Jack Trice Stadium is a stadium in Ames, Iowa. It is primarily used for American football, and is the home field of the Iowa State University Cyclones. It opened on September 20, 1975 (with a win against Air Force), and holds 45,814 people.

The stadium consists of double-decked bowed grandstands running the length of either sideline, as well as endzone bleachers in the south endzone and the Richard O. Jacobsen Athletic Center, an athletic center and field house completed in 1996, in the north endzone. The field is slightly lower than the surrounding ground, which was also built up so that there is only a single main concourse each for the grandstands. The $6.2 million, three level press box was completed in 1997, and permanent lighting and a new video/scoreboard in the south endzone were added in 2002. The stadium is part of the Iowa State Center, a sports, entertainment and continuing education complex located to the southeast of the school’s main campus.

Continental Airlines Arena, East Rutherford, USA

Continental Airlines Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It is home to the New Jersey Devils NHL hockey team and the New Jersey Nets NBA basketball team . The arena also hosts the men’s basketball games of Seton Hall University. Official seating capacity as of 2004 is 19,040 for hockey; 20,029 for college basketball; 19,968 for NBA games; and a maximum 20,000 for concerts.

Construction on a new arena across New Jersey State Highway 20 (now 120) from Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands Racetrack began in 1977. Originally named Brendan Byrne Arena (named after the sitting governor of the state, who was also a member of the ownership group seeking to bring an NHL team to the State), the arena opened July 2, 1981, with the first of six concerts by New Jersey rock musician Bruce Springsteen. This was followed by an ice show later that month. Although named after Byrne, many people and some tickets and press releases simply referred (and still refer) to it as Meadowlands Arena.
