EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -The New York Giants have tested the turf at their new stadium and had mixed results on the first day of their three-day mandatory minicamp.
The Giants’ afternoon workout inside the New Meadowlands Stadium on Tuesday drew an estimated 7,000 onlookers.
The new FieldTurf field at the $1.6 billion arena claimed wide receiver Domenik Hixon, whose right foot got caught in the soft surface on a punt return. Hixon had his knee checked by trainers and walked off under his own power. The team says it’s not known if Hixon will be available for the rest of the minicamp.
Coach Bill Coughlin said it was a good experience “to come in here and have a chance to work on the turf and check the wind out, it’s a different venue from Giants Stadium.”
