@raidingjaguar4566 the jets headquarters and practice facility was located at Hofstra University on long Island and been there from the early 2000s. Then they built a new practice facility in Florham Park New Jersey after metlife was built so idk exactly what you are referring to.

Manhattan real estate is too valuable to be wasted on a stadium that’s only used 8 days a year. Also, knowing the corruption an inefficiency of NYC construction unions, it’d probably cost an insane amount of money.
06:20 not really, Atlanta United get better attendance than the Falcons in Mercedes Benz Stadium and Charlotte fc and Seattle sounders also get good attendance. The teams just have to market themselfes better. I think long term speaking it actually makes sense to me to build that 80k stadium with nycfc because soccer is the biggest growing sports and nycfc have been very good in the last few years and long term its better if they already build a big stadium instead of a small one which will as time continues become way too small for the team.
Very true, those teams market themselves better than other teams and they can survive in an NFL stadium without needing to build a smaller soccer-specific stadium.
Atlanta United does not have better attendance than the Falcons, look up the numbers. But they do draw well, as do Seattle & Charlotte. Those 3 teams have no current need to necessarily leave their NFL stadiums. But there is no way NYCFC needs an 80k-seat stadium to play in for the next 50+ years at least. By the time they command the kind of numbers for a stadium that big it would already be too old of a building.

oh 100% there would be a Riot the reason there was not a Riot when Metlife was built is because that was 100% Privately financed not a Dime of Tax Payer money was spent on that stadium but yea as much as i love the Jets if Newyork tried to get away with making taxpayers even partially fund a stadium for the Jets there would be mass rioting and the stadium would be burned to the ground
Serious question? I’m actually very interested in this and your input would be great. Did NY taxpayers pay anything towards MetLife stadium since it’s New Jersey? Would the city/state of “New York” be willing to “invest”, or pay (bonds, taxes (hotel, car rental, airport tax, besides the airport tax, the others would MOSTLY NOT affect New Yorkers). I’m from Mississippi, I am also pro NYJets having their OWN stadium. They could have a much larger audience share if they move to the city of New York.
@@kappaman1994 i don't want to be rude but did you just not read my comment ? or maybe you didn't see it youtube has a funny habit of hiding comments anyway no as a Jets fan i can proudly say MetLife was 100% Privately financed not a dime of tax payer money was spent on it
Lease? They own half of Met Life stadium. The stadium is owned by the MetLife Stadium Company, a joint venture of the Giants and Jets. It cost 1.6 billion to construct. Jets aren't going anywhere.
My opinion is that the Jets will be moving back to NY either in Queens or Long Island. It will be a retractable roof that can host the Super Bowl and future Olympics.
Sheikh Mansour isn't going to agree to a stadium share... you can throw that right out the window. MetLife isn't bad. It's just a pain in the ass to get to. If you use public transit, it's a nearly 2 hour trip from Manhattan, let alone if you're coming from Long Island. They honestly should explore building in one of the 5 boroughs, but Woody Johnson won't pull out the wallet to do so.
Actually the Giants wanted to move up to Weschester County which is just North of the Bronx in 2002, but then Governor George Pataki rejected due to dispute over zoning and funding. And he hated the Mara Family. So the Giants were forced back to NJ.
Giants do just fine in NJ. Look how quickly they sold out their Personal Seat Licenses. The Jets "may" have asked, but there was no way the Giants were going to join them.
The problem with Queens right now is crime. Crime has been going up, still nowhere near the levels of 1970’s and 1980’s. The old joke was how many cars would be stolen at Yankees games amongst the NYPD during those decades. If I was the owner of NYCFC, I would be ready to sue the city for negotiating in bad faith over the stadium deal. That team wanted to leave ‘current’ Yankee Stadium for a soccer-specific stadium. If the Jets are offered an expanded version of NYCFC stadium, they failed in their quest. I would alert the MLS is a possible immediate move from New York. However, the Jets have too much invested in East Rutherford. Their facility is ‘nearby’ (traffic in North Jersey makes ‘across the street’ seem like a transcontinental trip). The Johnson family, who owns the Jets, are located in New Jersey as well as most of their investments. The NY Giants have more to gain right now, if they leave NJ. This is due to the fact that the Tisch and Mara families are not as entrenched in the state as the Johnson family.
