"MetLife Stadium opened in 2010 to replace Giants Stadium, serving as the shared home for both New York Giants and New York Jets of the NFL, as one of two NFL stadiums shared by two teams of the league. Constructed at an approximate cost of $1.6 billion, it became the most expensive stadium in the United States at the time of its completion and is the biggest venue in the NFL."
"The Stadium has become a key venue both domestically and internationally, hosting Super Bowl XLVIII and multiple matches at the 2025 Club World Cup, including the final. In preparation for hosting the 2026 World Cup, the MetLife has undergone a two-phase renovation of its lower bowl, involving replacing permanent seating with a modular system to enlarge the playing field to meet necessary FIFA requirements."
