I still dont understand why they cant each have their own stadium? They play in one of the biggest cities in the world. The Mets and Yankees dont share....

Because real-estate is at a premium in Manhattan. Have you ever looked into rental prices in NYC? Beside the fact that there isn't room for two enormous football stadiums, there's really no need. Public transportation directly to the stadium? Perfect!

And why spend $2.4 billion when you only need to spend $1.2 billion?

Oh and last time I checked, each NFL team only plays 10 games a year at home. In baseball, each team plays 81 games at home.

That's a little bit different.

Looks pretty standard. At least they were smart enough not to make it one of these open ended stadium like seems to be the trend anymore. Why you would sacrifice decibels for a pretty view is beyond me.

Good points. I guess thats why Stadiums end up in dumpy parts of towns alot of times. Real estate is cheaper there.
