Went to see the NY Giants. The stadium is really nice. Lots of fans tailgating before the game made the atmosphere alive and spirited. They have areas in the central area where you can get pictures taken, kick a field goal. Hall of fame on the second level is a cool experience. Not a bad seat in the stadium. I was all the way to the top and could see everything. The g-line drum band was a nice touch. The taco stand was good. Beers are in the 11 dollar range. You must experience the stadium excitement.
The stadium is so much better than the old one it replaced. The architecture and amenities are nice. I have sat in club seating (incredible experience which includes separate parking lot, entrance and escalator, padded seats, etc.), box seating and general seating, all a good experience.
My only complaint is the parking and food prices. We try and bring all our food and drink because prices are a rip off and parking you have no choice but to pay the exorbitant price.
I was able to visit coaches club after a game and included some pics.
Great venue and great fans. Coach's club is amazing if you can get tickets. Food selection is ridiculous and the on-field view is a once in a lifetime experience. Food is all included in the Lounge and I had pizza, lobster rolls, crab, shrimp, steak, popcorn, tater tots, burgers, hot chocolate, ms fields cookies, and more while I watched the game.
Easy to access. Quick lines. Box seats and parking are great. Hyped up fans & party goers all around. Traffic getting there is a given. Check out the view from the Toyota box. Would definitely return and see another game.
Love the new stadium. There are great views from every section! Highly recommend getting a parking pass because non-permit parking is $40 cash only, and it's quite a walk from the stadium entrance. Also, the suites are gorgeous and have amazing amenities. If you can get seating in a suite during the colder part of the NFL season, it's definitely worth the experience.
Great stadium! Everything was very well organized and the staff was helpful! Restrooms were tidy and there were enough possibilities to buy food! Atmosphere at the NFL game was awesome! Takes a long time to get there with public transportation but taking a lyft should be only ~$20.
Went to NYC to spend a weekend with my brother and see the Dolphins get beat by the lonely Jets. Surprisingly had no issues what so ever with any Jets fans, the staff in the stadium was very nice and enjoyed an outdoor tailgate by Tailgatejoe. Getting in and out of the stadium was easy, after the game the traffic was a mess, especially in the Lincoln tunnel. The Toyota Club section was very nice with cool AC and a wide variety of food.
Nice stadium that does not seem to have a bad seat. I wish the seats were a little wider, especially when I am wedged between large people. Consider an after-game tailgate because the exit traffic is horrible and the stress will wreck your game enjoyment. For night games, plan on getting home in the wee hours of the next morning no matter how you get there. The security seems a little lax with rowdy or inappropriate behavior. I was at a Patriots game and the State Police did not tolerate this. They wrote you a summons, bounced you out of the game, and banned you from future games. Ask my friend's girlfriend who drank too much and fell down at a game.
Metlife Stadium and Port Authority shuttle service. what a joke! First time in New York and it was our first time watching a football game at Metlife stadium. Tip for tourists, if you haven't got a private car or a way of getting there that's NOT public transport, give yourselves an 1 and a half BEFORE AND AFTER the game to get there for the beginning and to get home at a reasonable time. Getting to the stadium with the shuttle service wasn't so bad. Getting home however was an hours wait in line (even with leaving the stadium a little earlier) and then another half hour to get back to Times Square to our accommodation. The Port Authority really needs to sort this out because it's not good enough, especially when transport is not included your original ticket price. Aside from transportation issues, the football game was good fun however the security when it came to settling very rowdy and drunk patrons was very poor. Also when purchasing tickets there was NO information about not being able to bring in small backpacks or handbags and we were forced to put our bags in a locker before going in and were treated terribly by staff when we had to do so. All in all, I will NEVER recommend for fellow friends and family travelling to NYC to see a football game in there state.
Worth a visit.
The actual stadium is not much to look at, but the atmosphere can be fun and wild. Every seat seems to be a good seat to watch the action and get a beer and enjoy with your friends. It is also semi convenient to get here and if you get drunk during the game you can sober up with all the strangers on the train.
Just hope that your team wins cause otherwise it makes for a glum ride back to Manhattan.
Pro tip: Go Giants!
Great venue for any event from sports to concerts and anything in between. Food is ridiculously priced, as expected. Wear comfortable shoes - it's a lot of walking! I've never had a bad time hereexcept when the Giants lose!
I will call the Meadowlands Stadium by the corporate sponsored name after Snoopy slips me a few bucks. It took $1.6 billion to complete. I think someone ran off with half of that money. The NFL were unwise to put the Super Bowl there in 2014. Many out of town fans were very unhappy dealing with local traffic and/or weather. The people who run the Giants and Jets do not understand logistics. They watch games from the comfort of luxury boxes and ride around in the back of limousines. If they wanted a Super Bowl they should have built a domed stadium, but that type of thought requires common sense. The prices for concessions are astronomical even for a stadium. That is why I eat before games. I don't care about the amenities at the stadium. If I wanted prime rib I would go to a real restaurant. The parking is also a major ripoff. The stadium would charge people just for driving by if they could get away with it. The Colosseum in ancient Rome emptied in about fifteen minutes. The Meadowlands Stadium takes an hour to empty. They forgot to construct enough exits for $1.6 billion. The old stadium was more than adequate. But the Giants and Jets owners were greedy for more luxury boxes. I declined an opportunity to buy personal seat licenses. They are a horrible investment.
Awesome home of the NY teams, Jets and Giants. Ive been going to this stadium long before its was MetLife and I have really nothing bad to say about it. Great security with metal detectors and State Troopers on the scene with what I'm sure are automatic assault rifles as a reminder of the sign of the times we live in, love you guys, and the game fans for whatever teams are rowdy yes, but manageable. It"s sports of their liking and there's plenty of booze and quick eats to be had which raises spirits even higher. If you're a quiet, reserved person not able to get into the owners box, then maybe a Jets or Giants game won't be for you, but if you love your team and getting out there for them this is the place to be. Awesome overall experience.
It looks like a post apocalyptic tomb. The seats are too small. I am a jets fan and it does not in any way give you the feeling that you are in your own stadium. The food options are good enough. The beverage options are OK. The best part of being there for an NFL game is the tailgate partying.
Really loved the stadium. Prices are manageable, the usual drunk fans, but you can only expect so much. Loved watching the Giants and the Jets play. All in all, I really enjoyed watching football at Metlife Stadium. I recommend going there!!!
