Jon's New Home

Yes, yes, I'm talking about "New Meadowlands".  I'm sorry, I have to call it Giants' Stadium.  No matter what they call it (and they're still looking for corporate sponsorship) it's Giants' Stadium.  We went through that with the "TD Banknorth Garden".  It's the Gahden.  Always has been, always will be.

Anyway, I digress.

Jon's new house has some cool features:

• There are 1,350 toilets/urinals in the stadium
• There are 800 points of sale for food, ranging from hot dogs to premium options.
• Fans can bring in small bags or purses, subject to search. Fans can also bring in food contained in a clear plastic bag. Also, fans can bring in 20 ounces or less of bottled water.
• Concert seating is approximately 65,000, depending on the configuration of the stage. It's 82,500 for football games.
• There are 20 HD pylons ringing the stadium and inside, 30 by 118-foot HD video display screens are in each of the stadium's corners. A video ribbon board circles the interior and there are 2,100 HD monitors in the entire stadium.

Sounds like pretty sweet digs to me.

I'll let you know next week, when I go visiting. Hmmm, is a housewarming gift appropriate?
