Giants Stadium (AP)
Wrecking Ball Is Set To Swing At Giants Stadium
Posted: February 4, 2010
EAST RUTHERFORD (AP) -- Demolition work is set to begin today on Giants Stadium.

A crane will start dismantling the top sections of the 34-year-old venue that has played host to the Giants, the Jets, the Cosmos, the MetroStars and the Red Bulls.

It also was the scene of numerous Bruce Springsteen concerts. Springsteen and the E Street Band performed the song, "Wrecking Ball" as they finished a five-concert run at the venue.

Everything from seats to pieces of turf are being sold to make way for a new stadium in the Meadowlands.

The new stadium will seat 82,500 fans, including 9,500 club seats and 222 luxury suites. It will be the NFL's third-largest stadium.

A Bon Jovi concert in late May will officially open the stadium.
