The nation’s premier sporting event is coming to its greatest metropolitan area – and the Giants’ extraordinary new home.
NFL owners today voted to deliver Super Bowl XLVIII to the New Meadowlands Stadium, the glittering 82,500-seat stadium where the Giants and Jets will begin playing their home games this season. The game, which will be played in February 2014, will be the first Super Bowl played in a cold-weather, outdoor venue.
The Giants and Jets co-sponsored the bid – officially entitled “Make Some History”- to bring the Super Bowl to the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area for the first time. The region was selected over competing bids from South Florida and Tampa to host the 2014 Super Bowl.
