From Giants to Jets: Morphing MetLife Stadium
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2012
- Making one stadium home for both the New York Giants and the New York Jets requires an intricate changeover - from endzone logos, lighting, tee-shirts, banners, artwork - sometimes in just 12 hours. See the tricks used, including how the crew shuffles those 2,000-pound endzone trays. With 'Off Duty' Host Wendy Bounds.

“Is the neutral seat color inentional” No they change the 82,500 seats from blue to green seats.
LOL
Hi Jack
@@imrustyokay hello
They should though
LOL 😂
Imagine in another universe, the Giants were the NFC champions, and the Jets were the AFC champions with the same records and were facing off in the superbowl and that year it was hosted at MetLife Stadium.
That would signal the apocalypse so it wouldn't matter anyway
The "home team" would be the Giants if the SB number was odd and Jets if it was even as it rotates between champion each year.
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 jets would be the home team because in the year MetLife hosted the Super Bowl the Seahawks were away and broncos were home
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 if there was ever a year it was this one
The future is now
At least they don't have to worry about doing this in January.

I was looking for this comment... Thank you.
Jaggy McJagerson same
I remember when I was in prep school, one of my classmates was the son of the owners of the Jets and he took me to a game when they played at Shea Stadium, we played the Buffalo Bills and we won. Went into the locker room after the game and I met a lot of the players one of them being Joe Namath. It was really cool to meet him and guys like Richard Caster, Jerome Barkhum and a bunch of the other guys.
Slade Hanson what does that have to do with the comment?
shes never seen turf before
Ikr that's what I'm Saying 😂😂
LoL that’s what i thought 😂
Embarrassing
My home field is turf
People don't realize how long things like this take. Nice work, guys at the crew.
Yep, my gramps said they always had endzones flipped over at the push of a button; and I believed him lol
This was really cool to see. At times I've sometimes wondered how hard it is to transition from one team to another in the same stadium from week to week.

The flippable racks in the Pro shop are a really cool idea. I always thought they just had 2 different pro shops.
Hard to imagine when they play each other how it goes down. If it's a Giants home game the stadium is set up in Giants colours and signage yet the Jets play there every week and their fans will still be there and vice versa. Kinda funny really to show up at your own stadium and see it decked out in another teams colours.

Fuck this, they should name it GIANTS stadium and tell rex ryan that he can have his precious green lighting and logos back when he actually wins some games.
Are you fucking kidding me like Eli is doing any better the guy won Super Bowls you expect a lot more from him. If you wanna give shit to any team say shit to Tampa bay their teams actually fucking sucks.
Osky PvP I criticize an entire team and an organization and you criticize one man? For the past 45 years the Jets have been trying to recreate the media hype that Joe Namath had put around the team when he played and as a result it has cost them. That's why they keep on trying to sign phenomenal players that just don't fit into their offensive system. We're talking about the team that misused Plaxico Burress, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Michael Vick. Not to mention, they signed Tim Tebow for NO reason. The fact is, if you're a Jet's fan you shouldn't be defending such horseshit. Unless you don't wanna every see the Jets get to a Super Bowl. In that case blindly support this poorly run franchise. Heck at this rate I feel like it is more likely for Jacksonville to win 2 Superbowls in a row then it is for the Jet's to win the AFC Conference Final.
they shouldve let the giants keep giants stadium and let the jets have metlife. i mean, giants stadium was really never the jets stadium, the seats were blue and red and the giants had the name so they should've had both stadiums
All new york teams suck

As a neutral party I can say that as long as the Jets share anything with the Giants, they'll be considered as subleasing tenants. Same as the Clippers and Chargers
Im sorry this lady makes me cringe

Why do people keep asking what happens when the Giants play the Jets?
They played a few weeks ago, whoever the home team is, that's what it is. Watch the footage
That's exactly what I'm Saying! People are so stupid lol, Finally someone with a brain
They just split the stadium XD
It actually goes by rotation every 4 years during the regular season.
Who has home field advantage though?
That’s awesome how both teams play on the same field it’s like if they play against each they are both the home team
I remember years ago they were talking about the Jets having their own stadium but it never came to fruition. Of course, watching this video I'm kinda getting a preview of what we can expect in Los Angeles when that stadium opens as the home of the Rams and Chargers.

