Tyler Erzberger, Touchdown WireFri, November 21, 2025 at 8:56 PM UTC·2 min readA fun discussion in the NFL can always be found when talking about the respective stadiums.
Which playing field is the nicest? Who has the best food? Are new venues like SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas better than old-school stadiums like Arrowhead or Lambeau that have decades of history?

MetLife Stadium.
The home of the Giants and Jets is still considered one of the newer stadiums in football, but sits in an awkward spot where it doesn't have the forward-facing nature of Jerry's World or the west coast stadiums, or the history of landmark venues. It's plain looking, a hunk of concrete smack dab in the middle of New Jersey, with an even worse playing field.
A reporter asked how Jacobs felt after getting injured playing on the MetLife field and thankfully avoiding anything serious.

"I know if I ever play there again, I will never talk about it because I talked about it all week -- how bad it was -- and it bit me in the ass."
Since 2020, over six players have either torn their ACL or MCL while playing on MetLife's field.
Jacobs and the Packers escaped without any serious injuries. The Washington Commanders, who play there in two weeks, have had their entire season dictated by injuries and will hope to escape without any more against the Giants like Jacobs.
