Construction workers gathered yesterday at an open landing in a brand new Meadowlands stadium to watch 34-year-old Giants Stadium’s demolition kickoff. The $10 project is slated to take roughly four months and began at Gate B, part of which overlaps with the concourse of the as-yet-unnamed future home of the Jets and Giants football teams. Once that area is clear, crews from Westbury-based Gramercy, the contractors in charge of the demolition project, will move on to the stadium’s interior, where seats are being sold to fans as memorabilia, and will then take apart the stadium from the top down. The new stadium, slated to officially open in May with a Bon Jovi concert, will be the third largest in the National Football League, with room for 82,500 fans, including 9,500 club seats and 222 luxury suites.
