According to sources Bon Jovi officially opened the stadium by doing a concert there. The rock concert was enjoyed by 65,000 of Bon Jovi’s fans. The new Meadowlands Stadium was rocking with “Blood on Blood”.
The lead singer for the group grew up thirty miles southwest of the East Rutherford stadium . He said he was the first guy privileged to get on stage and welcome the crowd home to the super bowl. Sources say that the NFL will host the championship game in 2014.
Bon Jovi and the concert he did at the new stadium proved to be a success and there were a lot of fans as stated above on hand to help him open the new stadium. It gives the band a rush when there are so many in a crowd and according to them it just about blew them away. They were also on hand for autographs and the like, it was a cool experience.
They have toured and played for a lot of people but aren’t sure they have played for that many people in one place before. They might have gotten close to that number but they don’t recall over sixty thousand screaming fans. This is the Jets and the Giants new home and Bruce Springstein was the last to put a concert on at the old stadium so Bon Jovi was honored to be the first to open the stadium doors for a concert.
