点评:If you’re looking for the absolute bottom of the NFL barrel, congratulations: MetLife Stadium is your destination. It’s not a stadium. It’s a giant gray tax write-off sitting in a swamp off the NJ Turnpike, surrounded by the most chaotic parking layout known to mankind.
Let’s start with the location. Someone, somewhere, decided the best place for a multibillion-dollar stadium was in a marshland where the mosquitos file flight plans. You don’t “arrive” at MetLife so much as you escape the gravitational pull of the Meadowlands after eventually finding parking.
Ah yes, the parking — the single worst parking situation of any stadium in the world. You can leave three hours early and still miss kickoff because you’ll inevitably be stuck in a conga line of confused drivers trying to decipher color-coded lots that make zero sense. Leaving afterward? Pack a lunch. You’ll be sitting there long enough to experience the five stages of grief.
Inside the stadium? Lifeless. Soulless. Charmless. It’s like watching an NFL game inside a giant air fryer. No personality, no energy, no identity. Just aluminum, concrete, and despair.
And let’s talk about the football. Both the Giants and Jets call it home, which feels fitting because nothing says “cursed ground” like a stadium where two franchises go to suffer.
If you were designing the worst NFL stadium imaginable, you’d still fall short of whatever MetLife Stadium is attempting to be. It’s not just bad, it’s a landmark of underachievement.
翻译:如果你想体验NFL最差劲的球场,恭喜你:大都会人寿体育场(MetLife Stadium)就是你的目的地。它根本不是球场,而是一座巨大的灰色建筑,坐落在新泽西州收费公路旁的一片沼泽地里,周围环绕着人类历史上最混乱的停车场。
先说说它的选址吧。不知哪个人,竟然觉得在蚊子都飞的沼泽地里建一座耗资数十亿美元的球场是最佳选择。与其说是“抵达”大都会人寿体育场,不如说是好不容易找到停车位后,才从梅多兰兹(Meadowlands)的“引力”中逃脱出来。
啊,对了,停车——这是全世界所有球场中最糟糕的停车状况。就算你提前三个小时出发,也未必能赶上开球,因为你肯定会被堵在一条由一脸茫然的司机组成的长龙里,他们试图解读那些毫无意义的颜色编码停车场。比赛结束后还要离开?记得带午餐。你会在那儿坐上很久,足以体验到悲伤的五个阶段。
球场内部?死气沉沉。毫无灵魂,毫无魅力。就像在一个巨大的空气炸锅里看NFL比赛一样。没有个性,没有活力,没有特色。只有铝、混凝土和绝望。
我们来聊聊橄榄球吧。巨人队和喷气机队都把这里当作主场,这感觉很贴切,因为没有什么比两支球队都在这里受苦的球场更能体现“诅咒之地”的意味了。
就算你设计出你能想象到的最糟糕的NFL球场,也比不上大都会人寿体育场(MetLife Stadium)试图达到的水平。它不仅糟糕,简直是失败的典范。
