2MetLife Stadium – $1.73 billion
With a total construction cost of $1.73 billion, MetLife Stadium is the second costliest stadium in the world.
The sports stadium located at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S., is home of the New York Giants and New York Jets of the National Football League.
Owned by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, the stadium opened as New Meadowlands Stadium on April 10, 2010, featuring the Big City Classic lacrosse event.
In 2011, MetLife, an insurance company based in New York City, acquired the naming rights to the stadium.
Unlike other NFL venues, this stadium does not have a roof. Thus, indoor events such as the Final Four cannot be held here, which runs counter to the original aims for a new stadium in northern New Jersey.
The new stadium has seating for 82,566 people, including 10,005 club seats and approximately 218 luxury suites, making it the second-largest NFL stadium in terms of total seating.
