Chapter 609: The Largest Stadium in New York
The seventh concert of the Dynamics' world tour, the New York concert, was not held in New York City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
New York City, as we all know, is the largest city in New York State and the largest city in the whole of the United States. The seventh concert of the Power Band was advertised as a New York concert, but it was actually held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The famous Hudson River is also the dividing line between New York and New Jersey, and this stadium is located on the west side of the Hudson River, so it belongs to the state of New Jersey.
Just conceptually, the area within 30 kilometers of Manhattan Island to the west and north can be called Greater New York.
The MetLife Stadium in New York, located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is about 20 kilometers away from Manhattan, so it is also regarded as the greater New York area.
In fact, MetLife Stadium is also home to the New York Giants and New York Jets in the NFL, two of the most famous teams in the NFL that made the stadium their home stadium back in 2010.
Two famous New York football teams have arranged this place as their home stadium, so the power band concert here can naturally be called a New York concert.
It is for this reason that the plane they were flying on did not land at JFK International Airport in the United States, and if they did land from there, they would have to cross all of Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Lincoln Tunnel on the Hudson River to West New York, and then cross the Hackensack River via the bridge across the River in Sicaucus to reach MetLife Stadium. This trip will take at least nearly 40 kilometers, with the traffic conditions of Greater New York, you just have to run for at least two hours if you are in a hurry for these 40 kilometers, if you can't catch up, you will be stuck in traffic jams, and you will die in a hurry!
If you land from Tetborough Airport, you can walk less than 5 kilometers south along Route 17 from the airport to MetLife Stadium, which takes less than half an hour from getting off the plane to leaving the airport and then to the stadium......
Speaking of this Tetboro airport, the grandmaster of the previous life once watched the Oscar-winning actor Tom . Hanks made a movie called "Captain Sully", which is based on a fact, and this fact has something to do with the airport.
On January 15, 2009, an Airbus A320 aircraft that took off from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Seattle was flocked by birds at an altitude of 3,200 feet 90 seconds after takeoff, causing both of the plane's engines to be scrapped.
In this case, the aircraft had to rely on gliding to return to the airport, and the order given by the tower at the time was to let the aircraft glide directly to Tetborough Airport for a forced landing. As a result, the experienced captain was very sensitive to the discovery that he could not reach Tetborough Airport or return to LaGuardia Airport by relying only on the gliding of the plane, and finally made a decisive decision to make a forced landing on the Hudson River. In the end, the forced landing was successful, and all 155 people on board were rescued.
This event is also known as the "Hudson River Miracle".
Flight 1549 didn't make it to Tetboro Airport, but the Grandmaster landed safely at this airport.
Because it was across the Atlantic, there was a six-hour time difference, so when the Grandmaster and they landed, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon.
I've slept enough on the plane, and they can't sleep at all if you let them get jet lag at this time, so after eating something, the brothers took the hotel car directly to the MetLife Stadium in New York.
For this stadium, the grandmaster is also very yearning.
Completed in 2010, the stadium is one of the most advanced and expensive stadiums in the world today.
The stadium was originally expected to cost $1.6 billion, and when it finally opened, the stadium cost $1.73 billion. It is the most expensive stadium in the world.
Of course, the value of the naming rights of this stadium is also staggering, and it costs $20 million just to obtain the naming rights of the stadium.
With 82,566 seats, the stadium is the largest home of any of Major League Solier's 32 teams. A standard American football turf in the stadium is 109.7 meters long and 48.8 meters wide.
It is surrounded by three tiers of stands that are tens of meters high, and because of the angle, the stands of the stadium appear extremely steep, which will cause great psychological pressure on the visiting team who come to play.
The stadium also has a 1,210-inch high-definition giant screen on all sides and 2,018 large-screen LCD TVs, allowing the audience to watch the game without any dead spots, and each seat in the spectator seat has a fixed cup holder for drink bottles and bottled water. At the same time, the giant stadium has 1,350 toilets......
It can be said that such a luxurious stadium has never been seen before by the Grandmaster. It is the Americans, who are extremely fanatical about rugby, that they are willing to build such a luxurious stadium. Not to mention in Europe, even in Dahua, there has never been such a luxurious stadium.
Although the stadium is not as famous as Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, it is definitely quite a hilarious thing to hold a concert here.
After all, this is a large stadium that can accommodate more than 80,000 people, and the number of fans in the stadium can exceed 100,000 when the concert is held, which is far from being comparable to Madison Square Garden, which can only accommodate about 20,000 people.
This wonderful taste of the neat shouts and chorus of more than 100,000 people in the audience had already tasted it several times before.
The grandmasters were deeply shocked by the luxury of the facilities in this stadium, and what made them happiest was that there was a huge parking lot outside this stadium.
The size of the parking lot alone is larger than the lawn in Vienna's Danube Park. At that time, if there are no fans who have bought tickets to come to the outside of the stadium, this parking lot alone will be enough to accommodate more than 300,000 people!
The song and dance storm set off by the power band in Europe spread to the United States early. The Power Band also has a huge number of fans in the United States, and when the Power Band held a concert in Europe, there were many American fans who couldn't wait to fly to Europe to see it.
Now that the Power Band is coming to the United States, American fans can't wait for it.
The tickets that had been pre-sold online alone had all been sold out as early as when the Grandmaster and the others flew across the Atlantic. A full 103,000 tickets were swept away by the avid fans in half a day.
Like European football, American football is now in a truce, so they can toss around here.
There will be a two-week gap between the New York and Amsterdam concerts, which means that the grandmasters will be holding their first concert in North America at this magnificent stadium on July 29.
