Work underway at Giants Stadium…

Demolition of the Giants Stadium is finally underway.

In addition to acting as home to the New York Giants for many years, the Giants Stadium hosted a mass by Pope John Paul II, a concert by U2, and was the venue for the last soccer match ever played by Pele.

But all of that is in the past; and yesterday demolition crews finally got to work with a high reach excavator to take down one of the Big Apple’s most famous landmarks.

Gramercy Group, a Westbury, N.Y.-based demolition company, is performing the more than $10 million demolition project, which will take about four months to complete.
