West Side Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium project in West Side, Manhattan, United States.

The stadium design included a retractable roof and planned capacity of 75,000 seats for regular events and 85,000 during Olympic competitions.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority negotiated with the New York Jets for the land rights until the project cancellation by state authorities in 2005.

The stadium plan generated discussions about urban development priorities and the use of public funds for private sports facilities in New York City.

The stadium would have operated throughout the year, providing convention space during off-seasons and sports events during regular seasons.

After the project cancellation, the New York Jets redirected their efforts to construct MetLife Stadium in New Jersey with the New York Giants.
