To complete my journey to all 31 active NFL home stadiums, I have to be sure to visit the newly constructed venues when they open. With this in mind, I’ve scheduled two appearances to the New Meadowlands Stadium located in Eat Rutherford, New Jersey, so I can attend both a New York Jets and a New York Giants game there. Before the build of this behemoth monstrosity, both the Jets and Giants shared Giants Stadium, but it was hardly a home to Jets fans. With another team’s name on the building, it felt more like a rental unit that their team used from time to time.
In an effort to combat this, designers of New Meadowlands Stadium took great care to develop a facility that could be transformed in appearance with the color scheme and logos of the home team. This is achieved through a variety of innovative solutions including flat screen video boards and towers, an impressive exterior stadium lighting scheme that can appear green in color for Jets home games and blue when the Giants take the field, and finally though louvered signage that can take on the Jets or Giants logos. The conversion truly creates an atmosphere that allows both Jets and Giants fans to lay claim to the facility on game day.
I was in town for Monday Night Football and the atmosphere inside New Meadowlands Stadium was electric. Brett Favre was back in town on the heels of his recent controversy and Randy Moss made his first appearance in a Vikings uniform since leaving Minneapolis. A defensive struggle at first, the Jets took a tenuous 9-0 lead into the half. In the second half, Brett Favre and the Vikings stormed back with solid touchdown drives to challenge the Jets lead, but in the end after a costly Pick-6 by Favre, the New York Jets weathered the storm to post an impressive win over the Vikings. Excellent game, great tailgating, I look forward to my return trip.

We took a bus from NYC to the Meadowlands Stadium with ease. Although the stadium was smaller then we thought it is a beautiful stadium. I think the players coming onto the field was my favorite part for it was such a big production. Nice time had by all!

What A Good Freezing Night!! JETS jets jets jets!!!!!!!!
Ticket City has been my #1 resource for my husbands Christmas Gift for the last 3 Yrs. JETS Tickets!!!! They are committed and honest to their customers. The Jets ended the franchise’s 26 years at the stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey!! The New York Jets closed Giants Stadium with a shower of confetti and a 37-0 shutout of the Cincinnati Bengals... With Great Seats for Great Prices we were able to afford to be at such an Event...Thanks Ticket City!!!! It was an Eperience of A LifeTime!!!

1st time buyer
Date:December 2, 2011
I have purchashed tickets for various sporting events and concerts from various places/sites and was kind of uneasy ordering from a different site. But I can honestly say I have had the BEST experience with TICKETCITY. I purchased tickets approx. 1 hour ago for the Jets at Redskins game for this Sunday (today is Friday) and I had an email confirmation immediately confirming that my order was being processed and I would be notified again once the order had been confirmed. I received my order/cc charged confirmation 6 minutes later and 20 minutes after that I received another email stating my tickets had been shipped w/ a tracking number. I have never had such prompt service. This made the "uneasy" feeling of such a large purchase from a site I had never used before resolve and leave me excited for the game on Sunday. Thank you TICKETCITY for such great service, as well as amazing tickets at an amazing price! I will recommend this site and will use it again in the future. GO JETS!!!

I have been waiting a long time to see my guys in the final game of the year. The Superbowl is a strong possibility for the Jets this year. Watching Sanchez lead the team so well last season in such a short period of time was like a sign from the heavens of good things to come. Now that Revis is on board there is no stopping the New York Jets from finally having a victory they deserve. I will be watching this team and I think you should too.

Great Time!!

New Meadowlands is a beautiful stadium with very nice amenities. I went to the last game of the season against the Bills and the atmosphere and excitement level in the crowd was great as we sent off Gang Green to Indy and the beginning of their playoff run!

First timer - great experience!
Date:November 16, 2011
This was my first time attending a football game and even though the team I was rooting for lost, it was still an amazing experience. I had a great view of the entire field for a pretty good price, especially for a game as big as the Jets vs. Patriots. I purchased my tickets somewhat at the last minute (a week before the game) and by Monday morning I had a phone call confirmation and received the tickets in 2 days. I will definitely be purchasing from TicketCity again!

What a great experience I had with Ticket City. They answered all of my questions when I called and promptly sent me my tickets. Also, the game was the day after Hurricane Irene and they called to update us twice! First that the time was changed and then that it was moved from Friday to Monday!

Good deals

As the notes suggested, I was at the 50 yard line. However, I wish it would tell me what row, and actual seat number I was at. Overall satisfied.
