About Meadowlands Tailgate Grounds
The vast Meadowlands parking lots surrounding MetLife Stadium are the stage for one of the NFL's most storied tailgate cultures, where Giants and Jets fans have been building pregame traditions since the original stadium opened in 1976. On shared-game weekends, the color-coded lots create a divided but spirited atmosphere where the rivalry between the two fan bases plays out over grills and folding chairs. Arriving three hours before kickoff to walk the tailgate grounds is essential to experiencing what makes the Meadowlands unique in professional football.