@timothymoroney9100- i always wondered why the mara family (giants) didnt at least build their practice facility in westchester county since he lives there.
@@infoguy1978 Wellington MARA wanted to move the Giants over to Weschester County in 2002 to build a new stadium their a long with a new practice facility and headquarters. But Then Governor George Pataki rejected it flat out because he was a jealous Jets fan and hated the Mara Family. So they were forced to go back to New Jersey.
03:38 There's nothing to look at. Its the Meadowlands. There's nothing to see, except the Meadowlands Arena or that American Dream thing. If you're thinking about the Manhattan skyline, its too far away to get a good view. You can see it, sort of, from the upper deck, but its pretty far. If MetLife was right across the river, it would have an awsome view, but E. Rutherford is too far inland.
The Jet fan base Is Long Island. Tone deaf Johnson wanted NYC or nothing (queens wasn't good enough) so he took his marbles and went to Jersey and Giants stadium.
I don’t want to pay for a new stadium for the Jets, considering that N.Y. is paying in part for the Bills stadium and are still paying for the baseball parks in the Bronx and Queens.
2030 is the feasible timeline for the Jets to move away from Metlife Stadium. They moved their HQ their and have a half interest in the stadium as whole, this really begs the question of "Who is going to buy that?" The Giants are the likely option and this would give the Giants 100% control over Metlife and the surrounding area. The Westside plan seems to still be viable and the valuation of the Jets going up allows the Johnsons to have more equity leverage to pay for the property and build a stadium without requiring tax payer dollars. If I remember right there were 3 or 4 different concept sketches built for that project and all of them were relatively unique and would give the Jets a home for the next 35-40 years. All of this being said, it would actually benefit the Jets to find another resident to share the stadium with. A MLS or USL soccer team would help keep the stadium used and would allow the Jets flexibility because of a reduction in costs. Just an observation and comment about the New England Revolution: Foxborough is a 35-50 minute drive from Boston, asking fans to do that 8-9 times a season to watch the Patriots is certainly different than asking the Revolution fans to do it 16-17 times a season. The atmosphere looks absolutely miserable because ... it is. A stadium that was designed to 'hide' the additional seating may actually work. For example, the Jets design their stadium so that the lower bowl and suites are the only two sections required to seat roughly 25,000-35,000 people. Tarps could easily be placed over the upper deck to 'add' to the experience of the soccer (2nd tenant) club fans and not 'subtract'. Also, semi closed stadiums have a much more intimate feel than open football stadiums. The more soccer style design would actually be a pretty good venue for both sports and therefore a net positive to the NY area. Dual stadiums will always deal with the marketing issues, having "Jets" plastered all over the stadium when MLS fans are utilizing it isn't ideal but those are small things to work through given a 2.5-3 billion dollar stadium.
If the Jets want to do it in Queens, they have until 2027 before NYCFC moves into their 25,000 seat stadium across from Citifield. After that I can't think of a shared tenant or even a piece of land out that way.
Nycfc might not want to share stadiums anymore anyway because there stadiums they are at now. They shared with the Yankees. The nightmare. That why they need the new stadiums for thereselves only for that reason here.
And the new York red bulls are in red bull arena which is over 2 to 4 miles away from new York city in New Jersey. And they need a new stadium anyway. And they might be happy to share the stadium with the Jets. So that is a great idea anyway for that here. So yeah. What do you think?
