NEWARK, N.J. -- The New York Giants and Jets will receive $300 million in funding help from NFL owners for their new stadium at the Meadowlands.

The ballpark is projected to cost between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion.

The owners approved the league stadium financing request, a loan, at the NFL owners meeting in Frisco, Texas, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.

The vote was 30-2 for stadium funding, with the Bills and Bengals dissenting.

The teams are jointly financing the stadium, which is expected to open in 2010 and seat between 82,500 and 84,000. Construction is expected to begin next spring.
