Tour of MetLife Stadium, temporarily renamed New York New Jersey Stadium for World Cup

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (WABC) -- The transformation is underway at MetLife Stadium ahead of its first World Cup match there on Saturday.

The stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey is forced to change its name from MetLife to New York New Jersey Stadium for the duration of the games, because FIFA has strict rules on endorsements.

New Jersey reporter Toni Yates was there, where she got a tour of the stadium as it prepares to welcome soccer fans from around the globe.

You can watch her full report in the media player above.