New York City is following a lot of other cities. People are leaving and crime is soaring. Homeless population is exploding while there is an onslaught of illegal immigrants. It's a city in decline and there is no call to built such a stadium and dump the bill on however many legit taxpayers are left
The Jets should move into a new better stadium & they should name that field after a New York City hero like Daniel Perry, a man who did the right thing.
i wish they would. i'm from new jersey and am so tired of the giants, jets and redbulls not putting new jersey on their chest. or at least ny/nj. another option (which isnt my first choice) is just knock down metlife and build a nicer looking stadium
Some of us have been talking for a while now that the Jets window to a brand new stadium is coming and opening up and they can realistically move back into NYC especially in Queens where we just had the UBS Arena built for the NY Islanders. I think that's their realistic location although Manhattan's West Side Stadium project back in the 2000s would've been cool, but I know James Dolan would fight against it being built and taking events away from MSG. They should build a state-of-the-art domed stadium, I do think they're going to have to stay at ugly MetLife for a few more years as it's going to take time to plan up a realistic location to build this stadium at as I think in the 2030s is when we can realistically finally see the Jets move away from a Giants owned stadium for the first time since 1984.
No, no "realistically" about it! The stadium is owned by the MetLife Stadium Company, a joint venture of the Giants and Jets. It cost 1.6 billion to construct. Jets aren't going anywhere.
MetLife Stadium cost $1.6 billion and as a joint venture between the Giants and Jets. It is a top tier venue for football and flexible for soccer. And while folks may complain about transportation between the 5 boroughs of NYC and Jersey. The venue in East Rutherford, is no different than the Rams and Chargers playing in Inglewood. MetLife is a great place for both the Giants and Jets to both share and call home for many years to come.
I think both the Giants and Jets will opt out of their current lease with MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford following the 2025 NFL season and return to New York City, where the Giants will play their home games at their new $2.5 billion 88,000-seat retractable roof waterfront stadium on the Harlem River Yards site in the Bronx and the Jets will play their home games at their new $2.25 85,000-seat open-air stadium next to Citi Field in Queens in the 2026 NFL season.
The Jets are staying in NJ. They could barely sell out Shea back in the day. I was there , I know. They have been in Jersey 40 years now. Almost twice as many years as Shea. They have also been sold out for every game. Its never going to happen !!!!!
Teams that share stadiums actually have big advanteges over the rest because they each get more stadium at half the cost. Sharing investments gives them the edge. This puts MetLife stadium in a position to be fully paid for long before any other new stadium. In Unity there is strength. Los Angeles was so impressed with the 2 team system of MetLife Stadium - It actually motivated them to get a 2 team stadium themselves and bring the NFL back to LA. Look how well that worked out. Like it or not these shared stadiums are actually working and is setting the example on what it means to help the economy. Single team stadiums COSTS more tax dollars. Shared stadiums SAVES more tax dollars. Even The Allianz Arena in Munich Germany has 3 soccer teams sharing that stadium and are doing well. The Dallas Cowboys had a chance to build a shared stadium with the Houston Texans, But turned it down flat. The results, A stadium that has Arlington overpaying tax dollars to a stadium, A retractable roof, and even the big scoreboard. Not enough revenue left over to do much improvements to the traffic roads, parking or public transportation. Now they're falling behind with failures hosting major events because of such heavy discomforts to fans. Face it - They blew it. Many teams could learn from the Cowboys mistake.
After NY and LA the only other metro region with 2 teams close enough for a shared stadium "might" have been the California Bay area. But that time has passed.
Naah the NY Jokes will never get their own home, unless they get a toxic sandpit in Long Island. They are a third class team in a second class town. The Jokes are the butt of the leagues Jokes.
from a Jets fan as much as I'd love our own stadium at least for the short term future i don't see it happening for at least another 10 years if not longer also if one of the teams based in Metlife gets to go back to NYC would that really not be the Giants ?
No because MetLife and the whole jersey thing was the giants idea first. The giants still have a lot of fans in jersey but the jets have a lot of Long Island fans who would come to more games if the stadium was in queens

Oh, it can definitely happen bro as the Jets didn't need to build one and stadiums weren't really getting built like that when they moved out of Shea. The stadium build movement started back in the 90s and 2000s. A lot of teams were in their cookie-cutters from the 60s and 70s and didn't need to move yet. I think now is a more realistic time, now if you told me Manhattan, I can believe that, but Queens is definitely possible.
