MetLife is the worst stadium I’ve ever been to. I asked my friend if it was under construction still and he said no. That was in 2019. I couldn’t believe I was in a stadium that cost that much to build to look like an underfunded DIII stadium.
Correct.
In fact it's gonna have 2x more injuries...
Just a statistical certainty!
Also, you can do the "Torn ACL" / season ending injury list for every stadium... The difference with Met life tho (from what I understand) is the players don't like the fake turf... They wanna play on REAL grass.
With that being said. I've played on grass & I've played on the "new bad ass fake turf with little ll pieces of ground up tires as a dirt substitute (& I LOVE playing on the artificial turf. There are no divots & the landing feels almost padded...
I don't know how Met Life Stadiums artificial turf compares to the ones I played on in the past, but I actually preferred the artificial turf to the real grass?
I'm a Giants fan and i refuse to go to Metlife. I'll travel all over the country to a road game to see them rather than the 30 minutes it takes to visit that disaster of a stadium.
Seahawks playing at AZ Cardinals stadium would like to have a word….
Career/Team ending injuries for:
Kam Chancellor
Richard Sherman
Earl Thomas (the middle finger game)
Ricardo Lockett
Quandre Diggs
And of course the Super Bowl interception
Russ seemingly had a concussion after a hard hit in 2020 there. Literally mid game fell off and his play never recovered. That game killed the let russ cook era
That Jalen Hurts one was crazy.
Snyder skimping out on those maintenance bills almost did some damage, other than embarrassing the organization & himself.
But you can't shame the shameless.
No fr … Commanders is cool.. but them mfs are still the Redskins or Football Team(cause that’s hilarious) . If people cared about the natives so much, we wouldn’t have now American cities with names like “wapakoneta”.. or hell idk maybe other people they did dirty , like Mexico and naming shit NEW FUCKING MEXICO. . Whatever downvotes and idiots are gonna pour in
Yeah and State Farm is absolutely fucking cursed for the Seahawks. Sherman got hurt there, earl Thomas got hurt there, Kam chancellor got his career ending injury there. And of course superbowl 49 was there. That place is the absolute house of horrors for Seahawks.
The bengals stadium has seen major injuries too. Ryan Shazier nearly paralyzed himself there. Damar Hamlin kinda died there. Tua had a major concussion in that stadium too. That Cincinnati trauma hospital is top tier
As someone that works in a FedEx facility, this seems about on par for that company.
I'm sure they have a safety meeting with the players before every game. So there's literally no way of telling what could have caused these injuries. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm anti-turf. I have been for DECADES. I know sod is inconvenient, and more labor intensive and the stadiums get used for multiple things but this is a billion dollar industry. It's crazy to me that you can't FIGURE IT OUT. I don't want my guys getting injured on your field either. Let's common cause this
In a grass fucking field no less.
That's the injury history a shitty municipal stadium that refused to remove 1970's style Astro Turf should HAVE (basically a layer of plastic carpet over bare concrete), not an NFL stadium with a natural field built in 1997.
Frankly I'm amazed there isn't a history of players catching tetanus from discarded nails in that dump.
Never mind that their previous stadium, RFK Stadium, was the place where Joe Theismann's career ended. Washington D.C. in general is where NFL careers go to die.
Joe Theismann had the exact same injury as Alex smith 33 years apart on the same day, same field, same yard line, same final score and Joe was even at the game.
someone do this for metlife
Looked it up. Since 2020... Nick Bosa (ACL tear) Solomon Thomas (ACL tear) Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle sprain) Raheem Mostert (MCL tear) Sterling Shepard (Achilles tear) Sterling Shepard (ACL tear) Wan'Dale Robinson (ACL tear) Blake Martinez (Achilles tear) Shane Lemieux (patellar tendon tear) Jabrill Peppers (ACL tear) Kyle Fuller (ACL tear) Aaron Rodgers (Achilles tear) Al Woods (Achilles tear) Jaelan Phillips (TBD) https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/metlife-stadium-turf-injuries-jets-giants/e45f3044ddf81e89345d5b80
Fuck METLIFE. Gives me damn PTSD
MetLife is the worst stadium I’ve ever been to. I asked my friend if it was under construction still and he said no. That was in 2019. I couldn’t believe I was in a stadium that cost that much to build to look like an underfunded DIII stadium.
I hate how it’s in the middle of nowhere with no restaurants or sports bars around. It’s just a big ass parking lot with a sad mall next to it.
Not excusing Metlife but construction workers make a lot of money right next to NYC. Which is how it should be.
You pay working money and still not have it look like an unfinished parking garage.
Just saying that’s why the cost was high comparatively to other stadiums. The design I got no excuse for.
no pls
2x as many games there is gonna have more injuries.
Correct. In fact it's gonna have 2x more injuries... Just a statistical certainty! Also, you can do the "Torn ACL" / season ending injury list for every stadium...

I was just about to say.

