Why are people reversing the order in which the New York Giants and the New York Jets appear in the article? Does it really matter who comes first? In my opinion, whichever franchise was established first, that's who gets listed first. Sound reasonable? Kjscotte34 ( talk) 14:00, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm not going to change it back, since i don't want to be part of an edit war. Hopefully some sort of agreement will take place here and it'll be a dead issue. We have Giants fans who are putting their team first, and then Jets fans doing it, whether it be because they were the "other" team in Giants Stadium or because they just want it first. I don't know. If it comes down to a vote, I'll give my reasons for which way it should go then. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 14:19, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
As silly as the name is, according to press releases AND the official team website, the stadium name is "New Meadowlands Stadium," not "Meadowlands Stadium." The article title should probably be changed. From what I understand, this will continue to be the title this season, until naming rights are secured. I propose that the main title should be called "New Meadowlands Stadium" with "Meadowlands Stadium" obviously re-directing to the article. Thoughts on the name aside, it is the official name. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 14:19, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm going to guess that this will be the name of the Stadium until naming rights are secured. Whom do we have to contact to change the name of this? I simply don't know how to do it. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 20:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 01:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Meadowlands Stadium → New Meadowlands Stadium — See reasons listed above. Official stadium name is "New Meadowlands Stadium." This will be the name until naming rights are secured. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 11:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Is there a reason that the Mexico vs Equador football (soccer) friendly is not mentioned? It was on 7 May 2010, and is included in one of the sources. Crazydude22 ( talk) 09:17, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
The stadia are both municipal owned according to the narrative, but since the old was built with public and the latter with private funds I infer that public support like financing help may mean it wasn't a typical private commercial project. The two teams are separate profit-making companies so are there any sources to indicate they entered into a partnership agreement for the stadium or do they have a joint lease or do they have separate leases each with the same terms or do they each lease separate oofices and lockers but have a joint lease as cotenants for the playing surface. Short of that, the language of 50/50 is both misleading and overbroad. 10:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Is that random line about the executive chef in the opening section appropriate? It just seems awkward to me. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 19:13, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I would assume that there was no chance that AshleyMadison.com was going to be able to buy the naming rights to the stadium and this was just a publicity stunt - so why should they be mentioned here? Mikevegas40 ( talk) 01:41, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Isn't Dallas Cowboys stadium the largest at 110,000? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Cowboys_Stadium
Someone earlier referred to this. Cowboys only has 110,000 in expandable seating, not in fixed seating.
Wembley? That’s not an NFL stadium—and not in the U.S.

I am confused. The current version of Yankee Stadium [1] says that
but the current version of New Meadowlands Stadium [2] says that
Am I the only one who finds these to be contradictory? I have no idea what is correct, but I hope someone will clarify and, if necessary, get the facts straight in the articles. HuskyHuskie ( talk) 05:40, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
I found a NY Times source here that says NMS cost $1.6 billion: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/09/sports/football/09stadium.html I'm looking for one for the new Yankee Stadium. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 01:38, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Here's a USA Today article citing the construction cost of Yankee Stadium at $1.5 Billion: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2009-04-02-baseball-palaces_N.htm In that article, it says that the combined costs of Citi Field and Yankee Stadium were $2.3 billion. Hope that helps. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 01:41, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Just a quick question here for my fellow article watchers: Is there any specific reason that all these sports and entertainment venues are listed in the "See Also" section, but we did not include MSG, the Izod Center, etc? If anything, the Izod Center is right across the street, and is part of the complex, so in my own humble opinion, I'd think that it belongs. Thoughts? Kjscotte34 ( talk) 15:20, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Okay, can someone please explain to me why the Miracle at the New Meadowlands is a notable moment but the Jets home opener with the 9/11 ceremony is not? The former is not sourced. I can understand the preseason game not being notable, but the 9/11 ceremony? Come on guys. That's more notable than the power failure, and that remained. If I don't see some good, hard evidence as to why the 9/11 Jets game isn't considered notable, I'm putting it back up, with sources of course. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 15:02, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Okay, now that it's sourced, I do believe it has a place in this article. But do we need to talk about it three different times? It's in the opening paragraph, it's got its own section, and it's listed under "Other Events". Surely, WP:Undue Weight has to apply here. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 14:03, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Is this section really necessary? As it is, the section will continue to grow indefinitely. It's also already attracting spammy announcements of non-notable events. — Al E.( talk) 13:28, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
The history of the Meadowlands is false. Obvious written by a New Yorker. There is no mention of the Governor that it was named after a 4 term Democrat from NJ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.209.198.158 ( talk) 16:22, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Knowing very little about the subject matter, I am unwilling to correct this -- however, it did irk me enough to point it out:
"View of New Meadowlands Stadium (under construction) and Giants Stadium (on right) in July 2009 moments prior to collision"
Are they battleships? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.149.30 ( talk) 12:27, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

The red bulls never played at the stadium but the old Giants Stadium was home to the New York Red Bulls. 2603:7000:B901:8500:1C16:C236:D720:C571 ( talk) 23:30, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

If you look up "world cup 2026 final location" on Google, it says MetLife Stadium in large text. I couldn't find a concrete source for this, so I wanted to ask if we should mention it in the article Polishedrelish ( talk) 05:35, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
