ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -With the preseason opener just days away, some New York Giants have concerns about their first game in their $1.6 billion stadium.
The problem isn’t the opponent – Rex Ryan and the Jets.
The issue is the FieldTurf at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Receiver Domenik Hixon suffered a major knee injury in the Giants’ only workout on the field during minicamp in June, raising speculation about the surface. He was later waived-injured.
The Giants say they re-examined the field and are satisfied there is nothing wrong with it.
Some players remain wary heading into Monday night’s game against the Jets, the first football game to be played in the new facility that is co-owned by the two teams.
