Teams: the New York Jets and the New York Giants; Construction cost: $ 1.6 billion.

The architects' concept of dualization in stadium construction is top-notch, and it is located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The light colors of the stadium, for example, change at intervals to reflect the team playing in the stadium due to the stadium's dual ownership.
Metlife Stadium, with its 82 seats, is also home to two training facilities for both teams. Within the establishment, there are also facilities for hosting other events.
