New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announces 100% capacity at MetLife Stadium for Jets and Giants this year

There’s good news for Giants and Jets fans: After a year in which they couldn’t attend games at MetLife Stadium due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no limits on attendance in 2021.

Gov. Phil Murphy announced Monday that the stadium will return to full capacity beginning May 28, thanks to a significant reduction in COVID-19 cases in the state. That means the Giants and Jets can play before full houses for preseason and regular season games.

And playoff games – if they get that far.

"We are thrilled by Governor Murphy’s announcement today to have MetLife Stadium operate at full capacity for the 2021 season," the Giants and Jets said in a joint statement issued Monday afternoon.