Unless the Jets move in with NYC FC, I doubt they'll have any leverage to move anywhere. Either stay & coexist with the Giants OR move to different city (Birmingham, AL?)

Chargers should go to Anaheim
@@SeanCain98 Where in Anaheim? I don't think it will ever happen, but if it did, it better be a totally new stadium, and not try to renovate the Big A into a duel purpose stadium again. The first time, they nearly lost the Angels to Santa Ana over it. No, San Diego is where they should return to, if Spanos will sell the team.
@@robbarbieri8676 they should build a stadium in Disney 😂😂😂
There’s been new renderings of NYCFC. It’s beautiful.
No one cares about soccer
@@johnmarshall4399 Soccer is popular in North America
As a giants fan i hope the jets gtfoh
As a NYCFC fan I don’t want to share a stadium and there’s no room for a NFL stadium in that area of flushing
Jets in Queens at the NYCFC site with 65,000 seats ideally. Giants at west side stadium Hudson yards. That’s a dream scenario!
As NYCFC fan I don’t want to share with the Jets
@@SeanCain98 i can’t blame you bro
new yorkers would not go for more public money going toward a stadium
oh 100% there would be a Riot
the reason there was not a Riot when Metlife was built is because that was 100% Privately financed not a Dime of Tax Payer money was spent on that stadium
but yea as much as i love the Jets if Newyork tried to get away with making taxpayers even partially fund a stadium for the Jets there would be mass rioting and the stadium would be burned to the ground
Serious question? I’m actually very interested in this and your input would be great. Did NY taxpayers pay anything towards MetLife stadium since it’s New Jersey? Would the city/state of “New York” be willing to “invest”, or pay (bonds, taxes (hotel, car rental, airport tax, besides the airport tax, the others would MOSTLY NOT affect New Yorkers). I’m from Mississippi, I am also pro NYJets having their OWN stadium. They could have a much larger audience share if they move to the city of New York.
@@kappaman1994 i don't want to be rude but did you just not read my comment ? or maybe you didn't see it youtube has a funny habit of hiding comments
anyway no as a Jets fan i can proudly say MetLife was 100% Privately financed not a dime of tax payer money was spent on it
Plus if the New York Jets moved to the new stadium so as the new York red bulls as well. They should work well sharing a Stadium as well. So yea.
Red Bulls are New Jerseys team and they should be rename the New Jersey RedBulls
Lease? They own half of Met Life stadium. The stadium is owned by the MetLife Stadium Company, a joint venture of the Giants and Jets. It cost 1.6 billion to construct. Jets aren't going anywhere.
My opinion is that the Jets will be moving back to NY either in Queens or Long Island. It will be a retractable roof that can host the Super Bowl and future Olympics.
Fact is Giants won 4 Super Bowl Jets 1 since 1968 Rams won 2 Super Bowl 1 in St Louis 1 in Los Angeles the Chargers 0 Super Bowl
Sheikh Mansour isn't going to agree to a stadium share... you can throw that right out the window.
MetLife isn't bad. It's just a pain in the ass to get to. If you use public transit, it's a nearly 2 hour trip from Manhattan, let alone if you're coming from Long Island.
They honestly should explore building in one of the 5 boroughs, but Woody Johnson won't pull out the wallet to do so.
So why don’t the giants and jets get there own stadium with a roof
Didn't the Jets ask the Giants to go in with them on the NY stadium proposal to help get it across the finish line and the Giants stayed loyal to NJ
Actually the Giants wanted to move up to Weschester County which is just North of the Bronx in 2002, but then Governor George Pataki rejected due to dispute over zoning and funding. And he hated the Mara Family. So the Giants were forced back to NJ.
@@grantandersen never heard that wow
@@Dizzle0919 It wasn’t widely reported because it was rejected so quickly.
Giants do just fine in NJ. Look how quickly they sold out their Personal Seat Licenses. The Jets "may" have asked, but there was no way the Giants were going to join them.
