Located at the center of the Garden State, MetLife Stadium looms large, a looming colossus with a chilling playoff history. It is a house of horrors for New York’s gridiron faithful. The Giants and Jets, co-tenants in this hallowed ground, have felt the postseason chill in the New Jersey air.

Since its $1.6 billion birth in 2010, MetLife Stadium has borne witness to triumphs and tribulations. The New York Jets, with the mighty stadium as their fortress, have etched a checkered record. A ledger that boasts 68 victories, shadowed by 92 defeats overall, but glimmers with a 42-39 home record.

Jets’ story of the MetLife Stadium

On that fateful September 13, 2010, the Jets christened their new abode against the Baltimore Ravens, falling in a gut-wrenching 10-9 clash. The memory of that 2010 AFC Championship loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers still lingers, haunting their playoff dreams.

In the annals of MetLife Stadium history, 2015 stands tall as the Jets’ zenith, with a quietly impressive 6-2 home record. Conversely, the abyss of 2014 reflects their nadir, a dismal 1-7 at home. Yet, their MetLife Stadium saga is a mixed one, a tale of victories interspersed with heartbreak. A winning home record but a subpar overall mark.

History speaks of Namath’s 4,000-yard pass in 1967, and Riggins’ 1,000-yard run in 1975. And the MetLife’s crown jewel, a must-visit destination for Jets fans? The Great Wall, a 400’x40′ tribute, is adorned with epic player murals.