Hey Wendy, do you also see Australia from your end zone to the other end zone 100 yards away or way down under the changeable field turf surface at Met Life Stadium?
How the merchandise store works is so cool!!
That is so cool on how they do it!
The Giants have no reason to be angry about sharing the stadium with the Jets as its divided 50/50 between the two teams, I do wish that the Jets plans for West Side Stadium had worked out though as it would have been unbelievable and probably the coolest stadium in the league
"we're here in the biggest merchandise store" ...what? biggest in what? the world? the nfl? Cant just say biggest.
Jake Finnegan The stadium
Never stopped longing for a Jets stadium in the City. I would have been happy with a new stadium at Willets Point.
What happens when both teams win their divisions?
It's so funny that they flip the pictures and you go from Howard Cross of Giants fame to JayZ...

I went to MetLife stadium for the first and second time ever when I saw the Giants on Friday night and the Jets the next night and I also wanted to know how they did this change over so quickly. Thanks for the video. Btw the Jets game was much more fun.

@ddawgg23 Yes, lots of cities deserve two teams.
Yeah I am an eagles fan but the jets deserve it. The giants have history there so they should keep MetLife stadium
@Jeremy Medlock no the Giants deserve to stay in NYC. It's one of the oldest teams with the most history. It has always been in NYC. If anything were to happen, the Jets should change their name and head out to somewhere else

The amount of cringe, like russia and New York are nowhere near each other, and she was barely a few inches off the ground, LOL
@@bigboymatthew7471It was a timely joke based on Sarah Palin’s character on Saturday Night Live
Ok, I can understand some things needing to be manually changed out, like the field and the banners. But the light filters outside? Why not just use lights that have automatic color filters? And as far as things like the banners/ring of honor that wraps around the stadium, why not just use LED displays?
thought the same thing, would cut down on time and probably save some cost.
I think it was to save budget, LED lights were pretty darn expensive at the time the stadium was built. Now they could probably go replace them
@@SovietWinnieThePoo they were not really
Its great that these teams share a stadium. Building new stadiums for these teams all the time is such a waste of resources and money, and it's even worse for football, where a team only uses their home building 8 times a year.
Ive genuinely always wondered about this. Awesome to see it how its done. Now if the presenter wasn't so ditzy i would've called it an awesome video.
I am still amazed that this stadium was 1.6 Billion for what seems like so little. Its like barely better than the old Giants stadium. Reliant stadium by contrast looks really nice and has a retractable dome and was 330 Million. I think the NFL made a big mistake to break its own rules and allow a Superbowl at Metlife stadium. Most people want to see the best team, not hindered by bad weather. The next closest stadium cost I think was the 1.2 Billion stadium the Cowboys play in at least has 90-120 thousand seats, retractable dome, air-conditioning, underground box seats, and the huge display. I don't get all the bars on the outside of Metlife stadium either. Am I too critical? Did the stadium really cost 200 million and someone else got the rest of the money? Is there something I am missing? I guess I am still in price tag sticker shock.
New York City: Union Labor capital of the world. That mentality extends to most of northeast Jersey as well. A renovation project a couple miles from my house, for a small bridge for a one-lane road over a creek barely 3 feet wide, took over a YEAR to complete.
yeah i'm shocked at some of these venues (especially new york) that cost in the billions, when most stadiums cost 500 million or less.
i mean i just saw a video on here about a renovation of madison square garden that cost 1 billion...for just a renovation. based on the prices of most arenas, two could have been built from scratch and still have money left over.
the problem with these new york venues is that they suck all the sports soul out of the venue and put in something thats cold and stale and says "this is where you come if you're rich and want to go on a business outing" as opposed to "this is where you come to root for the team you grew up with."
yankee stadium (which cost 1.5 billion) and madison square garden supposedly don't even allow people to go down to the floor to watch warm ups like every other venue does, which is something that kids love doing.
and two teams sharing the stadium just furthers the whole "cookie cutter" stadium idea. each individual team's stadium should have some kind of distint feature, like a statue of a great player, or engravings of some kind. swapping banners out and changing a few lights isn't nearly the same thing. if i were a new york football fan, in the back of my mind i would always be thinking "this isn't quite my home team's building"
***** Each team *did* try to personalize the stadium, but they wanted to go in opposite directions with the concept. The reason why the stadium itself is super-fugly is because the Giants wanted a more rustic appearance (think the old Yankee Stadium), while the Jets wanted a frigging spaceship. As you can probably understand, those two concepts should never be mixed into a building facade. They try to correct some of it with lighting (Giants use more white/gray lighting through the slats to try and make it look more like a solid wall, while the Jets throw green light to make it look like a goddamn Borg Cube).

