MetLife Stadium
is a stadium in the New York
Metropolitan Area, part of the
Meadowlands Sports Complex, in East
Rutherford, New Jersey. It is the
home of the New York Giants and New
York Jets of the National Football
League and is adjacent to the site
of the former Giants Stadium, which
was home to the Giants from 1976
until December 2009 and the Jets
from 1984 until January 2010. Like
its predecessor, the new stadium is
the only NFL stadium shared by two
teams. However, unlike Giants
Stadium, in which the Jets were
tenants of the NJSEA, the new
stadium is a 50/50 partnership
between both teams. The first
concert at the New Meadowlands was
New Jersey natives Bon Jovi, who
performed four shows at the venue on
their The Circle Tour. The second
concert at the stadium was Hot 97's
Summer Jam. Eagles performed here on
June 10 as part of their summer
tour. U2 performed at the stadium on
July 20, on their U2 360° Tour.
The show was originally to be held
on July 19, 2010, but had to be
postponed following Bono's emergency
back surgery. The show was the third
to visit the Meadowlands on the U2
360° Tour, the first two being at
Giants Stadium on September 23 and
24, 2009.
