Giants And Jets Uncover New Stadium Design

The Giants and the Jets have uncovered the first stadium to be jointly owned by two NFL teams and the plan is to make two competing teams feel at home in a $1.3 billion stadium

The stadium is located on a 40-acre tract and has got five parking lots between the existing stadium and the racetrack this eight-story; open-air stadium will be the first in the league to house two franchises.

The stadium has been financed by a 50-50 joint venture of the teams and about $300 million in state funds.

Steve Tisch who is the chairman and executive vice president of the New York Giants has said that “Ensuring that the stadium would feel like home to both teams and both groups of fans was our goal and also one of the biggest challenges in the design of the stadium and to do that, the stadium will feature an eight-story mega display, called the “Great Wall, with 400-foot-long by 40-foot-high panels featuring either team’s logo or neutral colours for non-football events.”

The yet unnamed building, for which owners are still working on a naming-rights deal, will host 20 NFL games each season - more than any football stadium in the country.

The stadium is one of several new major sports facilities opening in the New York metropolitan area. New homes also are being built for the New York Mets, the New York Yankees, the New Jersey Nets and the New Jersey Devils.

The Devils hockey team is leaving Continental Airlines Arena at the Meadowlands for the Prudential Centre, opening in downtown Newark in October.
