The New York Giants and New York Jets broke ground today on the first stadium to be jointly owned by two NFL teams and unveiled how architects plan to make two teams feel at home in a $1.3 billion stadium.

Constructed next to the existing Giants Stadium, the new arena is expected to open for the 2010 season and seat 82,500 in a bowl-design, where seats in the front row are 46 feet from the sidelines. Fans also will find a 300,000-square-foot outdoor plaza for tailgating. Once inside the stadium, fans will encounter one dozen 16x9-foot high-definition video displays spread throughout the seven concourses and the outside plaza. Team stores will house 15,000 square feet of merchandise. Sponsor areas will occupy another 20,000 square feet of themed activities.
