Metlife looks like a stadium that was built in 1995.

The new normal Stadium build: $3 billion Stadium life: 20 years Who pays for it: taxpayers Net worth of the team playing there: $1.5 billion or greater. If the owners want a new stadium, they should pay for ALL of it, not the taxpayer.

Jets moving back to Queens will be epic

The Jets belong in Queens. MetLife is a boring, characterless concrete & plastic dump.

I hate teams sharing stadiums in general.

The Jets should have built a stadium in the city 30 years ago.

Judging by how NYC builds, this might be a reality in 2050.

The Jets belong in Queens or further out in Long Island. Most of their hard core fanbase live in that area. MetLife is a soulless dump.

I agree that every team should have their own stadium. The Chargers need to go back to San Diego and the Jets need to go back to Queens.

It seems like every week we have a stadium problem with a different team

As a Jets fan I can say as long as it’s privately or mostly privately funded we would all want this

Jets have never really had their own stadium since the Shea days and even then, their lease was terrible. They couldn’t use Shea until the end of baseball season for many years.

NEW Soldier Field is like 20 years old and already they say it is obsolete. Metlife is not old and they are saying obsolete. WTF.!!! How did Fenway and Wrigley last 115 years.??? And are actually a better attraction .!!!

No! First, they own half of Metlife and the Giants have no reason to buy them out. Second, I recall when the Personal Seat Licenses were being sold the Jets did not sell all of theirs so they probably have a mortgage still outstanding in New Jersey. Third, they draw almost a full-house on game day; the billion dollars for a new stadium might better be placed in Mr Johnson's bank account. Fourth, this is a relatively new building with mostly acceptable amenities. Finally, came you please post any articles that suggest this is in the process of happening?

Jesus dude. Hudson yard is in Manhattan. Not Queens.

Maaaaaan if the Jets move to Queens that would be awesome. As a die hard Jets fan going to New Jersey to watch them play is absurd.

Why do not people like the stadium in a random parking lot surrounded by a swamp in New Jersey not accessible to the actual City.... I wonder why...

If the Jets leave and the Giants renovate MetLife to make it look more Giants specific it could look a lot better.

Jets in queens makes sense with the airports

While Metlife looks pretty generic, it's actually a very nice stadium. Yes traffic sucks, but it's the NYC metro area, what do you expect? I doubt DG has even been, so his opinion is probably not a first hand account. It's hosting the biggest event in the world when the World Cup Final comes. It's a fine stadium.

The jets needs to get their own stadium and put it in New York so they can get into the New York market

The stadium cost $1.6 billion, not $1 billion. And that was in 2010 dollars. And it was the most expensive stadium ever built in the US at that point. And it is still pretty close to the top.

Can't forget that a Wrestlemania happened at MetLife...

If Queens doesn’t happen I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Jets in Brooklyn.

Maybe a hot take, but I feel like the Jets have a better identity in New York than the Giants do and them actually playing IN New York feels right.

Did I just hear you say that you’re tired of all these translucent roof stadiums? You’re Mr. translucent roof how can that be? Lol… love the channel, brother.

For the United Football League seasons, The New Jersey Generals take MetLife Stadium and the New York Hitmen play at West Side Stadium with the New York Jets

I would love to see the Jets come back to NYC. They're the NY Jets, not the NJ Jets.

You must be a Jets fan cause you are OBSESSED with this stadium proposal. You bring it up quite frequently.

as a new yorker, it'll never happen., Theres no space in Queens. Look how long it took NYCFC to get a stadium. The jets would move out of NY metro area before they build a new stadium anywhere in NYC

MetLife Stadium is an architectural bore. When I first saw the stadium when driving in from Queens, my first thought was that it looked like an air conditioning unit.

Thank for you doing this

Why would you describe Metlife Stadium as cheap? Where talking about inflationary pricing. Where talking about over regulation in construction cost. Where talking likely about fleecing and boondoggling in money by both New York & The NFL. Why would the Jets or the Giants deserve a new stadium with the way they're playing anyway?

There is chatter that the New York Racing Association wants to end racing at Aqueduct and move everything to Belmont Park. They could replace the track with a stadium there. It’s already got the Casino and hotel and there’s parking and transportation already there.

No taxpayer dollars 💵

They are building a 35,000 soccer stadium where some auto shops are behind Citi Field that politician tried to push it up to 65,000 and the city wouldn’t budge its old news.

I think it's time for the NY Jets to get their own Stadium in willets point queens, because I was never too crazy sharing a stadium with the Giants. It's been going on regularly since 1984.

Where exactly is the available land in Queens to build an NFL stadium? The approved NYCFC stadium is getting affordable housing built around it. If approved the Mets parking lots would be cluttered with a casino, garages, and a park. Land is scarce The Jets already heavily invested in their training facilities in NJ. MetLife Stadium is getting a natural grass field for the world cup. The stadium itself is plain but the location really is perfect near several highways + public transit. Fans would not be happy about buying another PSL after 20 years.

