    MetLife Stadium Seating Chart

    Top football view: mezzanine sidelines 207C–220C or 232C–245C

    Both home teams use the same east sideline, so the map never flips. Choose your tier, then decide how much sun and weather you want.

    Choosing a MetLife seat: the fast answer

    For a Giants or Jets game, the mezzanine sidelines give the best view on the chart, and the club blocks there, 207C–220C on the east and 232C–245C on the west, add indoor lounges for cold days. On a budget, sit in the lower half of an upper-level sideline section between the 20-yard lines.

    One fact simplifies everything. Both tenants, the Giants and the Jets, use the same bench on the east side of the field, right below the Coaches Club (111C–115C). Whichever team is hosting, the visitors are always across on the west. Two seating guides agree on the tier ranges: 101–149 in the lower level, 201–250 in the mezzanine and 301–350 in the upper level.

    • First digit tells you the tier.
    • A C means club: the Coaches Club at field level, or the mezzanine club blocks.
    • Numbers wrap the bowl, so each tier's lowest and highest sections meet behind one end zone.

    Sun, shade and cover: pick your side first

    The stadium is open-air and runs roughly north to south, so your side of the field decides your weather. A shade guide reports that for afternoon kickoffs (1 p.m. or 4 p.m.), the east side, where the home bench is, stays in direct sun the longest. Shade reaches the west stands and the south end first. Sun is welcome in December and punishing in September.

    • Early-season heat: lean west or toward the south end.
    • Late-season cold: the east side keeps the sun longest.
    • Rain or snow: buy a high row. The top of every tier is sheltered, either by the deck overhead or by the canopy, and the low rows of every tier are open to the sky.
    • Bad forecast and flexible budget: the indoor lounges behind the benches and on the mezzanine earn their premium.

    Lower level: close, but choose the row carefully

    The lower bowl circles the field and runs deepest behind the end zones, where sections climb back toward the mezzanine overhang.

    • Coaches Club, 111C–115C: field-level club seats right behind the home bench, plus a lounge directly behind. Two guides agree on that location, and one adds that on Jets game days the club area is 112–114 with only the first rows of 111C and 115C.
    • Visitor side, near section 139: the road team's bench, backed by its own premium club.
    • End zones: close to goal-line plays, far from everything between the 30s.

    Middle and upper rows of the sideline sections beat the front rows, where players and staff block the near sideline. Behind the end zones, the top rows are tucked beneath the mezzanine. You stay out of rain and December wind, but you lose high punts and the upper video boards.

    Mezzanine and upper level compared

    Mezzanine (201–250)

    The middle tier is the strongest football view in the stadium. Two seating guides agree on its pair of club blocks: home side (east) 207C–220C and visitor side (west) 232C–245C. Each has a heated and air-conditioned lounge. Subtract those and the regular mezzanine seats are the corner and end-zone sections, 201–206, 221–231 and 246–250. They offer a full-field view at a moderate price.

    One caution: a seating guide reports structural beams in the top rows of a few mezzanine end-zone sections that can cut into the view, worst at the row ends. In the last few rows of an end-zone 200, pick seats toward the center of the row.

    Upper level (301–350)

    The largest, steepest tier is the least expensive way into a game. Sideline sections give a clean look at the whole field, and the first rows between the 20s come close to a broadcast angle. Rows near the top are sheltered by the canopy; rows near the front are not.

    • Strongest upper seats: the sideline between the 20s, below the midpoint of the section.
    • Most regretted: the last rows in the upper corners and behind the goal posts, as far from midfield as the stadium gets.
    • Worth requesting: an aisle, since rows are long and the climb is steep.

    Concerts and soccer at MetLife

    End-stage concerts

    Tours generally build the stage at one end and lay temporary floor sections across the turf; many charts number them from Floor 1 up to roughly 14. Whatever tier you choose, the end zone behind the stage is normally tarped or sold with a limited-view label. Guides single out 149 below and 349 above as typical side- or rear-stage seats. Your strongest options are the front floor sections or a sideline seat in the lower bowl or mezzanine on the half nearest the stage.

    Soccer

    The bowl stays the same for international soccer. To read formations, sit on a mezzanine sideline or high in the lower level rather than low behind a goal.

    Football

    Midfield is the center of the Coaches Club below and the center of each mezzanine club block above, for both teams' games. A Reserved Seat order comes with guaranteed entry.

    Getting to your seat with a disability

    Per the stadium, every level has seating for wheelchair users, guests with limited mobility and their companions, and the venue's map pinpoints each wheelchair spot.

    • Accessible elevators: by three entrances (Moody's, Verizon and HCLTech), with separate lifts for premium seat holders on both the east and west sides.
    • Ramps: one behind each end zone, north and south.
    • Escalators: five entrances have them: AMEX, MetLife, Moody's, Verizon and HCLTech.
    • Hearing access: stream the PA to your own phone with ListenWIFI, use the hearing loops installed at concessions and ticket windows, or read captions on the ribbon board under the HCLTech and Moody's screens.
    • More help: staff assistants can bring you from the gate to your seat by wheelchair, every level has single-user restrooms, and sensory pods are available.

    No alcohol-free section appears on the stadium's accessibility page. See the MetLife Stadium accessibility page for current details.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do the Giants and Jets use different sidelines at MetLife Stadium?

    No. No. They share one home bench on the east side, below Coaches Club 111C–115C, and visitors always sit on the west.

    Which side of MetLife Stadium is in the shade?

    A shade guide reports the west stands and the south end shade first at afternoon kickoffs, while the east (home) side stays sunny longest.

    What are the best upper-level seats at MetLife Stadium?

    The sidelines between the 20s, below the middle of the section. Avoid the last rows of the upper corners and end zones if you can.

    Which MetLife sections are behind the stage at concerts?

    The end zone behind the stage, on every level, is usually tarped or sold as limited view. Guides name 149 and 349 as examples of seats beside or behind most stages.

    Are MetLife Stadium mezzanine end-zone seats obstructed?

    A few can. One guide reports beams blocking part of the view from the top rows of some mezzanine end-zone sections, mostly at row ends.

    Where are accessible elevators at MetLife Stadium?

    By the Moody's, Verizon and HCLTech entrances. Premium seat holders have their own lifts on each sideline, and ramps sit behind both end zones.
