Talk:Giants Stadium

So are they building a new one ?

I can't seem to find the info in the article. Am i missing it ? Anyway..too bad to tear down such an epic stadium...so many awesome football(soccer) players that have been there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Choice777 (talk • contribs) 18:47, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Then and Now

I don't think that the Then and Now section is necessary. The history of the stadium cannot be simply split into two distinct sections. What about the pre-grass AstroTurf replacement with the Giants and (NY-free) Jets logos on the 50 Yard lines? Also, there needs to be specific dates for the "then" and "now" periods. I am giving it a week. If there aren't any comments or major cleanup to the section, I'm deleting it. Milchama 15:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

brendan byrne arena

"which also hosts the Meadowlands Racetrack and the Izod Center (known as the Continental Airlines Arena until October 2007)"

Sentence construction makes it sound like it was Continental Airlines Arena from inception to October 2007.

Since article's subject is "Giants Stadium," suggest recasting sentence as "which also hosts the Meadowlands Racetrack and the Izod Center (see its article for predecessor names)."

Otherwise, Brendan Byrne Arena merits mention as the arena's inception name (or shortly post-inception name). I believe it carried that name much longer than Continental Airlines Arena. To many people of a "certain age" (like moi) it will always be Brendan Byrne Arena...not for admiration for Mr. Byrne, but irritation over current nom du jour practice of naming facilities. 207.237.91.177 (talk) 19:45, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Press box Renovation

After the 1996 Football season, Giants Stadium underwent its first expansion since it was opened in 1976. The addition would add a press box in front of the stadium which would hold club seats and suites. This was added on to keep up with the other stadiums at the time. The renovation cost $37.2 million dollars. The cost of the stadium itself when it was built was $78 million dollars. The press box held 32 suites and 794 club seats. The press box will face route 3 outside the stadium and will hover above sections 335 and 327. It would be complete for the 1997 football stadium.

Cancer rates

Perhaps some mention should be made of the high rate of Giants' developing cancer? http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1987-08-24/sports/8703090788_1_karl-nelson-chemotherapy-and-radiation-cancer

Having said that there are also claims that the stadium is not toxic: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/55426/GIANTS-STADIUM-DIDNT-CAUSE-CANCERS.html

That first citation is from 25 years ago. And where is the citation demonstrating that the cancer rate for the Giants is statistically significant? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:02, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Tenants

The New Orleans Saints should not be listed as a tenant simply because they had to have one of their games moved there after Hurricane Katrina. A tenant is a team or organization that has an established presence at a facility and often has some kind of say in the stadium's day-to-day operations and even physical changes to the building. The Saints simply had their game against the Giants moved from New Orleans to Giants Stadium, were designated the "home team", and had "Saints" painted in one end zone. They did not move their permanent home to Giants Stadium nor did their presence last any longer than a typical road game, similar to the many college teams that have played at Giants Stadium as the "home team". The same is true for Ford Field and the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills or the San Diego Chargers and Sun Devil Stadium. While the Saints game should most certainly be mentioned in the article, putting them in the tenant list is not appropriate. --JonRidinger (talk) 13:17, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