@@kevinbergin9971 The Giants fan base is mostly in Manhattan, The Bronx and Weschester County and most of Eastern Upstate New York is Giants Country.
The problem with Queens right now is crime. Crime has been going up, still nowhere near the levels of 1970’s and 1980’s. The old joke was how many cars would be stolen at Yankees games amongst the NYPD during those decades. If I was the owner of NYCFC, I would be ready to sue the city for negotiating in bad faith over the stadium deal. That team wanted to leave ‘current’ Yankee Stadium for a soccer-specific stadium. If the Jets are offered an expanded version of NYCFC stadium, they failed in their quest. I would alert the MLS is a possible immediate move from New York.
However, the Jets have too much invested in East Rutherford. Their facility is ‘nearby’ (traffic in North Jersey makes ‘across the street’ seem like a transcontinental trip). The Johnson family, who owns the Jets, are located in New Jersey as well as most of their investments. The NY Giants have more to gain right now, if they leave NJ. This is due to the fact that the Tisch and Mara families are not as entrenched in the state as the Johnson family.
@timothymoroney9100- i always wondered why the mara family (giants) didnt at least build their practice facility in westchester county since he lives there.
@@infoguy1978 Wellington MARA wanted to move the Giants over to Weschester County in 2002 to build a new stadium their a long with a new practice facility and headquarters. But Then Governor George Pataki rejected it flat out because he was a jealous Jets fan and hated the Mara Family. So they were forced to go back to New Jersey.
03:38 There's nothing to look at. Its the Meadowlands. There's nothing to see, except the Meadowlands Arena or that American Dream thing. If you're thinking about the Manhattan skyline, its too far away to get a good view. You can see it, sort of, from the upper deck, but its pretty far. If MetLife was right across the river, it would have an awsome view, but E. Rutherford is too far inland.
jets need new owners.
The Jet fan base Is Long Island. Tone deaf Johnson wanted NYC or nothing (queens wasn't good enough) so he took his marbles and went to Jersey and Giants stadium.
When you say West Side and Jets. You make me feel that you are talking about West Side Story.
So if the jets and giants make it the the stupid bowl who gets home field advantage lmao 😂
They might make the salad bowl. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If they do Maybe the new stadium will actually be in the state of NY and not NJ
I don’t want to pay for a new stadium for the Jets, considering that N.Y. is paying in part for the Bills stadium and are still paying for the baseball parks in the Bronx and Queens.
2030 is the feasible timeline for the Jets to move away from Metlife Stadium. They moved their HQ their and have a half interest in the stadium as whole, this really begs the question of "Who is going to buy that?" The Giants are the likely option and this would give the Giants 100% control over Metlife and the surrounding area.
The Westside plan seems to still be viable and the valuation of the Jets going up allows the Johnsons to have more equity leverage to pay for the property and build a stadium without requiring tax payer dollars. If I remember right there were 3 or 4 different concept sketches built for that project and all of them were relatively unique and would give the Jets a home for the next 35-40 years.
All of this being said, it would actually benefit the Jets to find another resident to share the stadium with. A MLS or USL soccer team would help keep the stadium used and would allow the Jets flexibility because of a reduction in costs.
Just an observation and comment about the New England Revolution: Foxborough is a 35-50 minute drive from Boston, asking fans to do that 8-9 times a season to watch the Patriots is certainly different than asking the Revolution fans to do it 16-17 times a season. The atmosphere looks absolutely miserable because ... it is. A stadium that was designed to 'hide' the additional seating may actually work. For example, the Jets design their stadium so that the lower bowl and suites are the only two sections required to seat roughly 25,000-35,000 people. Tarps could easily be placed over the upper deck to 'add' to the experience of the soccer (2nd tenant) club fans and not 'subtract'. Also, semi closed stadiums have a much more intimate feel than open football stadiums. The more soccer style design would actually be a pretty good venue for both sports and therefore a net positive to the NY area. Dual stadiums will always deal with the marketing issues, having "Jets" plastered all over the stadium when MLS fans are utilizing it isn't ideal but those are small things to work through given a 2.5-3 billion dollar stadium.
