i always have found it strange that the jets use giant stadium, i know they call it the meadowlands when they play. you figure they would like to reap the benefits of their own stadiums. I can see that that the cost would prohibit that when its close to a billion dollars

I cant wait to see this beast, it should be pretty awesome for that much cash. I think they should keep it an open-air stadium, I like natural grass better than some type of artificial turf, and I love football in the snow. Dont be wimps NY, keep it open!
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

Meh, people seem to be forgetting that the stadium formerly known as Skydome cost us (i.e. Ontario taxpayers) $600 million (USD) way back in '89...17 years later, that pretty much equates to a cool billion...

Even certain sightlines for baseball blow huge. Certain areas of the 100 level in the outfield are atrocious.

i know for football that the endzones are really bad, you cant see half of the endzone. Nothing like trying to watch a touchdown pass and having to wait for the reaction of the sideline crowd to know what happens.
