The Yankees and Mets have separate stadiums, so why do the Giants and Jets have to share? I don't know much about baseball, but I've heard that the Mets are every bit as bad as the Jets, so it can't be about record. The crowd tonight looked sold out, so it's not a question of whether or not the Jets make enough money to warrent their own stadium. Also, why don't the New York football teams play in New York?

I'm going to take a wild guess that space and real estate rent has something to do with it.

They apparently found a place to put 2 baseball stadiums, I'm sure they could find a spot for a football stadium. Besides, they don't need to be in New York City... just the state of New York. Outside of Manhattan, there's a lot of open space in that state.

Its the geographical lay of the land though,
Go north from the city and your in Conneticut, go west your in Jersey, go east your in the ocean.
Even though that stadium is in N.Jersey its practically as close to the metro area as they can get without a major multi-billion dollar land deal, and that would have to involve the legislature probably.
They won't ever put the Jets or Giants upstate I wouldn't think, they want to be close to the Metropolis.
Even if that means its Newark or E. Rutherford, N.J.
But who knows, maybe one day they'll get er done and sqeeze a venue in the city, I would think the main obstacle is traffic,parking, logistics more than a structure.
I see they got the Nets in Brooklyn now, I think that's pretty cool.
Will see what Sorp and Mr.Chris thinks about this issue they should be up on it.

realestate in NY is very expensive plus add that on to a cost of a stadium these days and Met/ life is in the meadowlands where getting to the stadium is always a nitemare for the roads around to and into Met life are being constructed still for one but the land was cheap building the new one in the parking lot of the other...it's ugly on the outside but huge on the inside ...worse thing about the stadium IMO is having to share it but it is just about sold out 16 games a year plus there is at least 4 games in pre season they get revenue and add playoiff games and SB in 2014 (but will it be cold thazt day) ...right now bergen county, NJ is trying to get approval to add attractions around the stadium similar to what you see in Minny...but the teams don't want any of that to interfere when games are being played...another thing there are blue laws in Bergen county and it seems the only thing open is met life on that day...JMO

obviously if you hear of traffic all the time in NYC alone, now picture it's NJ and many say jersey roads are the most traveled in the country...right now they are expanding highways into and around NJ that allow cars access from NY state , long island and NYC and south jersey and northern NJ
but low i didn't give you a good enough reason in my prior post...but you patronize chris' post
the best QB in a long time for Giants

This. Until they stop being a colossal embarrassment and quit performing the Ringless Brothers with Tebow and Ryan circus, we'll always be the damn joke of the town, which is utterly dreadful and abysmal to watch. But the incompetent buffoon idiot of an owner Woody Johnson likes the attention, good or bad, so prepare to watch the circus with all the moronic court jesters coming out to play......gamer

I love ragging on the Jets or any NY team for that matter,
But I gotta give em credit, they played well today and pulled out a great win.
I gotta say my fave NY team right now has to be the Brooklyn Nets, they have put together a intrigueing squad, I think they are better than the Knickers-n-skirts.

I loved Wayne Hunter as an overall person as well, but he was terrible as right tackle for the Jets. Getting beat EVERY SINGLE PLAY is simply inexcusable and unheard of. Not a fair weather fan either and call them out on their BS and clown-like tendencies both on and off the field, the the essential problem is the head coach, GM, and owner. That said, very impressive win getting back to the ground and pound offense. I don't expect anything from this season and will be looking towards a high draft pick, but it nice to see they actually put the effort in a game with an actual pass rush.....gamer

I get emails from the Jets as well because I'm apart of the JetsInsider forum. They did do an amazing job in the game and frankly was more impressed with this game than the Buffalo game. But Sanchez and Greene's problem is that they don't perform like this on a consistent basis, and the defense for the most part has been piss poor. Hopefully they can shock the world on Sunday.....gamer

What do you honestly expect when my team has an incompetent owner in Woody Johnson, having a bean counter as a GM in Mike Tannembaun which is "a process", and the leader of the circus of clowns in Rex Ryan? did you honestly expect anything less. I only hope they lose so badly that it will cause even that assclown of a owner I have to fire them and hire REAL football people and build this team up again.......gamer

I agree. They own the longest championship drought in NY. The Jets winning a Championship seems almost as impossible as it did for the Rangers. They needed a new building of their own. I really think that is a part of their jinx.

there's no jinx for the jets.......the owner is a jackass and the blowhard coach oughta just shut his mouth and concentrate on some fundamentals.......football is composed of blocking and tackling as fundamental to the game....maybe Rexy oughta teach that.

Music of my ears and its what I've been teaching to my Jets brethren ever since he made an absolute buffoon out of himself ever since he claimed that this team was "destined for the Superbowl" and the incompetent imbecilic nitwit of an owner only thinks that fans will only show up by signing superstar players instead of putting a quality product out on the field. The cosmic ineptness of this football team WILL lead me to rally other Jet fans to personally see that his dumbass along with that assclown of a head coach to BOTH be gone from this franchise before it embarrasses it self even further......gamer

Connecticut is not North as much as North East and WE are on the ocean. Besides I LIVED in NY most of my life (bar 4 years where I am now in CT) and there IS a HUGE state there to explore in NY. The NY Mets have their stadium in Queens NY and the Yankees have 2 stadiums right in the Bronx. The Jets and the Giants left NY to pursue the Meadowlands so to me they are NO LONGER NY teams, they did not need to leave, they CHOSE to leave. Let NJ keep them. If they want to return to NY, I am sure that there are those that will welcome them, but not this former NYer. Study the geography of NY before making comments on the state that you know nothing about. I STILL love NY, but just got too expensive to live there, otherwise, I would be in NY right now.

It's the truth, quite honestly. But when they go 3-13 this season and unmitigated diaster of a season, even my incompetent buffoon jackass of an owner would realize that he has to make changes. Looking at next year's draft, Manuel/Landry Jones/or to a lesser extent Barkley are good QB prospects and I want Jon Gruden to become the new head coach. The incompetence on this team is mind boggling.......gamer

You're right. Another USC QB could prove disasterous, but Matt Barkley played are games than Mark Sanchez during his college career. But Klien as another QB that i'm interested in when the Jets draft another QB. He reminds me a lot of Big Ben in terms of build, moblieness and accuracy......gamer

Actually, they're not good enough or in my opinon deserve a stadium due to their ineptness.