If the Jets want to do it in Queens, they have until 2027 before NYCFC moves into their 25,000 seat stadium across from Citifield. After that I can't think of a shared tenant or even a piece of land out that way.
I wish they would, Jets belong in Queens!!! They are named Jets for a reason, they lost their identity in 1983 when they moved to the Jersey swamp.
The longer the Jets continue to share a stadium with the Giants,the worst it will get.
Jets should get they’re own stadium.
Giants should stay put and renovate MetLife into a Giants specific stadium
Really!? West Side Stadium. Which should of by the new York 2012 Olympic stadium but it been scraped. Like wtf.
Nycfc might not want to share stadiums anymore anyway because there stadiums they are at now. They shared with the Yankees. The nightmare. That why they need the new stadiums for thereselves only for that reason here.
And the new York red bulls are in red bull arena which is over 2 to 4 miles away from new York city in New Jersey. And they need a new stadium anyway. And they might be happy to share the stadium with the Jets. So that is a great idea anyway for that here. So yeah. What do you think?
New York City is following a lot of other cities. People are leaving and crime is soaring. Homeless population is exploding while there is an onslaught of illegal immigrants. It's a city in decline and there is no call to built such a stadium and dump the bill on however many legit taxpayers are left
NYC like LA is an overrated dumpster!
The Jets should move into a new better stadium & they should name that field after a New York City hero like Daniel Perry, a man who did the right thing.
I believe it's Daniel Penny, not Perry.
@@richardcheng7563 you are correct sir. Thank you, I make many errors like that.
i wish they would. i'm from new jersey and am so tired of the giants, jets and redbulls not putting new jersey on their chest. or at least ny/nj. another option (which isnt my first choice) is just knock down metlife and build a nicer looking stadium
They will NEVER call themselves Jersey, you got the Devils, enjoy.
@@gregfrable2626 and they will never move back to dirty nyc. accept.
Some of us have been talking for a while now that the Jets window to a brand new stadium is coming and opening up and they can realistically move back into NYC especially in Queens where we just had the UBS Arena built for the NY Islanders. I think that's their realistic location although Manhattan's West Side Stadium project back in the 2000s would've been cool, but I know James Dolan would fight against it being built and taking events away from MSG. They should build a state-of-the-art domed stadium, I do think they're going to have to stay at ugly MetLife for a few more years as it's going to take time to plan up a realistic location to build this stadium at as I think in the 2030s is when we can realistically finally see the Jets move away from a Giants owned stadium for the first time since 1984.
No, no "realistically" about it! The stadium is owned by the MetLife Stadium Company, a joint venture of the Giants and Jets. It cost 1.6 billion to construct. Jets aren't going anywhere.
sands just bought the nassau coliseum and plan to turn it into a casino there is plenty of room on the site the jets should build stadium there
MetLife Stadium cost $1.6 billion and as a joint venture between the Giants and Jets. It is a top tier venue for football and flexible for soccer. And while folks may complain about transportation between the 5 boroughs of NYC and Jersey. The venue in East Rutherford, is no different than the Rams and Chargers playing in Inglewood. MetLife is a great place for both the Giants and Jets to both share and call home for many years to come.
I think both the Giants and Jets will opt out of their current lease with MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford following the 2025 NFL season and return to New York City, where the Giants will play their home games at their new $2.5 billion 88,000-seat retractable roof waterfront stadium on the Harlem River Yards site in the Bronx and the Jets will play their home games at their new $2.25 85,000-seat open-air stadium next to Citi Field in Queens in the 2026 NFL season.
Giants back in the Bronx and the Jets back in Queens in 2026? Building two new football stadiums in NYC isn't happening.
🤣 I see you play too much City Skylines
@@frdjr2527 Put that pipe down. LOL
There’s absolutely no way in hell New York City is building TWO NFL stadiums.
@@BoskoShabazz That's the truth! NYC isn't building one NFL stadium much less two!
Chatting MetLife is nice
Professional sports franchises should not be sharing stadiums/arenas.
