Gramercy Group, Inc. demolished the press box at Giants Stadium, home stadium for the New York Giants and New York Jets, at The Meadowlands in East Rutherford , New Jersey on the evening of May 19th, 2010.

A traditional 'pull-down' method successfully and safely brought the structure to the ground after weeks of preparation.

Using their 2 Caterpillar dozers and 2 Komatsu loaders the front support columns were first pulled out of the way. This allowed 3 of their Komatsu and 3 of their Hitachi excavators to pull the structure with heavy cables wrapped around structural columns on the top floor of the Press Box, 185 feet up.

The land will be used for parking for Meadowlands Stadium which opened in April 2010.
