With a seating capacity of over 82,000 and a multi-purpose design that hosts both the New York Giants and New York Jets, MetLife Stadium is one of the largest and most versatile stadiums in the NFL.
But that size also means that picking your seat can feel overwhelming—especially if you’ve never been there before.
Whether you're heading to a Sunday showdown against the Eagles, a primetime Monday night game, or a massive concert like Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, your experience can vary significantly depending on where you sit.
In this guide, we’ll break down what it’s really like to watch a game from every major level at MetLife—so you can find your perfect view, vibe and price point.
Seat Views from 100, 200 and 300 Levels + Corners & End Zones
MetLife Stadium has three main levels—the 100s (Lower Bowl), 200s (Mezzanine) and 300s (Upper Bowl)—as well as corner and end-zone seating that offers a range of angles and price points.
100-Level (Lower Bowl)
The 100-level is the closest you can get to the action without being on the field. Sections like 135–143 (behind the home bench for Jets games) and 111–119 (behind the Giants bench) offer unmatched proximity.
Best for: Fans who want to be close to players, feel the energy of the sideline, and catch every hit and celebration up close.
Seat View: Clear and detailed views of the near side of the field, but sometimes tough to see plays develop across the opposite sideline.
Price Range: These seats are typically among the most expensive—especially at midfield or near the 50-yard line.
200-Level (Mezzanine/Club Level)
Sections in the 200s—especially around midfield like 211–213—offer a great balance between elevation and distance. This level includes some club seating with upgraded amenities, depending on the section.
Best for: Fans looking for better sightlines and fewer obstructions, or who want access to premium lounges and shorter concessions lines.
Seat View: Elevated enough to see the whole field clearly, with less distortion than the upper level and a more comfortable experience than the lower corners.
Price Range: Generally mid-tier pricing, though club seats (like 234 or 239) can be closer in cost to 100-level tickets.
300-Level (Upper Bowl)
If you’re on a budget or attending with a group, the 300-level is often your best bet. Sections 313–319 provide a centered view of the action from up high.
Best for: Casual fans, big groups, or anyone attending on a tighter budget who still wants a full-field perspective.
Seat View: Surprisingly solid sightlines—especially from center sections—but farther from the action. The scoreboard and large video screens become key to tracking details.
Price Range: Most affordable option in the stadium.
Corners & End Zones
These can be found across all levels. Sections like 149, 250B, and 347 offer unique angles at varying distances.
Best for: Fans who enjoy red zone action, touchdown celebrations, or being near the tunnel.
Seat View: More action when the ball is in your zone, but limited perspective on plays across the field.
Price Range: Often lower than sideline seating at the same level, making them a strong value if you don’t mind a skewed angle.
Sightline and Comfort Comparisons
When it comes to sightlines, the 200-level hits a sweet spot—especially for fans who want to see plays unfold without sacrificing proximity. The 100-level offers excitement and crowd intensity, while the 300-level offers a wider view with a more relaxed vibe.
In terms of comfort, premium club sections like 135C and 236 provide padded seats, indoor access, and upgraded restrooms. If comfort and shorter lines are priorities, consider these areas over traditional lower-bowl seating, which can feel cramped during high-attendance games.
Where Fans of Opposing Teams Usually Sit
MetLife Stadium tends to have a strong hometown crowd, but you’ll often find pockets of visiting fans, especially in games against major rivals like the Patriots, Eagles or Cowboys.
These fans typically sit:
In upper corner sections (e.g., 324–329 or 347–350), where ticket prices are lower and availability is higher.
In end-zone areas like 149 or 123, particularly when tickets are sold through visiting team promotions or resale platforms.
If you’re a visiting fan looking to be around fellow supporters, check SeatGeek’s interactive map for group buys or clusters in those areas.
And if you’re a home fan who wants to avoid rival noise, you may want to stick to central 100 or 200-level seats.
Best Value Picks at MetLife
Looking for the sweet spot between view and price?
These sections consistently offer high value for the cost:
Section 213 (Mezzanine, Jets side): Great midfield view, elevated but not too high. Cheaper than club-level with excellent sightlines.
Section 149 (Lower End Zone): Closer than you'd expect for the price, perfect for watching touchdowns up close.
Section 313 (Upper Center): Affordable bird’s-eye view with no extreme angle—ideal for casual fans or large groups.
Use SeatGeek’s Deal Score® to compare value in real time. Tickets in Sections 211–215 and 311–315 often get high Deal Scores due to a combination of good view, reasonable pricing and lower demand compared to sideline lower bowl seats.