The Jets are staying in NJ. They could barely sell out Shea back in the day. I was there , I know. They have been in Jersey 40 years now. Almost twice as many years as Shea. They have also been sold out for every game. Its never going to happen !!!!!
So basically the Bloomberg plan
Bring BOTH our teams BACK to NYC..
Teams that share stadiums actually have big advanteges over the rest because they each get more stadium at half the cost. Sharing investments gives them the edge. This puts MetLife stadium in a position to be fully paid for long before any other new stadium. In Unity there is strength. Los Angeles was so impressed with the 2 team system of MetLife Stadium - It actually motivated them to get a 2 team stadium themselves and bring the NFL back to LA. Look how well that worked out.
Like it or not these shared stadiums are actually working and is setting the example on what it means to help the economy. Single team stadiums COSTS more tax dollars. Shared stadiums SAVES more tax dollars. Even The Allianz Arena in Munich Germany has 3 soccer teams sharing that stadium and are doing well.
The Dallas Cowboys had a chance to build a shared stadium with the Houston Texans, But turned it down flat. The results, A stadium that has Arlington overpaying tax dollars to a stadium, A retractable roof, and even the big scoreboard. Not enough revenue left over to do much improvements to the traffic roads, parking or public transportation. Now they're falling behind with failures hosting major events because of such heavy discomforts to fans. Face it - They blew it. Many teams could learn from the Cowboys mistake.
Dallas and Houston are too far to share a stadium. 2 completely different metro areas. Unlike NY and LA
@@jack_dagnel Perhaps you're right, But Shared stadiums in a more nutral area doesn't hurt.
After NY and LA the only other metro region with 2 teams close enough for a shared stadium "might" have been the California Bay area. But that time has passed.
Not happening
Interesting
Well Shea Stadium is a good spot
But Bloomberg exists
The Jets and Giants need to get it done... BUILD A DOME!!!!
perfect stadium
Make them a new polo grounds
The jets should build a new stadium in queens
In five years from now, Jets will be in a same rotten boat by sharing a football stadium with the Giants 😢.
City field
Bring the Jets back to Queens.
Maybe the jets could play at Rutgers for the time being , 55,000 seat capacity and they hosted a green / white game there in the past
Jets Need To Be in Brooklyn
Naah the NY Jokes will never get their own home, unless they get a toxic sandpit in Long Island. They are a third class team in a second
class town. The Jokes are the butt of the leagues Jokes.
from a Jets fan as much as I'd love our own stadium at least for the short term future i don't see it happening for at least another 10 years if not longer also if one of the teams based in Metlife gets to go back to NYC
would that really not be the Giants ?
No because MetLife and the whole jersey thing was the giants idea first. The giants still have a lot of fans in jersey but the jets have a lot of Long Island fans who would come to more games if the stadium was in queens
Giants moved out to Jersey in the 70s so they staying
Jets and giants aren’t going anywhere. That’s a fact. Only thing they should do is change it to NJ JETS AND JERSEY GIANTS

@@Jondsmusic must be a dolphins fan
Jets come to Queens 🔥🔥🔥🔥
A new Jets stadium in NYC is not happening! That shipped sailed in the 80s.
Oh, it can definitely happen bro as the Jets didn't need to build one and stadiums weren't really getting built like that when they moved out of Shea. The stadium build movement started back in the 90s and 2000s. A lot of teams were in their cookie-cutters from the 60s and 70s and didn't need to move yet. I think now is a more realistic time, now if you told me Manhattan, I can believe that, but Queens is definitely possible.
Unless the Jets move in with NYC FC, I doubt they'll have any leverage to move anywhere.
Either stay & coexist with the Giants OR move to different city (Birmingham, AL?)
That’s an insult to Alabama! Let them play in stagnant island and let the mob fund it at the dump!
Will they have real grass
I thought they co-owned MetLife with the Giants
No it’s owned by the State Of New Jersey but is leased by both teams.
@@grantandersenthe stadium is owned by both teams. The land is owned by New Jersey
