My Dad was born in Brooklyn...he would bust you in the mouth if you said Brooklyn wasn't "really" NYC.
Secondly, rightly or wrongly, playing Giants Stadium (or Metlife Stadium as it's garishly called now) is basically playing the NYC area.

Yeah, I KNOW that...I'm simply saying I hate when a classic sports stadium is re-named after a @#$%& corporation.Quote

Giants Stadium and MetLife Stadium aren't the same thing.
Both were/are located in the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, NJ.
Giants Stadium was demolished in 2010 (not sure why ?!) shortly after Meadowlands Stadium (now called MetLife Stadium) was built right next to it.
Yeah, it does suck.Quote

i have to agree. but in a different way... while the Meadowlands is considered the "NYC area" it is a terrible place to travel to, to see a show. It looks like it'll be my only option, so i'll make the trek for one of the nights, but the traffic getting in/out of the parking lot and the traffic getting in/out of NJ is terrible!

Can we consider Brooklyn as NYC?

People need to get over this NYC issue. It's a pipe dream now not a reality. They've toured every year since 2012 we should all be thankful for that, it's unbelievable really. See you in NJ!

He actually said it was "locked in" because it was "their home" and that we would all see and that "the apologies will be expected!".

To be honest,I wouldn't go to NY from London to see The Stones unless they are playing in one of the venues in Manhatten area, which is great.
I guess the last gigs in central NY were at The Beacon Theatre in 2006.
I may be wrong there.
Glad I made the trip to NY in January 2003 to see the Stones at MSG.
Three of us made the trip from London and met some great fans from all over the world still in touch with now.
Had a great time there.

Is there any 80,000 capacity stadium centrally located on Manhattan, which I assume some associate with NYC?
