Giants Stadium
New Jersey venue
Giants Stadium was a sports venue in East Rutherford, New Jersey, that served as home to the New York Giants and New York Jets football teams from 1976 to 2010.
Despite hosting New York's NFL teams, the stadium sat across the Hudson River in New Jersey—a geographic quirk that became a running joke.
It was demolished after MetLife Stadium opened on the same site.
