MetLife Stadium
Two NFL rivals share one $1.6-billion field that glows blue for the Giants and green for the Jets.

The NFL's largest venue, seating over 82,000, and the priciest US stadium when it opened in 2010. It hosted Super Bowl XLVIII, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final, and is set to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup final — branded New York New Jersey Stadium for the tournament.
What to look for
- Exterior lighting that switches team colors — blue for the Giants, green for the Jets — an idea borrowed from Munich's Allianz Arena
- Ten LED pylons, roughly 54 ft tall, at the north, south, east and west entrances, playing video of whichever team is in-house
- The 400-foot 'Great Wall' at the west entrance, which rotates to show murals of both teams
It sits at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey — about 5 mi (8 km) west of New York City, not in the city itself.