For a long time, Cleveland Municipal Stadium had both the baseball and football teams; from 1946 to when Jacobs Field (now Progressive Field) opened in 1994. It then housed the football games until it was closed up in 1995 and demolished in 1996-1997.
+Eddie Miller i think my dad went to the last browns game at that stadium and people were ripping seats out with bolt cutters after the game
Grabbing a piece of history. When the stadium came down, the rubble was used to build three artificial reefs on the bottom of Lake Erie.
Far off time lapse is one thing but this is a really great video about stadium transformation
Does that mean MetLife sees action every single week of the NFL season?
I think there has been a couple times where one of teams would be on a bye and the other on the road
Shane Pennington pretty much yeah
Not necessarily. Both teams can be on the road
There's been a few weeks where both teams were on the road and there was another event there like a concert or something like that....but for the most part of the season yeah one of the two is there almost every weekend
U
1:53 key bump!!
Wow and just now I'm figuring out they play in the same stadium
So if you but a giants season pass can you still go to the jets game (or vise versa)
Why aren't they tied off with harnesses to those scissorlifts, OSHA violation!!
+riobannz Exactly what I thought. The only way they can get away with that is if someone in the state labor department got paid off. Oh well it is New Jersey.
A bandwagons dream
When they play against eachother it's lit
Imagine a Super Bowl played by these 2, in MetLife Stadium
i always felt that the jets were always 2nd to the giants in home staduims. take the seats for example the old staduim had blue seating the new staduim has blue seating. for a multi team staduim the giants always seem presented more than the jets.
SteelCity1981 not to be a boss giants fan but I think the stadium looks better in blue
SteelCity1981 who cares about the jets
SteelCity1981 the old stadium was Giant Stadium, the Jets rented
SteelCity1981 As a Jets fan nothing I hate more than the Giants and ofcourse those mother fucking Patriots. But I can grudgingly admit there is a reason for the blue seats and so on and so forth. Giants are a winning franchise, for our team to get respect we have to show we can win, which we have never been able to. I hope one day our time comes as well. Till then, we can't complain about the favoritism for the Giants.
SteelCity1981 MetLife has grey seats, did you not watch the video? Both teams are represented identically at MetLife, as this video shows, has nothing to with each teams performance.
"15-20 times per year"
15 times
Wait so do they away jerseys when playing each other or home or like what does the schedule say @ home or away
I always wondered how they did this.
what happens if they both play againts each pther whos home and whos road
Whoever the designated home and away teams are.
the schedule is setup for every team. for example, if the Jets play home and the giant away, then the Jets would play home and the Giants away or vice versa.
Better yet who do they root for they are both mediocre at best
we still love our jets and giants
Can someone tell me what they do when the Giants play the Jets.
Aaron Valadez
It depends who is home if the Giants are home, then it's their colors if the Jets are home, it's their colors
As a jets fan I think it’s cool
Nice
This host is cringe.
Yeah but the concept for the stadium is interesting
i hate how new york has two teams just in case jets dont make it to the playoffs bandwagoners can jump to the giants and people wont even notice
Like lakers and clippers fans
Bigger states have more teams. Texas has the Texans and Cowvboys (AFC NFC), Florida has Dolphins, Buccaneers, and the Jaguars. California has the 49ers, Raiders, Chargers, (and since I'm replying 2 years late) the Rams.Ohio has the Browns and the Bengals. Pennsylvania has Eagles and Steelers. Maryland has the Redskins and Ravens. And New York also has the Bills.
+superbob24 he's talking about two teams in the same CITY.
I hate it to, White Sox fans bandwagon to the Cubs, Angels fans bandwagon to the Dodgers, Mets fans bandwagon to the Yankees. It sucks.
Ricardo Mejia both them don’t make it
What's a dopey comment. Giant fans don't root for the Jets and visa versa, just like I don't cheer on the White Sox just because they share Chicago with my Cubs.
I don't understand why The Giants and Jets couldn't have their own separate stadiums just like the Yankees and Mets.
There are only 17 home games between the two teams, while the Yankees and Mets have 81 homes games each.
I would love to see a SoFi from Rams to Chargers video.
Why wouldn't they just have 2 separate sets of lights outdoors? Would make more sense to just leave the filters where they are and simply turn off the 'Giants' lights and turn on the 'Jets' lights when needed. Less time and saves $ of someone having to go up and change the filter every time.
+Briandrum Also, LED displays are a thing. Easier to work with than physically switching some stuff.
+Matt Tonucci That's a good point! LED's can change color using the same exact bulbs. Obviously it has to be a union thing, and everyone knows that the unions are pretty damn tight in NY/NJ!
+Briandrum it might be that when the stadium was built they did that, with LED's just making their way into the market they might do that in the future. But then again, if it ain't broke why fix it.
Alex Marquette it could also be that the stadium was running low on its budget when being built, so they may have decided to cut some costs
has to be the most annoying reporter on the Internet
I remember the dirt stuff all in my hands when I was sacked bc my line needed some serious help. Always came home with some cool battle scars
In 2023, the Giants started using their own NY logo at the 50 yard line. It is painted on rather than being put on a removable tray due to the risk of injuries from tripping on seams for a portable logo.
The Jets should just get their own stadium.
They would if NYC were to host the olympics games

