for sure New York was up there at the top. I guess the saying holds true, everything is bigger in Texas, or in this case everyone is bigger in Texas.
