[size=7]Skanska to Build Giants, Jets Stadium [/size] Fri Jan 26, 6:42 AM STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Swedish construction company Skanska AB said Friday it had received a $998 million order to design and build a new football stadium for the New York Giants and the New York Jets. The open-air stadium will be part of the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It will seat 82,000 spectators and include 217 luxury suite boxes, Skanska spokesman Peter Gimbe said. He said it would take about four years to build the stadium, but added it was up to the teams to decide when to start using it. The stadium has been expected to open in 2010. Skanska said that the contract with the Meadowlands NFL Football Stadium LLC was its largest U.S. contract yet. The Swedish company, which is also participating in building of the new baseball stadium for the New York Yankees, will include it in its order bookings in the first quarter. |

And the costs keep rising... [size=7]Stadium tab: 1.4 bil [/size] The anticipated costs for the new stadium for the Giants and Jets at the Meadowlands have risen to $1.4 billion, and there still are 3-1/2 more years to go. The latest estimate was $200 million higher than the last one and nearly double the original $750 million estimate the Giants gave when they began this project on their own in April 2005. The skyrocketing total costs were revealed yesterday when the teams announced they have placed a $998 million order with a Swedish construction company to design and build the 82,000-seat, open-air stadium. The plan calls for the stadium to be completed in time for the 2010 season, with groundbreaking expected late this spring or early this summer. The company, Skanska AB, previously built Reliant Stadium in Houston and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. It is also participating in the construction of the new Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Designs of the exterior of the new stadium are expected to be unveiled late next month. The Giants and Jets, who are financing the project themselves with the help of a $300 million loan from the NFL, have cleared most major hurdles to get the stadium built. They still are awaiting the results of an environmental impact study from the New Jersey Dept. of Environmental Protection. Approval from that department isn't expected until March. |
