35 Must-See Stops on the Most Legendary Football Stadium Road Trip

2. MetLife Stadium – The Big Apple’s Gridiron (East Rutherford, New Jersey)

A short drive south takes us to MetLife Stadium, the home of both New York’s NFL teams. While the Giants and Jets may not always be dominant forces, the atmosphere at this massive venue is unparalleled when the teams are competitive. With a seating capacity of over 82,000, it's one of the biggest stadiums in the league and has hosted major events like Super Bowl XLVIII. While game days are packed with die-hard fans, the real experience comes from the rivalry games—whether it’s the Giants vs. Cowboys, the Jets vs. Patriots, or even the Giants vs. Jets in a battle for New York supremacy. It’s also a prime tailgating location, where fans gather hours before kickoff to fire up grills and debate which team truly owns New York football. Home of: New York Giants & New York Jets (NFL)