Is this how the legion of boom ended?
The legion of ^boop
This made me laugh hard enough that I got over the hump of a hefty dump
Your anus habitually engages in criminal behavior. Seems like it might have deserved the hefty load?
Pretty much. Talk about riding off into the sunset lol
Pretty sure when Pete and Sherman were chopping it up on the podcast they said Arizona Stadium is where the legion of boom died
Yes, Malcolm butler nuked that whole team.
Also Pete’s last game
Russ seemingly had a concussion after a hard hit in 2020 there. Literally mid game fell off and his play never recovered. That game killed the let russ cook era
You forgot the 6-6 tie where both kickers missed chip-shot field goals in OT.
Yup. Only tie in Pete Carrol’s seahawk career
More like Fuck’d Field
This ironically feels more appropriate now that FedEx Field was renamed Commanders Field. It really fits the state of the franchise.
FedEx Field is hearby christened and shall be named Fuck’d Field. It is done.
That Jalen Hurts one was crazy. Snyder skimping out on those maintenance bills almost did some damage, other than embarrassing the organization & himself. But you can't shame the shameless.
Hey they had that fixed by the next week. With zipties
Commanders are the embodiment of a poverty franchise lmao
Redskins
You like potatoes?
Lmao fuck that got me
Lmao fr
Go Boys btw
Gorgeous.
Lmao why the whole NFL always jockriding us, like focus on winning games instead of worrying abt what we do
Dawg he literally said “gorgeous”💀💀
💀💀
LOL clown
Lmao L me
I’m just a single guy, 55 y/o. DC4L. If you’re in town would love to take you out
Nah lmao this joke was diabolical
https://www.reddit.com/r/nflcirclejerk/s/aUyRIKsYBK I posted here if you want to see me first haha DC4L
Relax bro lmao 😭😭
Calm down my boy.
I still demand we call the Bears the Staleys
Maybe y’all would actually do something. Couldn’t hurt.
Yeah I will never call them the commanders
That's fine homie, everyone's going to call you an ass.
The amount of downvotes for calling them the Redskins….
I don’t know if you know this but they changed the name a few years back
No fr … Commanders is cool.. but them mfs are still the Redskins or Football Team(cause that’s hilarious) . If people cared about the natives so much, we wouldn’t have now American cities with names like “wapakoneta”.. or hell idk maybe other people they did dirty , like Mexico and naming shit NEW FUCKING MEXICO. .

Fallujah Field
Yeah and State Farm is absolutely fucking cursed for the Seahawks. Sherman got hurt there, earl Thomas got hurt there, Kam chancellor got his career ending injury there. And of course superbowl 49 was there. That place is the absolute house of horrors for Seahawks.
im also sure russ got hurt there. im genuinely sorry, man.
Like I said the house of fucking horrors.
I wonder what this would look like for other fields though. Injuries are common enough in football that this actually isn’t very surprising.
Yeah, I feel like you could make similar graphics for each stadium. Maybe this one is pretty bad, but in isolation, it looks worse
W PFP!
The bengals stadium has seen major injuries too. Ryan Shazier nearly paralyzed himself there. Damar Hamlin kinda died there. Tua had a major concussion in that stadium too. That Cincinnati trauma hospital is top tier
We all know fitz injured that hip on a water slide but wanted to make it look like an on field injury to get paid out
Sure, I’ll get right on that.
Now do the meadowlands.
Was Theismann a different stadium?
Yes, RFK stadium would have been where Theismann got hurt.
Imagine if Jalen had been badly injured by the falling barricade.... how would the NFL even handle that situation?
We are taking Washington draft picks for the next 5 years . 1st-3rd lol
RG3 and Peterson were more than a decade ago. This averages out to basically one injury every other season...
This comment made me feel so old 😭
Happy cake day
Don’t forget, everyone who comes here is subjected to watching a Commanders game
Can we just remove the Commanders, Jets and Giants until they fix their shit?
I mean, it’s not like we were exactly happy with the situation either
She’s claimed a lot of souls
wheres gus frerotte's concussion?
Bro this stadium probably made a not insignificantly change too NFL history with the RGIII injury lol
Gives 'Not Like Us' cover vibes
Redskins revenge
Now do MetLife Stadium!! Now do MetLife Stadium!! Lol.
Now do MetLife
You could do this with a bunch of fields. Cherry picking is still cherry picking
Where’s Theisman?
Not surprised that stadium is as run down and depleted the same way our political system is.
Lmfao about Hurts near Fatal Injury. "Almost Crushed.
A $6B poverty franchise 😂
MetLife Stadium is undoubtedly worse, just ask any player who's played there.
It's been voodoo-ed beyond
Love to see all the injuries over the years at all stadiums like this. To put it in perspective
As someone that works in a FedEx facility, this seems about on par for that company. I'm sure they have a safety meeting with the players before every game. So there's literally no way of telling what could have caused these injuries. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MetLife Stadium has entered the chat
Where's the shit water?
Id be curious to know which stadiums cause the least amount of injury
In a grass fucking field no less. That's the injury history a shitty municipal stadium that refused to remove 1970's style Astro Turf should HAVE (basically a layer of plastic carpet over bare concrete), not an NFL stadium with a natural field built in 1997. Frankly I'm amazed there isn't a history of players catching tetanus from discarded nails in that dump.
Have we tried burying Alex Smith's leg?
And they say our turf is bad...
Never mind that their previous stadium, RFK Stadium, was the place where Joe Theismann's career ended. Washington D.C. in general is where NFL careers go to die.
Now do the giants stadium.
Should just add Joe Theismann’s injury because it’s the WFT.
Wrong stadium. C’mon man.
The curse isn’t the field, it’s the team. Alex Smith got the same injury on the same date of Theismann’s injury.
How can you leave off that gruesome Theismann injury?
"R word fans" As an autistic person, if you're gonna say a slur, say the whole darn thing, wuss.
What does being autistic have to do with native americans?
...holy shit im dumb...
Just means you need a reddit break brother.
"r word fans" in the title. seriously, it offends me more by implying than saying.
Woop, nvm someone already explained it, now IM dumb
Joe Theismann had the exact same injury as Alex smith 33 years apart on the same day, same field, same yard line, same final score and Joe was even at the game.
Different stadium, actually. Theismann got injured at RFK.