There is a huge difference between artificial turf and natural grass. I played football all through college and everyone i played on art. turf i could feel it in my knees by halftime and all of my lower joints would be sore until at least the next day. In college you're young so i could imagine how it would feel for late 20s - early 30s with all the miles those guys already have on their joints

Jets absolutely need to bring the Jets back to NY. Best move they could make. And Woody is right, that turf is hurting players

It’s the same damn 100 yards no matter what a stadium looks like ..Try investing money into quality players who win and people will show up ..Who the hell goes to a game to see a stadium ? And if these stadiums are all about owners egos then don’t ask the public to fork over one red cent to help build their dream unless they are giving the taxpayers free tickets to the stadiums they paid for .

**Triggered** As a Jets fan in Jersey and a huge proponent of state love and pride, I can't imagine the Jets moving back to Queens. They moved to Jersey a couple of years before a lot of us were conceived, so we're talking about 40 years!! If they want a new stadium, why not somewhere in Jersey like Jersey City? Somewhere near the waterfront where public transportation is a little bit more convenient for the people...or even in a place like Newark?

As a huge Jets fan this makes me so excited. I live about 15 minutes from where they want to build it!

I love Metlife and the Mall next door. But I'd love our own.

Spend the money on the turf at MetLife!

There is no shot that Woody Johnson moves the Jets to NYC. Woody lives in NJ and Jets HQ is in NJ. How many games do they play in a stadium anyway each year? If the Jets actually had winning seasons nobody would care about the stadium.

The actual cost of the MetLife stadium at the time of it opened was $1.6 billion. This made the stadium the most expensive stadium ever built at that time. It would be quickly replaced by more expensive stadiums. However, to make it sound like they built it cheaply false and just shows your lack of knowledge.

I’m ecstatic as a jets fan on Long Island but I don’t buy it. I could be wrong but what’s the incentive for the jets to spend more when fans will show up regardless of the stadium? Second, there’s at least 10 stadiums in the area. Will the residents be fine with stadiums popping up left and right? Lastly, probably more importantly, where is this stadium going? The Citi field area already feels tight, add an MLS stadium, and an NFL one, and it just doesn’t seem possible. Again, not an expert, but that’s how it feels. Unless the jets team up with NYCFC and the MLS approves a joint stadium, which I know the MLS prefers soccer specific. Or they can sell them on making NYC the largest, premier soccer stadium for the national team as well. I’m rambling, although how unlikely, it’s good news as a jets fan. Come back home.

They've already started building the infrastructure for the new MLS stadium. They already have plans to erect a mix use neighborhood around the new stadium. Cohen wants to build a new casino in the Citi Field parking lot. There's a lot of red tape with the city before that can even get approved. It may or may not happen. So a new Jets stadium in Flushing Meadow is VERY unlikely atm. As a lifelong Queens resident, I don't want either.

Where would the Jets stadium go in Flushing/Corona Park? Steve Cohen already has plans to build a hotel + casino next to Citi Field. Plus, NYCFC already started building their stadium. Would Cohen abandon his plans for a Jets stadium? By the way, it seems a little excessive to have a NFL Stadium (80k cap), MLB Stadium (45k cap), MLS stadium (25k cap), and US Open/Tennis (24k cap) all in the same area. I know we’re deviating further from multi purpose stadiums and more towards experiences but this appears wild.

Once you see the word “lawmaker” you know it is bad.

I miss old Giants Stadium. When it opened, it was rated one of the top stadiums in the country. It wasn't bad to watch a game from there. Even saw the Cosmos. It had Giants colors, blue and red, which is why the Jets never felt at home there. This brought the neutral colors at Metlife. If the Jets pull out, maybe they can give MetLife a more Giants feel as Giants Stadium had.

Remember the Jets are the redhead stepchild

Don’t bother building a new stadium if it doesn’t have a retractable roof!

*MetLife is an amazing looking stadium. I like the open airness of the stadium. Intimidating stadium. No roof is better than having a roof. It's a true stadium, unlike all these new roofed indoor arena stadiums, which feels like playing in a hall.*

If a soccer station is being built by Citi Field, there will be no room for a football stadium in Flushing unless they decide to destroy Flushing Meadow Park.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will bring back the New Jersey Generals and New York Hitman to the United Football League

This stadium cost $1 billion to build. Looks like it was built in the 80s

You do realize that the taxpayers are STILL paying for the old Giants stadium which no longer exists.

Never understood how two teams paying for a stadium but came up with that dump called MetLife

Instead of Queens why don’t the Jets build in Long Island. Tear down Nassau Coliseum like they should have when the Islanders left. Build a new stadium there.

