Meadowlands Sports Complex, Sports complex in East Rutherford, United States
Meadowlands Sports Complex is a sports complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, that brings together several facilities on a large site near the New York metropolitan area. The main stadium accommodates more than 82 000 spectators in an open-air setting, with modern seating tiers and concession areas spread throughout the structure.
The facility started in the 1970s as a horse racing track and grew with the construction of a first stadium in 1976, later replaced by a new structure. The current main stadium opened in 2010 and has since housed two professional teams under one roof.
The stadium takes its name from an insurance company that purchased naming rights, a practice common among modern sports venues across the United States. Visitors encounter different team colors in the concourses and on scoreboards depending on game day, as two franchises call this place home.
Getting there works well by train, with a direct rail link running from New York City and surrounding areas straight to the complex. On event days arriving early helps avoid crowds and wait times at entry gates.
The outer shell changes color depending on the occasion and glows in different shades across the surrounding area at night. Inside, wall designs and lighting shift according to the home team, so the stadium shows a different face on each game day.
