Opened 2010 in New Jersey, home to NFL's Giants and Jets. Built as modern enclosed facility replacing aging regional stadiums.
Sprawling 82,500-seat bowl with retractable roof sections and wide sightlines. Feels vast, corporate, climate-controlled. Designed for comfort over character.
Hosted Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 between Seahawks and Broncos. Also Super Bowl LI in 2021, cementing it as major event venue.
Giants and Jets fans divide the crowd nightly, creating split allegiance. Atmosphere depends heavily on opponent and playoff stakes rather than tradition.
