EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -When Mark Lamping talked about a truly soft opening of the New Meadowlands Stadium, the chief executive of the $1.6 billion home for the Giants and Jets wasn’t kidding.
Fans showing up for a college lacrosse tripleheader on Saturday will see that the concourse around the stadium isn’t complete, the access roads leading into the 82,500-seat facility aren’t finished, and there’s work to be done on some of the concourses and the concession areas in the upper levels.
And the 4,000 or so people who work at the stadium and have undergone 16 hours of training are going to be working their first game. So they might be as confused as the fans coming to the stadium for the first time.
