The brief
- 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.