daboys1215 You just want them to love out because you are a giants bandwagoner. Jets and giants agreed to share the same stadium.
it's unbelieveable that this thing cost more then the wembley stadium or the cowboy stadium. what on earth did they spend those 1.6 billion on?
New York City costs a lot of money to build on.The Levi's Stadium, AT&T Stadium, Century Link, Reliant stadium, Lucas Oil, Uni of Phoenix stadium, Lambeau Field, and Louisiana super dome all look nicer than this garbage and for a fraction of the price.
metlife aint garbage my boi, u ever been here?
BROETHER, CAN I HAVE THE LOOPS Metlife is nicer than all the stadiums ge just listed haha
I always wonder how they can not have a roof that at least covers the fans.
2 questions.
1 why don't they have their own stadium?
2 why do new York teams play in New Jersey?
The Jets couldn’t get the tax payer support to build a new stadium in Manhattan. So they helped fund Met Life Stadium with the Giants. It’s in Jersey because land in Jersey is cheeper then land in New York. The stadium is also only 8 miles out of NYC, which makes it easier to travel to. There is no way I am driving through NYC just to go to a NFL game... unless it’s on the outskirts (which this stadium technically is) 😂
Where the Giants play their home games will always be "Giant Stadium" to me.
I can see Russia from my house? Bitch what
