| Cowboys Stadium |
VS.
 |
| New Meadowlands Stadium |
Wouldn't it be nice if we had an unbiased discussion of the relative merits of the two stadiums?
The Numbers-- No slant, no bias, just facts:
Maximum Recorded Football Attendance
 |
| They opened the dome later. |
Giants: 77, 245 (far short of the 82,566 seats available)
Advantage: Cowboys
Number of Roommates in Stadium
 |
| Roommates are terrible |
Giants: 1. It's cool though, they've got a system: if the Jets see a rubber band on the doorknob, they know to crash someplace else.
Advantage: Cowboys
Total Stadium Cost
 |
| Straight debt to Arlington, homey |
Giants: $1.6 Billion How could an inferior team afford such a steep price? The Giants and their roommate split the rent.
Advantage: Cowboys
Intangibles-- History, Aesthetics, and Authenticity
 |
| Get it? |
 |
| NEW YORK CITY!?!?!? |
Giants: No. In the over 47,000 square miles the Giants had to choose from in New York State, no location was up to par. Instead, they built their stadium on a brownfield site (read: toxic waste dump) in the Great State of New Jersey.
Advantage: Cowboys
Does Your Stadium Look Like a Radiator:
 |
| You decide: New Meadowland Stadium or Peterbilt radiator ? |
Giants: Yes. Well, it looks like a radiator from every conceivable ground angle, but it looks pretty normal from space!
Advantage: Cowboys
Does Your Stadium Have a Fine Art Collection:
 |
| Large scale modern art is integrated throughout Cowboys Stadium |
Giants: No. I mean, are you joking? Have you ever met a Jets fan? If more than three of them are ever in the same place, they start a chant ("Show us your tits!"). They're sub-human, artless mongoloids.
Advantage: Cowboys
The Game Day Experience-- How is life as a fan?
 |
| The calm before the storm |
 |
| Not just time consuming, expensive too! |
Giants: Yes. Not only will you battle New York's legendary traffic all the way there, but once you arrive and pay to park, you still have to take a bus to the stadium. They didn't build crosswalks or bridges. I'm serious.
Advantage: Cowboys
Do You Get To See The Players Up-Close?
 |
| This picture gives me goosebumps |
Giants: No. The closest you can get to players is a front row seat. That experience is cost-prohibitive to all but the richest fans.
Advantage: Cowboys
Does The Stadium Provide A Better Experience Than Home?
 |
| I hugged Larry Allen at this game |
Giants: No. The Giants didn't even sell out the opening game of the stadium. Fans voted with their money, and they voted to stay at home.
Advantage: Cowboys
Conclusion-- Let's tally up the score

I guess the Cowboys' strategy of building of beautiful, functional, and accessible stadium on a major highway just worked out a little better than the Giants' strategy of building an ugly, generic, and inaccessible stadium on a toxic waste dump in New Jersey.
I mean, this one really could have gone either way.
This is the most ridicilous biased opinions I've ever seen in my entire life.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all:
That nonesense you say about it being tough to drive to Meadowlands stadium because of New York Traffic. Are you even aware that there are 2 new subway lines between New York and New Jersey along with more buses going directly to the front of the stadium ? Fewer cars on the road this way.
You didn't even mention all the facts based on loacation. Meadowlands Stadium is just 4 miles away from Manhattan which means you get a great view of the New York Skyline from the stadium site. A great New York atmosphere from that part of New Jersey. Cowboys stadium location is poor. It's so deep in Arlington you can't even get a real view of Dallas.
Team Roommates are terrible ?
With 2 teams sharing one stadium it makes it easy for Meadowlands Stadium to be the only stadium in the league to be used every week which puts it in a situation where The new Meadowlands will be fully paid for in future long before Cowboys stadium, or any other new stadium does. That's the real advantage of partnership between 2 teams sharing one building.
Meadowlands Stadium doesn't sell out ?
With the economy being what it is - Ticket prices and PSL's are tough to pay for these days. When is the last time Cowboys stadium sold out completly ?
Cowboys stadium is great, But it's built like a fortress and that makes it tough for most people to use their cell phones inside the building - Especially when the Roof is closed. Meadowlands Stadium does not have that problem.
You claim that Meadowlands stadiums looks like a radiator ? Do you even realize that the building is designed to light up with glittering crystal blue aluminum lights during Giants games and glittering emerald green during Jets games ? Even the technology of Cowboys stadium is not that advanced.
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. These pictures are worth a thousand witnesses.
Check out the link Below and click on every pic. Then tell me how Cowboys stadium compares to that.

This guy acts like Dallas fans are sooo cultured with their art in the stadium. First off its football and if you want to see art you just go to the best art museum in the world called the New York Metropolitan Museum of fine art. Second you red neck hillbillies think a shotgun and some Budweiser is art.
ReplyDeleteYou don't even need to go through Manhattan to get the game (unless your retarded and from Texas like the moron who wrote this). And like the guy before me said you can take the train. At least not everyone is clueless like the redneck who wrote this.
Also the New Meadowlands Stadiums is CLOSER to New York than Cowboys stadium is to Dallas.....IDIOTTT hahaha
While it might not be as big and have a roof it still is a better stadium in the NFL.
To sum it all up...this is the MOST biased thing I have ever read and the author deserves to have a spiked club shoved up his asshole...
P.S. I would love to hear some feedback from inbred rednecks so I can own them in this debate hahaha.