Jets playing in Queens or NYC would be the worst idea ever. Congestion pricing, Speeding Cameras, Bike Lanes, Noise Cameras, construction and much more would make it a miserable experience.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about. Met Life was the most expensive stadium in the World at the time it opened, yet somehow it is now “cheap?”

Love this news ! The Jets deserve their own stadium ! Make it happen!

Put it in the Bronx. With NYCFC about to have their own place in Queens I think spreading the sports arenas throughout the city vs concentrating them in one borough makes more sense

The 🛫s (Jets) Build A Stadium In *Proper* 🆕 York _&_ They Can Be 🆕 York’s Team !¡! Retractable Roof Grass Field _&_ *ALL* !!!

Jets need there own stadium in new york like buffalo bills ..😮

I wish the Hudson Yards stadium was built instead of this. MetLife isn’t bad but I wish there was some mixed use development and better transit surrounding it

moving back to queens would be dope, would be like one of those cool soccer stadiums in the middle of a neighborhood, everyone taking public transit to the games

They've been talking about doing this for 30 years, it unfortunately,, will never happen. NYC real estate is too much to make it feasible.

I’ve literally been thinking about this for like the past 2 months

MetLife is an absolute joke and has not been embraced by Jets fans from day one. However, am skeptical that the Jets will ever end up moving back to Queens. For one thing, Woody Johnson lives in New Jersey, and I can't see him moving out of his own home state. Secondly, where is this new stadium going to be? The new soccer stadium is already under construction as the land where the junkyards and auto repair shops has already been cleared out. The new plans by Cohen have not yet been approved and even if they were, there's no room for a massive 70,000 or 80,000 seat stadium.

given how strong the relationship between tailgating and live football is.. don't think this will go over as well with season ticket holders if this is not a typical drive up and park type stadium...taking mass transit to a football game is a totally different experience

One important factor not mentioned in this video. The Jets have a state of art training facility at Florham Park NJ that they in vested $75M in. I don’t believe the Jets would leave that facility. IMO, they will get modifications they want at MetLife and stay.

Good riddance it’s GIANT STADIUM. Still liked the old stadium better

If they want to build a new stadium then build it on the old Nassau Coliseum site, convenient to parkways and centrally located for Queens and Long Island residents.

Arent they planning all kinds of new hotels and building around Metlife stadium for soccer World Cup in a few years

Yet somehow MetLife managed to get the World Cup Final

Jets belong in Queens !! Time to divorce the Giants....

Former Mayor Bloomberg first proposed it, but Jim Dolan put a stop to it.

I hope most important for identity

They should have never built the stadium that high

😂😂😂 never gonna happen ... taxpayers wont vote for it. Jets definitely wont pay for it They gonna reup the contract and continue to share.

A friend of mine been telling me this for years that the Jets belong in Queens because they used to play in Queens

MetLife >> Meet Death Stadium

Following the 2024 NFL season, the Jets will opt out of their current lease with MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, return to Queens, and use Citi Field in Flushing as their temporary home field as co-tenants to the Mets of MLB until the new $1.25 billion 75,000-seat open-air multi-purpose stadium in Willets Point for both the Jets and New York City FC of MLS is built in early 2027.

If the owner wants to build a new stadium and pay 100% for it. Perfect! If not, stay in the stadium that was built for you. STOP this insanity of the taxpayers paying for a new stadium every 10 to 15 year.

Jets belong in the Whitestone area in Queens !!!

You build a stadium only be used 8 times a year. Maybe one NHL outdoor game and few concerts that won’t sell out totally. Can you fill it with WWE event?

Not happening. That land has been granted to the NYCFC development.

as long as the johnsons own the team i think they are staying put in NJ their practice facility is not too far in Florham Park

How was the Billie Jean Tennis Complex expanded and built? Was it on public land (i.e. Flushing Meadows Park)? Those of us young enough remember when Shea Stadium was built the same time as the 1964 NY Worlds Fair. Jets want to return to its home roots....New Jets stadium/Flushing Meadows Stadium!

The Jets will never build their own stadium. It simply is too expensive to build in New York and the owners AND taxpayers will not foot the bill. I can see the Jets and Giants splitting the cost of a new stadium (whether it's a rebuild at Metlife or a new location). No way Jets build their own.

The New York Jets need to go back to Queens.

I do hope this happens. Whether the Jets move to queens or maybe Brooklyn.

Worst stadium in the NFL RIGHT now. Amazing that TWO TEAMS could put together something so awful for 1 billion.

Yea, it’s so horrible that the 2026 World Cup Final will be at Met Life.

The Jets should have built a stadium sharing a press box with CitiField.

They could demolish Nassau coliseum and build a stadium over it, and build a parking garage to make up for the lost parking spaces

This has been my dream as a JETS fan since I was a kid! I remember when I lived in NYC in the early 2000s & there was talk about them getting a stadium on the upper west side of Manhattan. Taking the subway to a new JETS stadium would been awesome. But that never happened.
