DESCRIPTION
Fans will cheer at the Big Game from 82,500 seats made of 80 percent recycled cast iron and 20 percent recycled plastic. They’ll watch 2,100 HD monitors and rock out to Bruno Mars with a 2,500-speaker sound system. After drinking their fill of beer, they’ll utilize low-flow toilets and waterless urinals. These are just a few of the behind-the-scenes facts about the way Skanska built MetLife Stadium. Here’s a visual illustration of everything you need to know about the stadium to impress your friends while you watch the game

Building Information Modeling (BIM)
expedited the construction process and led
to opening 5 months ahead of schedule.
Prefabrication techniques were used
on the lighting system and 3,200
pieces of concrete were precast at
four plants and shipped to the site.
Radio frequency identification (RFID)
tags tracked more than 3,200 concrete
pieces weighing up to 45,000 pounds
each. Every piece was custom made for
its specific location in the stadium and
is not interchangeable.
